Musical weekend on tap for Baton Rouge

You’ll be shopping and rocking at the same time tonight at Perkins Rowe as the weekly Rock n’ Rowe event kicks off. Every Thursday through Oct. 28, a local band will play from 6-9 p.m. for free in Town Square Park across from the Cinemark movie theater. This week, join 1960s rock quartet Time Warp for a hot retro party. Friday night, dust off your favorite studded jean jacket, slouchy neon socks and stretchy leggings: The 1980s live again as The Molly Ringwalds take the stage at the Varsity Theatre. The group’s highly choreographed, high-energy show is a clever pastiche of New Wave, hair metal, glam rock and one-hit-wonders that’ll make any child of the 1980s “whip it good.” Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door; the show starts at 9 p.m. And Sunday, The Baton Rouge Gallery will host the Louisiana Sinfonietta for several solo performances as part of its free Sundays@4 series. The program will include music for bassoon, violin and piano by composers as diverse as Johann Sebastian Bach and Dinos Constantinides. For more upcoming events, check out 225 Select here.
