Aaaaaaaand … welcome to weekend No. 2 of December. One Blue Night, ye of Frederick Playlist Podcast fame, will be taking the Vini Culture Designated Music Space Friday and honestly – you should check it out. No, but honestly. You should. Elsewhere this weekend, Skribe is heading to Flying Dog to bring his awesomeness in the ways only he can bring his awesomeness. That’s tonight and we know you’re looking for something to do. Hard Swimmin’ Fish, who played our first-ever Frederick Music Showcase, is making their triumphant return to JoJo’s Saturday night and those guys are a bundle of fun. Also … we’ll have a thing or two to say about a thing or two regarding 2018’s Frederick Music Showcase soon. So, keep that in mind. There’s some Crow Hunter. There’s some open jams. There’s some open mics. There’s some Empty Ecstasy. There’s some Lucas Laws (paying tribute to Tom Petty). There’s some Vertigo Red. And, of course, there’s some One Eyed Pug. Stay warm, friends. The cold is settling in and the Christmas is getting closer. Be nice, you know. ‘Tis the season of giving.
