Mike at Night Summer Concert Schedule: Part Two One of the great things about living in southwest Nebraska is that we're as close to Denver as we are to Lincoln and Omaha and that means a great array of musical talent to choose practically every day this summer. We covered Lincoln, Omaha, and the Council Bluffs area in last weeks' column. Today, we'll look at what's going on in the Denver area along with two different music festivals taking place in Comstock, Nebraska. This weekend is the country festival in Comstock. Tonight, Diamond Rio, Jolie & the Wanted, South 65 and Terri Clark will all be onstage at the Wind Mill Festival in Comstock. Tomorrow, Sunday, the 9th, Steve Holy, The Wilkinsons, and The Oak Ridge Boys will be featured. Comstock will host a rock festival on Friday, July 19th, through Sunday, July 21st at the Second Wind Ranch. The performers on Friday will be Jackyl, Skid Row, Tesla and Vince Neil. On Saturday, the 20th, the Gin Blossoms, Grand Funk Railroad, Lifehouse, Seven Mary Three, the Spin Doctors, Sponge, and Ted Nugent will be featured. Closing out the festival on Sunday, the 21st will be .38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, REO Speedwagon, and The Knack. Two great events coming up in Comstock. Hope you can attend one or both.
