Oh, man, that’s good. Oh, oh, oh, oh, man, that’s good. If you spend six-and-a-half minutes doing something today, make sure it’s spent watching the above video. It features the Marcus Mitchell Project and the Marcus Mitchell Project will be performing as part of Saturday’s first-ever Frederick Jazz Festival. Tickets are still available, and if you’d like, you can even check out the latest edition of the Frederick Playlist podcast to learn all you need to know about it. Get hip, friends. Also this weekend, Alive@Five appears as though it will go off without a hitch. And that’s always great, even in the hot, hot, hot weather. Something called the So Good Music Festival will be going down each of the next four nights at The Blue Side, and you really ought to support that, too. Mary-eL, who is featured on the latest Fractal Cat album, which we reviewed earlier today, is coming to Cafe Nola by herself and going to groove with her means you’re going to have a good night. Oh. And don’t forget about Firefly. Because, duh. Get outside and give some love, everybody. The world needs more of it.
