Tommy Stinson (The Replacements) and Friends @Palms in Twentynine Palms

In plain words, Tommy Stinson is a great American musician. You can needle-drop at any juncture of the Minneapolis native's four-decade-plus career and find a moment of great significance. Stinson was a founding and lifetime member of The Replacements. He was a key second-generation ingredient in Guns N' Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. He also led two essential bands of his own -- the aptly named Bash & Pop and Perfect -- appeared on recordings by the Old 97's, MOTH and BT.

Note: The Palms at 83131 Amboy Road is a bit farther east of downtown 29 Palms (about 15 mins farther east) in an unincorporated part called, lovingly, “Wonder Valley”.
