TR3

$15-$18

Wild-man guitar virtuoso and longtime unofficial DMB member Tim Reynolds gets his quirkier and more idiosyncratic side out early via the latest version of his long-running TR3 power trio so he can then play it relatively straight when DMB plays JPJ this weekend. (Yikes, that’s a lot of acronyms!) Probably no tutus or gas masks here, though, since those over-the-top theatrics are usually reserved for the solo shows. But anything’s possible.
