Weekend Live Music List for October 3rd, 4th, & 5th

October 2, 2025 Kindall Reuschel (Nelson)

Erech Bruce and his band was playing to a packed parking lot of the future CJ Harvest on S Western Ave. last Saturday


While you’re making your live music to-do list for this weekend, check out the photos and pictures (here and on YouTube) from the shows we stopped in to see on Friday and Saturday nights.

Friday we saw Erech Bruce Band, the 309 Dancers, and The Next Page on the stage at the site of the future CJ Harvest. The grocery store hopes to open in about 6 more weeks, and the parking lot was full of people who can’t wait to check it out.
Saturday we headed out to Country Saloon for their 13th anniversary celebration with live music from many artists at the the Spontaneous Musical Combustion open stage.

Here are the ways you can take part in The 2nd Annual Takeover at the 3300 Event Center that is just two weeks away:

  • There are only a few days left to get on board as a sponsor if you want to be included on the event signage. We’ll definitely accept later sponsors, but we can’t guarantee we can get you added after 10/04.
    CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SPONSORING THE EVENT!

  • There are indoor and outdoor vendor spaces left as well. Vendor spaces come with free entry to the event, some PML advertising for your business, and some complementary raffle tickets! VENDOR DEADLINE 10/15.
    VENDORS CAN LEARN MORE AND SIGN UP HERE!

  • If you would like to donate to our silent auctions and raffles, please send PML a message on Facebook so we can coordinate pick-up or drop-off.

As you read through your options of where to go for live local music here please remember:

You can download a video, but you can’t download a live music experience
