Right there is Cheshi. And Cheshi will be performing at Sky Stage this weekend. You’re going to check it out, right? Right. Good. They haven’t played much in Frederick recently, so be sure to go out and say hello to those fine young people. Elsewhere this weekend, Poehemia is stepping in for Alive @ Five after being rained out earlier this season. They are bringing the Celtic love, so be sure to love them back. Also going down? Check it. You have Future Sound at Cafe Nola. You have Dan McGuire at Bushwallers. You have Michelle and Jason at Elk Run. You have the JJ Billings Band at Champion Billiards. You have Pete Goodwin at Linganore. You have Poor Ellen Smith at Beans In The Belfry. You have the Maggie Valley Band at Cafe Nola. And you have, of course, Murphy’s Shambles at Barley & Hops. We are right in the thick of summer, friends, and from what we understand, Carroll Street is set to have itself a weekend, so you ought to see what that’s all about. Stay cool. Drink water. Tell someone something nice. Be good.
