Entertainment

Tony Lucca @ 7:15pm

It wasn't until this metro Detroit native turned 18 and moved to Los Angeles that he gained even wider acclaim following four seasons on the Disney Channel's "Mickey Mouse Club" where his fellow cast mates included Britney Spears, Christine Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. Now one of America's most sought-after singers/songwriters, in addition to his own albums Lucca's music has also been featured on a mind-boggling number of TV shows including "Friday Night Lights," "Felicity," "Brothers & Sisters," "Parenthood" and many more.

Better than Ezra @ 8:30pm

This America alt-rock trio, based in New Orleans, is a critical darling with both music critics and discriminating music lovers. Now on national tour, the band's sound and eclectic mix of tunes are both original and quirky. The band's buzz continues even today after their widespread commercial success that began in late '90s.
