Tuesday, Sept. 24
Aaron Carter
7 p.m.
Club Fever
222 S. Michigan St.
South Bend, IN
574-234-5200

Famous for his high profile girlfriends as a teen (Lindsey Lohan, Hilary Duff, Amanda Bynes), Aaron Carter was a Disney/Nickelodeon superstar with a brother in the Backstreet Boys. I suppose this show may have basic nostalgia appeal to some female twenty-somethings, but party girls may have a more mature, and um, controversial plot in mind… Tickets cost just the same either way.

Oldies Blast at Hidden Pointe
7 p.m.-10 p.m.
Hidden Pointe
1062 Nickerson Ave.
Benton Harbor, MI
269-926-1358

Michiana’s reigning authority on all things oldies, Rockin’ Randy, will be playing 50s, 60s, & 70s for anyone loving to dance to tunes of those decades.  If he could only bring in Ed Debevic’s visual ambience, he could well call it a time portal!
