That right there is Freddie Long performing a David Bowie song. He’s going to be at Bushwallers this weekend and he’s a good guy. So … check it out. Welcome to the final weekend of January, friends. To celebrate the end of the Coldest Month Of The Year (or at least so we think), we’ve got a bunch of musical stuff going on in and around Frederick. For instance, Ginada Pinata, ye of Frederick Playlist podcast fame, will be celebrating their brand new LP at both The Opera House in Shepherdstown and Cafe Nola, here in Frederick. That’ll be radical. Something called Stripmall Ballad will be at Beans In The Belfry, and while we don’t know what the hell that is, the name sure is a lot of fun. Milton J And The Leftovers, who just got back from a midwest tour, will be rapping, rocking and rolling at Olde Towne. Jason and Michelle from One Blue Night always impress and they’ll be at Red Shedman. And then there’s Thunderball. T-minus three weeks until the fourth Frederick Music Showcase. Get your tickets soon? Get your tickets soon. Viva la February!
