It’s Super Bowl weekend! It’s Super Bowl weekend! So, there’s that. If Katy Perry isn’t your thing and Sunday isn’t your day … well, hell, we’ve got you covered. Within the next three days, we will say goodbye to January (Yay!) and wave hello to February (Yippee!). As usual, there are some great things going down in and around the fine metropolis of Frederick, Maryland, and, of course, these are things you most definitely will not want to miss. Among them? Well, let’s see. There’s the Local Yokel Vocal. Say that five times fast and we’ll throw a free T-shirt your way. There appears to be a band actually called Carroll Creek, and whomever that is will be at The Lodge. Subjects of our Video Of The Week, Moogatu and the Rew Smith Band, will be at Cafe 611 and Bushwallers, respectively. The always-fantastic Last Saturdays hip-hop series is still going strong and it is slated to take over the Church Street Pub (sadly, we will not be there because, sadly, we have nothing to give away at the current moment; though we send our love!). Ted Garber (above) will be acoustic-rockin’ The Cellar Door. Trey Frey is releasing a CD in Shepherdstown. Basswood is steppin’ on up at Cafe Nola. And, last but certainly not least, the Amish Outlaws are coming back to town and holy cow, those guys are a lot of fun. We know you’re going to reserve a lot of your social activity for Sunday night, but if you say to yourself, “Man. I’d really like to get out tonight” … well, we can promise you won’t be disappointed. Hopefully. Maybe. You get it. Anyway, we’ll be back next week with a brand new Frederick Playlist Presents … session and it will feature one of the bands set to take the Weinberg stage at our Frederick Music Showcase, which is three weeks from this very night. Are you excited yet? We certainly are. Stay warm, friends. Stay warm.
