Tonight’s Concert Pick: The Charlie Manuel Experience


Okay, so there really isn’t a band called The Charlie Manuel Experience, but we do think it’s a cool band name if someone out there really wanted to take the plunge. Let’s face facts: tonight’s Phillies game against the Giants is the game of the year. Being the super fans that we are, it’s quite challenging to suggest that you do anything but find one of those really giant TV screens somewhere and get involved with the game tonight. Sure, you can always go to pretty much any bar in town tonight for this experience or if you prefer being your own private fan, then stay home and settle in. The choice is yours.

If the BIGGEST, MOST IMPORTANT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME OF THE YEAR isn’t your thing then we suggest you check out the following shows:

If you blew it and didn’t get tickets to either of the sold out Felice Brothers shows here in Philly this weekend, it’s not too late to take that drive to York to the Strand Capitol Performing Arts Center as WXPN Welcomes one of our favorite roots rock bands The Felice Brothers. 8PM. All tickets $16

If you can’t make it to York, and you’re still set on going out and missing the BIGGEST MOST IMPORTANT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME OF THE YEAR we suggest you go see Gary Numan whose “Cars” has been forever branded in to our New Wave hearts. He is playing at The Trocadero. Doors at 7:00PM. Show at 8:00PM. All Ages. Tickets are $24 in advance, $26 at the door.

But hey. If it’s all about baseball for you, you could always watch the video below and then head to the neighborhood bar to cheer on the Fightin’ Phillies. And please remember to cheer responsibly.
