After all, those acts filled arenas and stadiums across the United States practically overnight. However, Night Ranger was an anomaly. Not only could the band\u2019s drummer, Kelly Keagy, carry a tune, but also the other members\u2014including Brad Gillis, Jeff Watson and Jack Blades\u2014knew their way around a fret board and could sing their asses off. These days, we can enjoy the great hair explosion of the \u201980s for what it was: a damned good party. Unfortunately, the descent of these acts in mainstream popularity has created smaller, less-appropriate venues for their music. It\u2019s now 2005, and Night Ranger is headlining this year\u2019s Sacramento Art &amp; Wine Festival, alongside myriad food and wine vendors and children\u2019s activities. The gig in Boston must have been canceled. It\u2019s not a big college town anyway, right? Night Ranger plays Stage 1 on the Capitol Mall (between Third and Seventh streets) on Saturday at 5 p.m. The show is free and open to all ages.
