Well, we should probably do this again, right? Right.
Just in case you haven’t already noticed, the fine city of Frederick, Maryland, won the Levitt Amp grant for a second year in a row. And what does that mean? Well, it means that there’s going to be a free – and as we always say, you can’t get better than free – concert series going on every Tuesday night for the next 10 Tuesday nights. The place is the Carroll Creek Amphitheater. The cost, as already stated, is nothing.
New this year is an opening act. So, whereas it began at 7 p.m. each Tuesday in 2015, this year, the fun begins at 5:30 p.m. It’s family-friendly, which means you can bring whomever you want, including everything from your cat, which you presumably take on walks three times a day, to the drunk third cousin who keeps trying to convince you that you guys aren’t actually related. Because this year’s slate promises to be pretty darn great – and because we are about 24 hours away from everything starting – we thought we’d publish the schedule here, for your viewing entertainment.

There’s a lot of great stuff in there, friends. You’d be a fool not to wander down to the creek at least one or 10 times over the next two months. Free summer music. Does it get better?
