TSA graduate Chris Metchis first made these pages as guitarist/vocalist of Blue Skies, a cadre of young guns playing blues rock beyond their years. That project is over, but his new band, The Bricks, is already making waves around town, having played this year’s Soundtrek and the Old West End Festival. The Bricks play old-style blues rock with bluster: power chords and blue notes burn over organ accompaniment and deep groves. At age 19, Metchis has a firehouse of a voice, and he will not rest until every soul in Toledo has heard what he has to sing. 9pm. Free. The Bronze Boar, 20 S. Huron St. 419-244-2627. www.bronzeboar.com—JS
