On this day, Filter would like to give big ups to Roger Naber and the crew keeping the
Thanksgiving Blues Breakfast Dance going. The recession knocked this early morning R&B-and-gospel concert out of commission in 2009 and '10, but the local tradition has made a comeback. (This year's show features Floyd Taylor and Southern soul sensation Ms. Jody.) Dust off your finest Sunday crown and throw down on some shoe polish and a bottle of Remy — it's that kind of party. Buy $40 advance tickets at Niecie's, Club Rain, M&M Bakery, Mad Jack's and City Fish & More. (Get tickets at the door for $45 or reserve seats for $50.) Doors open at 8:30 p.m. at the National Guard Armory at 18th and Ridge (100 South 20th Street, Kansas City, Kansas), and the show goes from 10 to 2.
