You know, we saw this name on the slate for shows this weekend and thought, “Wait. We reviewed her record once upon a time!” And so we thought we’d share. Ms. Lydia Sylvia, ladies and gentlemen. She’ll be at The Blue Side tonight. And it’s shaping up to be a warm evening. So, get on up and get on out. Also this weekend, Big Hoax will be heading to Barley & Hops, and we like us some Big Hoax because some members of that fine band played our tiny Frederick Craft Spirits Festival last weekend. Boo, rain! Anyway, we also have some jazz tonight. We have a ton of open mics, which seems to be the standard for the weekends these days. We have Ghost Pepper and 7th Sun, both of which we questioned and answered at some point. We have One Blue Night, who will be part of The Thing in a few weeks. And we have, well, Side Eye. But then again, who doesn’t? Goodbye, April. Hello, May. And what a month it will be. Have fun, friends.
