Ladies and gentlemen: Freddie Long. Enjoy him as he covers David Bowie’s “Young Americans” and then enjoy him as he and his band take Bushwaller’s stage Saturday night, right in beautiful downtown Frederick, Maryland. We find ourselves in the dog days of summer, friends, and you can’t find a more perfect time to wander around downtown with music on the mind. Elsewhere this weekend, our friends at the Let There Be Rock School will be staging the sky (get it?!) and you always want to check out those kids – trust us. Olde Mother is hosting some music Friday night and there’s this band opening for the fine lads in Time Columns at that fine establishment. Silent Old Mtns. will be taking the Flying Dog tap room stage tonight. Alive @ Five is set for some reggae and that’s awesome. The Dirty Middle, who are great, will be at Cafe Nola. And then there’s The After Party. Yes. The After Party. Go hug somebody this weekend, friends. Get up. Get out. Do something.
