Music in the Midlands: Stolen Rhodes, Chris Knight
Stolen Rhodes at Breakers Bar & Grill
Stolen Rhodes is an Americana band from New Jersey with a Southern rock vibe and a lively stage presence.
“If folk music were turned up to 11 and included guitar solos, I think you would get in the ballpark of what we are,” singer Matt Pillion says on the band’s website.
The quartet has opened shows for the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jackyl and Blackberry Smoke, and exudes that same heavy-hitting classic rock sound.
11 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14 at Breakers Bar & Grill, 801 Harden St. facebook.com/BreakersBarGrill
