Yo brahs. This short week snuck up on me and, in getting all of my fantasy rosters ready for the beginning of football season, I was remiss in attending to the live music schedule. So it’s a day late.
This weekend’s line-up isn’t quite as impressive as last week’s, maybe it’s a holiday hang-over, but there are still quite a few good shows to check out.
Football during the day, music at night. This is the best time of year.
Take the jump to see who is playing where. As always, if we left off your band or your city, send us an email and we’ll add you in.
You kids be safe out there.
