Audrey sits down with Omaha's Finest Hundred Proof Men, the Filter Kings. The area's favorite honky-tonkers take some time away from pickin' strings and chasin' whiskey to talk about how they met, and upcoming plans and expectations for their follow up to their debut cd, "Finer Things" on Speed! Nebraska Records.

They will be in Lincoln this Saturday, March 13th, at the Bourbon Theater as Speed! Nebraska presents Mercy Rule, The Wagon Blasters, Ideal Cleaners, Filter Kings and The Mezcal Brothers. Music starts at 8 p.m. $6 for 21+, $8 for 19-20.

Friday night at Louis Bar & Grill is Rowdy Shadehouse. 9:00-1:00 AM. High energy dance funk band out of Denver, Colorado, The Rowdy Shadehouse thrives on the beat. Labeled “SUPERFUNK” by such Denver magazines as Westword and 5280, RSH definitely lives up to their name.

Sunday, March 7th at the Pizza Shoppe Collective is "Music for Life"  Omaha Musicians Bringing Hope to Africa. 5-8pm.
The 9’s and Korey Anderson Band will perform to raise money for Jen Hill and Andrea Krab, who are donating three weeks of their time to work with the children of South Africa.

Audrey talks with Chicago-based Folk group, The Giving Tree Band. "Not only do they give back by playing for charity benefits, they are environmentally friendly as well! Their merchandise is all eco-friendly, from records and cases constructed out of 100% recycled material and organic cotton T-shirts." See them live Sunday February 28th at the PS Collective with Matt Cox. 8pm.
