Nevertheless, to celebrate Sprout City’s 20th year in business, Moore is launching a battle of the bands series. Moore says he wants to give bands a real critique and not of- fer just a popularity contest. “I want this to be a good thing for the musicians,” he says. Sprout City, Moore says, is a fully functional production studio that usually works seven days a week. “We thought it would be a cool thing to give back to the community with shows that get together some of the best talent in town and give them good critiques on their performance, where they’re at with their songwriting and how they present them- selves as a band.” Sprout City’s Battle of the Bands, which Moore plans to make an annual event, will involve five preliminary all-ages shows held at Whirled Pies in downtown Eugene, with a final event featuring winners from each show at WOW Hall at the end of May. Interested bands can apply at sproutcity.com, and the winner will receive recording time, video pro- duction services, media exposure and more. Most important, Moore says, the winner will get real-world feedback from an audience perspective on how their songs are coming across. They’ll learn prepping things like stage plots and what booking agents expect from a professional band. “Even if they don’t win,” Moore continues, “they’re still going to walk away with all this experience.” Sprout City’s Battle of the Band’s inaugural show is 7 pm Sunday, March 26, at Whirled Pies; $2-$5, all-ages.

On March 25 at Springfield’s Wildish Theater, FAB will recreate Sticky Fingers in what Rust calls a “focused setting, instead of a noisy club, where you’re there to party rather than focus on the music.” The classic record features well known Stones tunes like “Gimme Shelter,” “Wild Hors- es” and many more. The Rolling Stones concert will be FAB Performances’ second event. The first paid homage to The Doors. Rust, who sings, says that while the shows are tributes of sorts, don’t expect him to be “strutting around pretending to be Mick Jagger with a Mick Jagger wig on.” Other musicians performing include Gabe Dickenson on saxophone, Melissa Miller on backing vocals and Jim Reinking on drums. Covering his favorite album in settings like the Wildish is a dream come true for Rust, and he has many more records in mind for future performances. “Some albums you go — ‘oh yeah, that album’ — it’s got like two songs on it and the rest of them are kinda OK,” Rust says. For FAB Performances to select an album, the music must “really reverberate for the band but carry through for listening to both sides,” he says. Sticky Fingers, Rust says, is “really chock-full of amazing songs.” FAB Performances presents The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers (and Other Sticky Hits) 8 pm Saturday, March 25, at Wildish Theater in downtown Springfield; $20, All-ages. 22 March 23, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com
