FROM CLASSIC BEATLES to songs by legends like Johnny Cash and Tom Petty to originals, you can hear plenty of music in Faribault this evening.
Triple Stitch, a punk/rock ‘n roll band from Lonsdale, plays on an outdoor stage in the heart of downtown during the 6-9 p.m. monthly Car Cruise Night along Central Avenue. This event brings out the crowds to view vintage and collector vehicles against a backdrop of historic buildings.
While I often find the music too loud, others may not. I just move onto the next block. Triple Stitch performs some originals and then songs by legendary musicians.
A few blocks away from 7-9 p.m. inside the historic Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour, GIRL—A Beatles Tribute Band, performs classic Beatles cover songs. The group consists of the mother-daughter-sister trio of Barb and Lauren Piper and Mary Bolton.
Both concerts are free, although donations are accepted at the Cathedral concert. Acoustics inside the massive church make listening to music there particularly enjoyable.
Hopefully the weather clears and opens to a rain-free Friday evening for the car show and outdoor concert. But, “if the rain comes” or not, GIRL will still sing Beatles songs inside the Cathedral.
