2PUNK ROCKABILLY: Americana roots rock trio Reverend Red will perform a free show at 8:30 p.m. Friday at The Dillinger Food and Drinkery. Touted as the “American psycho band from the Mojave Desert,” the band is based out of Lancaster, California, and has earned a reputation for mesmerizing performances that combine theatrics with rowdy rock ’n’ roll. They released a new album in 2015 for Rail Rider Records full of rural Americana and gritty murder ballads that pair perfectly with a glass of whiskey. The Dillinger is at 1224 Arizona St. For more information, visit www.therevred.com.
