Live Music Entertainment

3 pm to midnight, featuring: TNT - AC/DC Bon Scott era tribute

  • DJ Jim Legacy 3 - 5 pm – this Soul Survivor is keeping the 70s alive and thriving! When Jim Legacy isn’t rockin’ audiences with his indie-psychedelic tunes, he’s lighting up the dance floor as DJ Jim Legacy. With nearly 3,500 records in his collection, Jim’s crate is a treasure chest of 1970s gold—and yes, he only spins real vinyl. Known for his laid-back vibe and retro sensibilities, Jim invites his audience to dig through his records and make song requests. Get ready for a groovy, one-of-a-kind set that’ll have you dancing like it’s 1979!

  • TNT: The Bon Scott Revue – AC/DC tribute band 7 - 9 pm  – covering the legendary Bon Scott Era of AC/DC: 1975 -1979. Let there be rock!. Hatched at a party in White Rock in 2014 by the late great award-winning blues guitarist, Jason Buie and lead singer Kevin Wright, the duo quickly added blazing guitar man Rich Green. Kev and Rich are joined by Tolan McNeil on rhythm guitar, Alec McEachern on bass and Stefano Pasta on drums. When asked why they stick to the Bon Scott era of ACDC, Kevin replies, “Bon Scott is the only ACDC as far as I’m concerned. There’s a rawness and grit that left the band after Bon died. Every song Bon sang is a classic. I liked the first two albums after he left, but they lost me after that." Dirty Deeds, Highway to Hell, Jail Break, Sin City, Let There Be Rock... People love this band... people love AC/DC... and TNT is as good as it gets!

  • DJ Saskatoon Todd 9 pm to midnight – the Boogie Man is here. Dropping 70s gems scratching vinyl all night long! From a land before time, before cellphones, before laptops, lived a group of people that called themselves DJ's. This stood for "Disc Jockeys". These "Disc Jockey's" played vinyl records. Records were played on electronic devices called "turntables". Using two turntables and a DJ mixer, they mixed one record into another, in an attempt to have an uninterrupted flow of music, to keep the party seamlessly rocking, rocking into the wee hours of the night. Saskatoon Tod is one of these DJ's. One of these relics of a lost time in DJ culture. Thanks to a date with destiny, and a hot tub time machine, he has traveled in time to bring this lost art to 'Mt.Washington' for your dancing pleasure! Bring your dancing shoes cause he's gunna be bringing the heat!!!

1979 Priced Food Specials

Featuring The Fleetwood Mac & Cheese, Chilli Hendrix, The Grateful Chef Salad, Bee Gees Burger & more eats for just $4.99 or less (no, seriously!)
