We spoke with Liz Vice a couple weeks ago in anticipation of her coming to Frederick tonight and earlier this week, we published the Q&A. Above these words is her rendition of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Remember: It’s pay what you want, so if you’re low on cash these days, that’s OK, friends. She’s a must-see artist, no joke. No. Joke. Elsewhere this weekend, we have the fine lads in Soul Exchange taking the Cafe Nola stage and they bring the funk (as does Dapp, who will be at the very same place the very next night). Oh, and did we mention that the Downtown Frederick Partnership is hosting all of the fire and all of the ice, too? We know that’s a fun time each year here in lovely Frederick, Maryland. So, a happy First Saturday to you, too. There’s the King Street Kats. There’s Mountain Ride. There’s Litz. There’s a bluegrass rendition of The Who’s “Tommy” (doesn’t that sound like a hoot?!). And then, of course, there’s Hot Tub Limo. We want to put an early reminder out now, friends, that Lost Keys are gearing up for their EP release show at Champions next weekend. We’ll have more on that next week. Consider this a save the date. Have fun. Be nice. Eat good food. And viva la Groundhog Day!
