- Roll On, a tribute to the great country band Alabama, kicks off the annual tribute series at Hardtails Saturday.
Never say never, I suppose, but your chances of seeing The Rolling Stones live in Central Oregon anytime soon seem pretty slim.
The Allman Brothers? Led Zeppelin? Even calling your chances “pretty slim” would be optimistic.
But that doesn’t mean you can enjoy an evening of their music! Tribute bands are everywhere these days, and that’s especially true at Hardtails Bar and Grill in Sisters, which has hosted concert series focused on tributes over the past several summers.
