3AM Tokyo will be headlining the Up The Creek portion of this weekend’s In The Street festival. So, really, that’s the after-party. Right? Maybe? Who knows. Either way, they are the final band to perform as part of the festivities on Saturday. And honestly: That’s all this weekend is about. In The Street. Well, that and preparation for the beginning of the Great Frederick Fair next weekend. But we’ll get to that bridge when we get to that bridge. As for this weekend, you can find all you need to know about all the fun going on downtown … here. Elsewhere, Darryl Brenzel, he of The Thing booking, will bring his trio to Elk Run Winery on Friday. Doug Alan Wilcox, our dear old friend, will be returning to Elk Run Winery. The Dirty Middle, who we adore, will be slaying at Beans In The Belfry. Alive @ Five is going to go all the way downtown with Vertigo Red. Dan Wolff and the Muddy Crows are going to take the JoJo’s Designated Music Space. And then, of course, there’s The Bees Trees. We are contractually obligated to remind you that tickets are on sale for The Thing. We announced the bands this week. So … see you there, Oct. 6? See you there, Oct. 6. Be good.
