We really like us some Western Star, you know. We reviewed a record a little while ago and it was damn good. Damn. Good. They are going to be at Cafe Nola this weekend, and you should be, too. Where else should you be? How about at the Weinberg tonight to check out Matt Andersen? Might that interest you? If not, there’s always tonight at The Blue Side, where Sunny Sweeney will take the stage. Shoot, if all else fails there’s this silly band releasing an EP at Guido’s Saturday night, and you might be interested in them. But then again, maybe not. It’s First Saturday, so you are promised fun in the sun. You are also promised Alexander Peters as he takes the Flying Dog tap room stage in about three hours. You should rock it. You should roll it. Happy March, friends. Do something nice for someone. You won’t regret it.
