ThunderBeard: ZZ Top Tribute in Pittsfield

ThunderBeard, a ZZ Top tribute band, plays the Colonial Theatre on Friday night. The band, which wears the signature beards, covers the career of ZZ Top. The first half of the set draws on the group’s bluesy 1970s songs, including “La Grange,” “Waitin’ for the Bus,” and “Brown Sugar.” It then moves to the synth-heavy hits of the 1980s, like as “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Legs.”

Show Review: Jeff Tweedy w/ Case Oates at the Mahaiwe

Jeff Tweedy w/ Case Oates at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center on October 30, 2026. The idea that one singular person could keep a sold-out venue entertained, amused, and at times spell bound all in one night with just a guitar and some well-crafted original songs is extraordinary, yet that is just what Jeff Tweedy did on Friday night, October 30, 2026 at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center at the historic Mahaiwe Theatre in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

And laugh you will if you come to see this rollicking evening of hilarity. Playwright Ken Ludwig is a master of the form of bedroom farce, and this TENOR delivers it, all in sidesplitting, operatic mayhem.
