Poker Night @ Big Daddy's Soulard

Poker Night at Big Daddy's Bar & Grill - Soulard features the DeepStacks Poker League in a free, risk-free competitive setting that offers a path to major cash prizes in Las Vegas.

Strong finishes are rewarded along the way, with BPO tokens for the top three and Super League points for roughly the top fifth of the field.

Joelton Mayfield w/ Hunter Peebles

At The Sinkhole, Joelton Mayfield appears with Hunter Peebles. Mayfield’s debut LP, Crowd Pleaser, took shape after nearly a decade of groundwork that began with him directing music at a Texas church while questioning his faith, continued through a move to Nashville where he exchanged a music business track for English and found community in indie rock and alt country, and culminated at a farm near Mobile Bay where he and friends turned a barn into a studio. He brought in a Hammond organ from Nashville and his grandmother’s century-old vibraphone from Texas, then captured ten songs in a burst of urgency after a sudden breakup, channeling themes of trauma, hypocrisy, pain, and disappointment into clear-eyed storytelling rooted in Southern traditions and boundary-pushing country rock. Tickets are $10. All ages.

Holy Wave

Holy Wave brings its subterranean pop to The Sinkhole with music shaped during the creation of the full-length i’m DADA, recorded in Ensenada, Mexico. Sessions at El Derrumbe with experimental duo Lorelle Meets the Obsolete fostered a communal feel, and mixing by Joo Joo Ashworth helped crystallize a punchier, more deliberate sound. With members connected to the El Paso border region, the project grew from conversations about fatherhood, partnership, breakups, estrangement, the quickening presence of AI, and staying principled in an uncertain world. The result tightens the band’s trademark haze into hypnotic motion, threading loops and samples through grooves that cycle and build. Some tracks stretch out with dub-like space, others move with cinematic downtempo weight, pairing dream-washed textures and gentle vocals with rhythms that pull forward. “dewey’s dirge” unfolds patiently on hazy guitars and a softened motorik pulse, while the title track rides a taut, circular rhythm with rubbery bass and clipped guitar, reflecting the complexities of parental devotion. “s33.u.in/HAL” arrives like a transmission in midair, immersive and unresolved, chasing clarity through the noise. Mystic Valley joins the bill. Admission is $16 in advance and $18 at the door, and the show is open to all ages.

Kelly Howe is Linda Ronstadt in Just One Look

Kelly Howe channels Linda Ronstadt in a rock and roll cabaret that blends storytelling with a catalog of beloved songs. The performance traces Ronstadt’s path from chart-topping dominance in the 70s and 80s to forays into light opera with Gilbert and Sullivan on Broadway and interpretations of the Great American Songbook with Nelson Riddle, while acknowledging her public engagement with social issues during her relationship with California Governor Jerry Brown. At Blue Strawberry, the intimate cabaret setting, with dinner service before and cocktails available during the show, supports an easygoing atmosphere that invites audiences to relax and revisit the soundtrack of their youth. Reviewers from BroadwayWorld.com and the Riverfront Times have praised the theatrical framework and Howe’s standout vocals, noting how the venue heightens the nostalgic impact. In St. Louis, Howe’s stage work includes The Aphra Behn Festival (SATE), Sweat (The Black Rep), and Rodney’s Wife (Midnight). Joe Hanrahan of Midnight writes and directs, and appears as a veteran rock journalist who finally gets to interview a long-held love. Miranda Jagels Felix serves as assistant director, building on collaborations that include The Aphra Behn Festival, The Good Ship St. Louis (Upstream), Hag-Seed (Prison Performing Arts), and work with The Actors Studio. The Just One Look Band is led by music director and pianist Curt Landes, whose credits include performances with Chuck Berry, Albert King, Glen Campbell, John Hartford, and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, along with appearances at festivals around the country and locally. Tom Maloney plays guitar and bass, formerly serving as music director for an international Johnnie Johnson tour and performing with artists from Jerry Vale to Homesick James, as well as co-writing and producing Jeremiah Johnson’s Billboard Blues chart-topper HiFi Drive. Mark Rogers handles percussion and backing vocals, co-founding local groups such as Street Corner Symphony, Walnut Park Athletic Club, and The Heaters, and famously performing on the same drum kit since 1968, with a milk can as a stool since 1973.

Edward Furlong plays the title character, photographing moments in laundromats, strip clubs, and alongside his shoplifting friend, until a New York dealer, played by Lilli Taylor, discovers his blurry images and turns his life upside down. Fame brings fancier equipment and fresh pressures, and those closest to him begin to feel the consequences. Christina Ricci appears as his single minded girlfriend. Blending affection for creative passion with a sharp poke at culture, class, and sudden celebrity, this R-rated comedy keeps Waters’ mischievous bite while revealing a gentler streak.
