Let it revolveLocal rock band, Revolver, has gone through many transitions through the years, yet always keeping a family thread intact. The current lineup features Tim Ryan on lead guitar/vocals, Sean Ryan on rhythm guitar/vocals, bassist Johnny Brown, and Joe Ryan on drums/vocals. The bread and butter of their repertoire covers the classic artists that just about everyone loves—The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Tom Petty, and Neil Young, while showcasing some original material alongside 90s radio hits from Sublime and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Revolver plays 7:30 to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday, at the Silver Dollar Bar. Free. 733-2190.
