Two years ago it was impossible to kick up your skirt, throw on some boots and get your country on in the South Bay. Mike Grady changed that when he started his own band and brand South Bay Country. Grady and his band of rotating country rock stars will be at the Lighthouse tonight for Country Night. The band starts at 9 p.m. but there is country fun for the whole family earlier in the evening. Evyn Charles performs at 5 p.m. and Tina Michelle (of Tina Michelle and the Rhinestone Cowgirls) teaches line dancing in between sets.
