Thanksgiving tends to bring home the prodigal sons and daughters, which for Columbus audiences means a chance to see some of the state’s great Americana practitioners in one place this Thanksgiving Eve. The now well-traveled Lydia Loveless returns to headline The Bluestone before working on her next batch of whip-smart bloodlettings this winter. Native son Tim Easton rolls back in to show off his ever-reliable roots rock chops. Massillon blues-rock favorite Patrick Sweany will be in the house too, as will Mooncussers, the alt-country power led by Loveless’ guitarist, Todd May. It’s a different kind of meat and potatoes to gorge on this year.
