Soft Rock Cafe

Getting into the public holiday spirit with an entire evening of '70s and '80s tunes.

Overview

On two separate occasions, Black Bear Lodge has hosted what might be the greatest '80s-focused music event ever held: an evening of nothing but Toto's 'Africa' on repeat. That's not on the agenda on April 24, but the venue is getting into the public holiday spirit in a similar fashion — with a Soft Rock Cafe dedicated to the kind of tunes your parents grew up listening.

Think Toto, obviously, but also Hall & Oates, The Eagles, Steely Dan, the Steve Miller Band and Kenny Loggins — which, yes, means that both 'Footloose' and 'Danger Zone' should get a spin. Is it possible to feel nostalgic for a time you didn't live through, or can only barely remember because you were a toddler? Based on this ace evening, we'd say it is.

It all kicks off at 8pm, and entry is free — as is the inevitable feeling that you've time-travelled back to the '70s and '80s.
