Tickets are on sale now for the show by Grateful Dead tribute act Shakedown Citi, which will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27 ($20).

Dewey Beach’s Rusty Rudder will have big show for spring return
The Rudder’s nearby sister business, the decades-old Bottle & Cork is also closed for the season. However, the good folks at the Cork have gifted us with an exclusive scoop this week and we are happy to break the news about something that will be happening this spring.
The nightclub, which will be celebrating its 90th year in business, will open for the season Friday, May 15, and it will do so in style by kicking off its annual concert series right off the bat that night with the return of Philly favorite Tommy Conwell & the Young Rumblers. (Ticket prices will be announced when they go on sale this month.) The reunited blues-rock act had MTV videos in the 1980s and ‘90s including “I’m Not Your Man,” “If We Never Meet Again” and “I’m Seventeen.”
James Taylor, John Mulvaney coming to Freeman Arts Pavilion
In Selbyville, the newly-refurbished Freeman Arts Pavilion has unveiled a number of concerts that will take place under the stars when it opens for the season this spring. It was no surprise that tickets to see acoustic folk-rock icon James Taylor on Wednesday, Sept. 9 sold out within minutes of going on sale last month. Another large batch of names was announced this week (with more to come).
A comedy show that is also sure to sell out will feature Emmy-winning funny man John Mulaney on Sunday, Aug. 2. While tickets were initially to be available this week, Freeman now says to stay tuned until a new on-sale date is announced. To give an idea of how popular Mulaney is, the “Mister Whatever” tour will also include the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 8 and Wrigley Field in Chicago on July 11.
