We’ve got a weekend bursting with music. First of all, we have all the First Saturday activities going on downtown, and you can check to see who will be playing near Frederick Coffee Company throughout the day below these words. Second of all, we have the great JoAnn Garrett Classic set to go down Saturday night at the Frederick Fairgrounds (but you’ve already heard enough about that). Third of all, we have the fine young men in Seaknuckle throwing an EP release party at Cafe Nola on Saturday night. And fourth of all, we have the classic rock of Nobody’s Parents kicking the weekend off in style down by the creek in about an hour as part of the Alive @ Five series. There are so many choices for the next three days that we can’t recommend just one. All we’ll say is that … YOU BEST GET OUT AND SEE SOME LIVE MUSIC THIS WEEKEND! Darn-it. Anyway, if you happened to enter our four-ticket giveaway for the JoAnn Garrett Classic this weekend, be sure to check your email accounts tomorrow morning – we’ll be in touch about how we can get you your tickets. In the meantime, do some planning ahead, friends: This weekend looks like it’s going to be very busy. And very, of course, loud.
