Multitalented musician Tommy Stinson, formerly of The Replacements (1979–1991, 2012–2015), Bash & Pop (1992–1994), Perfect (1995-1998), Guns N’ Roses (1998-2014) and Soul Asylum (2005-2014), likes to play things loose, going where the wind, or his muse, takes him. It’s how he will approach his show Friday night on the back patio of Lo Main on Main Street.
“I do about an hour-and-some set,” Stinson said in a telephone interview with the Chattanooga Times Free Press. “It’s a broken-down version of some solo stuff and the other stuff I’ve done. I just kind of wing it.
“It’s not a club atmosphere, and I like that. It’s a little less formal after all the nonsense of playing gigs from here to there. It’s a lot less stress, and then it turns into a whole experience.”
Lo Main co-owner Justin Savage said the show is more of a house concert and will take place on the venue’s back porch and that the parking area will be closed off.
