Mary Lewandoski, Matt Porter and Pete Lewandoski, aka The B-Side Growlers, churn out what they like to call “tradition-inspired, toe-tappin’-fired, vintage acoustic blues, jazz and country” that pays homage to seminal American roots music while adding their own inimitable West Michigan charm. This promises to be a fun evening that’s not only entertaining but educational when it comes to paying tribute to some important acoustic blues legends. More important, the show serves as the CD-release show for the band’s brand new “Home Brewed” album.

Local Spins Wednesdays are presented with support from Glave Business Solutions, SpeakEZ Lounge, WYCE and Local Spins.

Where: Founders Brewing Co., Grand Rapids

Here’s a band description for you: The house band for Detroit’s annual Theatre Bizarre Event (aka “the greatest masquerade on Earth”), The Theatre Bizarre Orchestra is “rooted in Detroit’s burlesque, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, and vaudeville culture … invoking the spirit of dark carnivals, demented circuses, and ribald debauchery, which can only be defined as neo-vaudeville. Their music is captivating and mesmerizing.” Not much more needs be said.

Founders follows this on Saturday night with Grand Rapids’ KJ & The Good Time Family Band, which uncorks funk, rock and soul. Details online at foundersbrewing.com.

His latest CD is “Hidden Journey.” If you didn’t see him at the SpeakEZ Lounge Sunday night, take a pre-concert listen here: http://imersantiago.com/

Steel Panther, 8 p.m. Friday, 20 Monroe Live, $18-$40 — Los Angeles’ Steel Panther takes heavy metal seriously — if you prefer it delivered with parody and raunchy lyrics about sex, drugs, rock n roll and more sex. Did we mention sex? Nothing is really off limits for Michael Starr (leader singer), Stachel (guitar), Lexxi Foxx (bass) and Stix Zadinia (drums), none of which are their real names, who lept off the Sunset Strip about 10 years ago by mocking the heavy metal glam bands whose songs they covered in order to make a living.
