The Fabulous Thunderbirds to play two free shows

The Fabulous Thunderbirds, best known for their top hits “Tuff Enuff,” “Wrap It Up” and “Powerful Stuff,” will play free shows at 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Cherokee Casino in West Siloam Springs, Okla. The band

was founded in 1974 by singer Kim Wilson and guitarist Jimmie Vaughn. Vaughn left the band to record with his brother, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Wilson is still with the band, which now includes Jay Moeller on drums, Mike

Keller and Johnny Moeller on guitar and Randy Bermudes on bass. Opening on Friday night will be Scott Keaton and on Saturday night will be Tablerockers. Both opening shows begin at 7 p.m.

Gregg Allman

Downstream Casino near Joplin, Mo., is bringing in Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Famer Gregg Allman for a show on Sunday night. Gregg and his brother Duane founded the Allman Brothers Band, one of the biggest Southern rock bands of all time.

The Allman Brothers were the darlings of ’70s rock. Gregg, who is best known for his vocals, wrote many of the bands’ signature hits, including “Midnight Rider,” “Whipping Post” and “Dreams.” In early ’70s, at the height of their fame, Duane and bassist Berry Oakley both died. Despite the loss, Gregg dedicated himself to keeping The Allman Brothers tradition alive.

He released his second gold album, “I’m No Angel” in 1987. He currently tours with his band Gregg Allman and Friends. The concert will be at the casino’s outdoor stage “The Venue.” Tickets are $15-$50 at Protix.com or by calling 918-919-6000. Show at 8 p.m., doors at 6:30 p.m.
