The Secondhand Ramblers, who you can see and hear above, will be performing tonight at Jo Jo’s Tap House here in Frederick. The festivities kick off at 8 p.m. and no, you won’t want to miss it. For those wondering if Alive @ Five is still going down … well, as of 4:12 p.m. this afternoon, everything appeared to be a go. That said, there’s still about 45 minutes left, and with the rain continuing to come down, who’s to say things can’t change? In brighter news, there is a bevy of live music going down this weekend, including two festivals – the Shenandoah Riverside Festival and the Elk Run Jazz Festival – leading the way. Should the rain continue to come down and you’re forced inside through the weekend, you could always cozy up with our latest podcast, follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook. That’s only the worst-case scenario, though. Why? Because you should be getting out to see some live local music! Oh. And Happy Father’s Day.
