You guys really are spoiled for choice this weekend. The city’s hip older sibling is hosting a little shindig with some college rock legends, while the still-cool but much-older uncle spoils ale lovers rotten with a sold-out craft beer extravaganza.

In our opinion, this is a great reason to get out into the city and check out one of the plethora of gigs that we have lined up for you below. There’s even a great festival in Decatur with tunes and food that must be perfect for enjoying the late summer weather. … Continue Reading
