CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Whether you're ready to rock, roll down the Yellow Brick Road or simply get moving, there's plenty happening around the Coastal Bend this weekend.
From a nostalgic night of late-'90s and 2000s rock to live country music, an Elton John tribute and a free morning fitness event, here are a few ways to make the most of your weekend.
Dad Rock Night at Fifth & Elm
- Location: Fifth & Elm, Corpus Christi
- Day: Saturday, Aug. 15
- Time: Doors open at 7 p.m.; show starts at 8 p.m.
If you've ever found yourself belting out Creed or Nickelback in the car, this one might be right up your alley.
Council Hill is bringing the Ultimate Dad Rock Experience to Fifth & Elm Saturday night, promising a night of massive sing-alongs and rock radio favorites from the late 1990s and 2000s.
The setlist includes music associated with Creed, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Matchbox Twenty, Shinedown, Hoobastank, Seether, Audioslave, Papa Roach and Puddle of Mudd, among others.
Think of it as the soundtrack to road trips, backyard barbecues, garage stereos and all those songs you somehow still know every word to.
So grab your friends, dust off that old band T-shirt and get ready to rock like it's 2004. Your reading glasses are optional.
