Sunday
Lewi Longmire Band, Quiet Life, and The Dimes are doing 2 sets each outside at Mississippi Studios from 2 - 8 PM ... and it's free.
John Hiatt and the Combo will at the Aladdin. John is touring to support his latest CD, The Open Road. One of my very favorite artists for a long time, John's new recording has been getting a lot of listening - some of his best work in a body of great work. He's got a crack band (Doug Lancio on guitar, Patrick O'Hearn on bass and long-time drummer Kenneth Blevins) with whom he also did the recording. Ashleigh Flynn will open .... 8 PM, $60 (yeah, a bit pricey)
