Craft Hall is hosting tribute bands every Saturday night through May 6. Cover bands will play hits from Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Journey and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Music lovers can enjoy the tunes of yesteryear during a spring concert series at Craft Hall.
The beer hall's weekly Tribute Band Series features cover bands playing rock hits from the '70s, '80s and beyond on each Saturday night through May 6.
The concerts take place in Craft Hall Live, a new music venue connected to the Northern Liberties restaurant. The venue, which includes a stage and space for 300 people, offers bar bites, cocktails and craft beers on draft. Parking is free and people can enter the venue from Columbus Boulevard.
"Tribute bands bring back memories of a simpler time, when people would go to shows and actually watch them, not film them on their smartphone, which is what the spirit of Craft Hall is all about," Dana Canalichio, director of operations for FCM Hospitality, which oversees the venue, said in a press release.
Bands paying tribute to Fleetwood Mac and U2 already have played shows as part of the series.
This Saturday's show is headlined by B-Street Band: A Tribute to the Boss, a timely choice given that Bruce Springsteen is set to perform Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center. The Springsteen tribute band, which hails from the Jersey Shore, has opened for Springsteen several times, and has performed with multiple members of the E Street Band.
The B-Street Band will pay tribute to Bruce Springsteen during a concert at Craft Hall on Saturday, March 18.
Craft Hall's concert schedule is listed below. Each show begins at 8 p.m.
