And for the very first post-Labor-Day-trick of 2016 … welcome to Goddess Jam. That’s right. Tomorrow night. The Dirty Middle. Cheshi. Joy On Fire (above). CassiRaye. 200 East Art Haus. Be there. Or be rectangle. ‘Tis your life. The fun only begins there, though, because then throughout all of Saturday, we have the good, ol’ In The Street event going on in and around town. So many great people will be performing as part of that. Heavy Lights. Katie Powderly. Silent Old Mtns. Olivia Lane. Higher Hands. The list goes on and on and on and on. Be there. Or be triangle. Again. ‘Tis your life. A great metal/rock or rock/metal (or jazz/blues or blues/jazz) show is going on tonight at Cafe 611 and you won’t want to miss that. There’s the Donegal X-Press at Alive @ Five. There’s what promises to be an excellent jazz showing tonight at Beans In The Belfry (Mr. Brenzel, what’s up?!?). There’s something called Impeached. There’s the fine lads in Jack Funk. And then there’s Nasar Abadey’s Supernova Trio, which is set to take over The Opera House Saturday night and some of us just might have to make that drive to see what that’s all about. Dude worked with Gregory Porter! Anyway, have yourself a Merry Little September. This tiny space will be, for the most part, dark next week. Treat it kindly. Love you. Miss you.
