Following the success of his second album, “Hard 2 Love,” the singer/songwriter is touring again and will surely play “I Drive Your Truck” for you. Tell the Blue Chip thanks for bringing in a solid country artist by dropping a few bucks at the roulette table.

Monday,  April 1
Green Jelly with special guest
Ass Puppets & Menophobia
8 p.m.
Smith’s Downtown Tap & Grill
110 Lincolnway East, Mishawaka, Ind.
(574) 255-2227

Hard to believe, but this is the MTV band who put out the massive heavy rock hit “Three Little Pigs.” I don’t know anything about their special guests, but with names like that, I think just about anything could happen. Check it out:    on.fb.me/14k6Io4

Tuesday, April 2
Thollem McDonas
7 p.m.
Merrimans’ Playhouse
1211 Mishawaka Ave., South Bend, Ind.
(574) 329-3430

The Merrimans host another great musical artist in its space south of the Notre Dame campus. Reading his bio, I found Thollem’s overall history to be incredibly rich, even if lacking a “buzzworthy” single credit. If he’s playing at Merrimans’ Playhouse, he’s worth the trip.

Notre Dame, Ind.

The DeBartolo is bringing in some great films, this one about an unusual, multiracial love affair shot in mid ’70s Germany as sort of an updated version of 1955’s “All That Heaven Allows.”
