If you don't remember Aaron Carter, I bet your daughter, or even younger sister, does. The younger brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, Aaron ruled the Nickelodeon and Disney Channel music programs in 2000 and 2001 after the release of his platinum-selling debut album, Aaron's Party (Come Get It). His covers of "I Want Candy" and "Crush on You" were completely inescapable that year. Plus, he beat Shaq (at what is uncertain). Of course, times change and trends go, and now Aaron is headlining the Rocket Bar. The pop chart's loss is Toledo's gain! This will be the first major show at The Rocket Bar, formerly the Zodiac (and several other establishments) since it's re-opening in September. The Rocket Bar is now under the booking wing of Innovation concerts. The venue will probably serve as a venue of note to University of Toledo students, considering its proximity to campus. $15 advance, $20 door. 7pm. The Rocket Bar. 135 S. Byrne Rd. (419) 536-2582. www.rocketbartoledo.com. —JS
