RAVE 'N' RAGE | Mambo Italiano

The live musical acts featured this week by Xander Nelson include Ladies of the House, Jake Shimabukuro and Waker

PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER Maine) -- For all of its many delights, the homeland of Puccini and Verdi couldn't make opera more appealing to Xander Nelson than good ol' American rock and roll.

Xander and his father, Lee Nelson, sprinkled highlights of their family vacation into their first Rave 'N' Rage segment on the MORNING REPORT since returning from Italy. If there's one thing that makes it easier to reacclimate to the normal routine of life, it's the wealth of live musical acts across Maine.

Here are Xander's picks for the upcoming weekend:

FRIDAY, APRIL 13

Ladies of the House

9 p.m. at Portland House of Music

Emo Night Live!

9 p.m. at Bangor Arts Exchange Ballroom

SATURDAY, APRIL 14
