Ohhhh, we love us some SoulXChange. A whole, whole, whole lot. Shoot, those dudes need to play more around here. Really. Honestly. Truly. Madly. Deeply. They do. They’ll be over at The Opera House this weekend and Shepherdstown really isn’t all that far away, friends. Just sayin’. Elsewhere this weekend, the fine lads in Ginada Pinata will kick off this holiday(ish) weekend tonight at Alive@Five. There’s also a First Saturday this … Saturday. So, expect some fun and sun from that. We have Willie & His Chaperones rock-a-sockin’ things along at Beans In The Belfry Friday evening. We have a jazz jam. We have the incomparable Todd C. Walker performing not once but twice – twice! We have Skribe, who needs no introduction. And, of course, we have Fuzzy Match. And Fuzzy Match is pretty darn great themselves, you know. Stay safe, friends. Don’t blow away any fingers off those hands. Responsible firework-ing is the best kind of firework-ing.
