Why Do Fools Fall in Love?
Chico Theater Company
166 Eaton Road, Ste. F
The setting for the latest Chico Theater Company musical is a bridal shower and an engagement party where a group of friends talk about life and love and sing classic 1960s pop songs like “Hey There Lonely Boy,” “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” and “My Boy Lollipop.” Showing Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, 2 p.m., through Feb. 18.
AJ Lee & Blue Summit
Sierra Nevada Big Room
1075 E. 20th St.
There’s often not a lot that distinguishes one great bluegrass band from another, that is unless they have a lead vocalist like AJ Lee. The singer/mandolinist of the Bay Area-based quintet has been winning performance awards her whole life, and her powerful pipes will be front and center at the Big Room tonight (Thursday), Feb. 8, when her and the Blue Summit band take the stage.
Jonathan Richman + Anna Marsh
1078 Gallery
1710 Park Ave.
A two-person show of oils, watercolors and pastels at the 1078 Gallery for most of February, with works by Anna Elena Marsh and world-famous troubadour and Chico’s favorite adopted-son Jonathan Richman. Artist reception Friday, Feb. 9, 5-7 p.m.
Diggin’ Dirt
Lost on Main
319 Main St.
It’s Lost on Main, so you know there will be dancing on the floor no matter who is on the stage. This Saturday, Feb. 10, at 8 p.m., the groove comes from behind the “redwood curtain,” as Humboldt County seven-piece Diggin’ Dirt drives its energetic brand of funk and soul to town. Nor-Cal Americana, folk, gypsy duo Siren & Seer opens.
The Big Game day
It’s a good bet that Chico’s finer and seedier drinking establishments alike will be pouring cold ones and serving up wings in front of wide screen TVs for the 49rs vs. Chiefs match-up on Sunday, Feb. 11. Everyone from Jen’s Place in Paradise and the Tackle Box to the Paradise Elks Lodge and Butte Creek Country Club will host parties for the Niners Nor-Cal faithful. The game—with all the big-money commercials and a halftime performance by Usher—kicks off at 3:30 p.m.
