Soul Asylum, Kiss the Tiger, P.O.S. headline 45th-anniversary celebration of 7th St. Entry
The calendar at 7th St. Entry has long been populated with local acts poised for national notoriety (as well as the First Avenue main room).
This month, the big room will pay tribute to the smaller room in recognition of the Entry's 45th anniversary. First Avenue has announced a series of three underplays featuring local groups from different eras of the venue's illustrious history.
Soul Asylum will headline a show on March 21 alongside the Mighty Mofos and Arcwelder. The following night, Doomtree rapper P.O.S. takes to the stage with Makr An Eris, a duo featuring Sophia Eris and Mark McGee.
Transitioning from the 80s rock scene to the 2000s indie rap scene and onto more current groups, Kiss the Tiger will finish the three-day run with the Bad Bad Hats-adjacent Megasound and Eric Mayson.
While it's not part of the run, some other revered locals, The Hold Steady, plan to play the Entry as part of a four-night run celebrating their breakthrough record Separation Sunday this May.
Tickets are on sale now for the 45th anniversary celebration of 7th St. Entry.

Vermont musician's concert, podcast worlds come together with live event in Stowe
To be a full-time professional musician in Vermont means having to string together a lot of part-time gigs. Troy Millette does just that. The Fairfax native plays shows regularly, either solo or with his band the Fire Below. He works days in music therapy. He takes on occasional duties such as hosting the recent singer-songwriter competition at the Venetian Cocktail and Soda Lounge in Burlington. Millette's most high-profile work of the past few months might be the podcast 'Load-In Through the Back' that he hosts with help from friend and producer Pauly Varricchione. For the podcast, Millette has talked with local musicians as well as a host of nationally-known acts ranging from Five for Fighting, Arrested Development and Soul Asylum to Kevin Cronin of '80s hitmakers REO Speedwagon. Millette's gig life and podcast life come together May 2 in Stowe. Millette hosts a live 'Load-In Through the Back' podcast with 2000s rockers Wheatus, known for the song 'Teenage Dirtbag,' as well as songwriter and Americana musician Steve Poltz. Wheatus leader Brendan B. Brown, Poltz and Millette and his band will all play, as will the Washington, D.C. group Brian K. & the Parkway, in a pre-show busker-style performance. 'You gotta keep as many plates spinning as you can' to make it as a musician in Vermont, said Millette, who lives in Williston. 'I just want to be involved with as much as possible.' The podcast began last August with the goal of revealing stories about musicians that their fans might not have heard before. Cronin told Millette about the time he was trying to promote a show with the band Train by taking a photo on railroad tracks when he almost got run over by a train. Soul Asylum referenced the podcast's title by discussing one of the '90s band's most memorable concert load-ins, when they brought their gear into a venue past a crematorium during a flood. Millette and Varricchione usually play a pre-recorded song by the featured artist. Brown said he wanted to play a live acoustic set, so the idea for a podcast/concert was born. Millette expects the live discussion to be in more of a freewheeling, round-table mode than those recorded in a studio setting. 'Steve and Brendan B. Brown are such positive energies but in very different ways,' according to Millette. He said Brown is fairly laid-back while Poltz, who co-wrote Jewel's 1995 hit 'You Were Meant for Me,' is typically 'bouncing off the walls.' Millette acknowledges he sometimes feels overwhelmed with all of his musical duties, especially when he misses his life partner while spending so much time on the road. 'I don't know how many more 200-gigs-a-year-in-my-SUV I have in me,' said Millette, who turns 31 in May and played 189 shows in 2024. He said, though, that it's hard to resist the lure of a gig where he gets to have fun and hang out with friends, even if he only gets paid $50 and has to drive 50 miles to do it. WHAT: 'Load-In Through the Back' podcast and concert with Wheatus, Steve Poltz, Troy Millette & the Fire Below and Brian K. & the Parkway WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday, May 2 WHERE: Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center, Stowe INFORMATION: $45-$55.

Michael Jackson biopic likely Moonwalking to 2026
Despite the palpable audience demand for more pop music in movie theaters, moviegoers will likely have to wait another year for at least one Bad biopic. Per Variety, executives at Lionsgate say that Michael, the Antoine Fuqua biopic about the extremely normal and uncomplicated life and times of Michael Jackson, will likely move to a 2026 release date. You can practically hear the crowds of people shamoan-ing in anguish over the decision. Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer stated during the studio's Q4 2025 earnings call that they have seen '3½ hours of amazing footage' and will give a more concrete release date next week. However, the studio will likely move Michael 'out of the fiscal year, which will impact fiscal '26 financial results but will bolster an already strong fiscal '27 slate.' The film was initially set to bow in October 2025. Of course, do you remember the time five months ago when Puck reported that the film was having third-act problems, namely over how to handle the child sexual abuse allegations Jackson faced over the final 20 years of his life. According to that report, the film 'directly engages with the allegations against Jackson. And it not only engages, it wants very much to convince you Michael is innocent.' The script included a scene in which the Jackson family discusses paying off Jordan Chandler, who accused Jackson of child sexual abuse in 1993. The Jacksons and Chandlers settled out of court for a reported $25 million and an agreement that the Chandlers would not appear in any dramatizations. Unfortunately for those looking to finally clear Jackson's name in a biopic starring his nephew, the scenes were reportedly already shot and have since been scrapped as the filmmakers searched for a new happy ending to Michael Jackson's life. Those reports were contested by anonymous production sources to People, who said, 'The Michael Jackson biopic is not in total chaos. The inflammatory headlines about the moving halting are simply not true. The film is moving forward, and reshoots are happening in March.' The following month, Deadline reported that the film would be split into two movies, presumably titled HIStory Begins and HIStory Continues. Alas, it sounds more like HIStory Delayed. More from A.V.
