Live Entertainment in the North State: February 12 – February 18

Lance Michael Cornwell will play Cody’s OK Corral in Cottonwood on Friday, February 14, and Saturday, February 15.

Eddie Sadler’s sort-of going away concert with Cold Sweat will happen this Thursday,  February 13 at Win River Casino. Eddie has taken a position in Texas, but he will be back in the north state for a few days of every month. If you have the chance, stop by Win River Thursday evening to listen to one of the north state’s most popular bands, and give front man Eddie your best wishes. I’ll be there, so if you happen to see a tall bald guy with a longish gray goatee in the crowd, tap on my shoulder and say hello.
