So, we should start with this: Remember last Friday, when we had the fine young lads in Marzy Maddox in our super secret Frederick Playlist studios for a live stream on the Frederick News-Post’s Facebook page? Welp, we’re doing it again, except this time, Lost Keys are coming in to play a few songs. The time? 5 p.m. The day? Tomorrow (Friday). We figure it’s a good way to remind you that the Art Market at 200 East is coming up, precisely one week from Saturday. For now, though, tune in tomorrow to check out some of the fabulous surprises these guys have in store. Got it? Good. And now on to the shows going down in and around town. Brian Litz, who will be at our next Jazz In The Vines installment over at Big Cork next month, is going to bring some jazz to Beans In The Belfry tonight. The fine fellas in Dale & The Z-Dubs (above) are bringing their blend of reggae radicalness to Cafe Nola, and lord knows we all need some good vibes every now and then. Josh Morningstar, whose latest album we reviewed last year, is heading to The Blue Side, and if that’s not good enough, SoulXchange will be following him up Saturday night. There’s Willie and all of his Chaperones. There’s Just Left. There’s Muskrat Sally. There’s Special Delivery. There’s Kalevra (and word has it the great Jordan Miller will be sitting in on drums with them, which should truly be incredible). There’s 7th Sun. There’s the Amish Outlaws. And then, of course, there’s Bang Bang. Don’t let the cold and the rain keep you inside. April is coming to an end. That means summer – which is May because this area rarely gets a true spring – is right around the corner. Be good.
