Hey. Do you know who Tom Principato is? Because you should. Not only is he a guitar semi-star, and not only is he in the above video, but he’s also rocking and rolling at The Blue Side, for your entertainment, this coming Saturday night. As in two days from now. Get hip, friends. Check him out. It highlights the … yes, get ready for it … final weekend of August. Wowza. Where did the summer go? Where, oh where, did the summer go? We can’t answer that, but we can tell you that you really ought to get out while you can. And speaking of the summer not, well, being the summer anymore, Big Cork is hosting a huge bash on Saturday and it will feature the fine young lads in Hard Swimmin’ Fish, Fuzzy Match and others. There’s also Alive @ Five tonight, and there aren’t many more of those left, so take note. There’s Zacky & The Belly Boys. There’s some jazz music. There’s Ted’s Roots Band, and you know whomever Ted is – that guy is going to bring it. Some Jah Works. And, of course, Martina McBride at the Fairgrounds for a super great cause. Honestly. Check that out if you get the chance. Treat people kindly. Do something nice for someone. Wear sunblock. Always. Wear sunblock. Be well.
