Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho Devilles at the Alamo

With his ample sideburns, often shimmering stage duds and lubricated pompadour, Walt Richards doesn’t have to strum a chord to let you know he’s about to rip into some rockabilly. Richards and the rest of his early rock power trio are set to do just that at this former movie theater. The venue’s massive stage will allow the band plenty of room for the stand-up bass and Richards’ guitar hero stage moves. Don’t be surprised to see Alamo patrons busting some retro dance steps themselves. They can refuel at the full bar and munch on Fabiano’s pizza.

9:30 p.m. June 28. $10. The Alamo, 19 W. Court Square, Newnan. 770-683-2526.
