CALL THE SITTER

  • Oct 11: Infamous Stringdusters & The California Honeydrops @ Ting Pavilion
    You’ve got semi-homegrown bluegrass legends joined by one of the most exciting and enthralling acts to appear on the scene in the last decade at Ting Pavilion while the weather is still nice so take advantage of this beautiful Saturday show before fall gets icky and cold.

  • Oct 6: Tallest Man on Earth @ Jefferson Theater
    This Swedish singer-songwriter is truly one of the most talented and entrancing performers in the whole genre. Bring the tissues because his music will move you to tears. Heed my warning.

CHECK IT OUT

  • Oct 8: DIZGO & Underground Springhouse @ The Southern
    It’s a Hump Day dance party in the middle of your week. You’ve got jammy, fun, livetronica and groove from two super talented bands. Come for the musicianship, stay for the undeniable groove. 
  • Oct 9: Dogpark @ The Southern
    I feel like the combination of The Strokes and Portugal. The Man vibes will carry Dogpark into superstardom. Catch this band while they’re still on the rise before they are huge headlining mainstream artists.
