You under-agers today don’t know how lucky you are. The locals fast approaching 30 years old could spin yarns about the all ages days of old, when Stones Throw invented the concept for one night a week and Racy’s had some regular shows, as well. Outside of that, you had a basement. That was it. Nowadays you crazy kids are spoiled by places like Infinitea Teahouse and Acoustic Café, which have free live shows open to all ages every week in their intimate café settings. The Grand Little Theater, run by Chippewa Valley Theatre Guild, is booked regularly by local musicians that in many cases will have an all-ages show and a 21-plus show in the same weekend. – Trevor Kupfer
