Scottish singer-songwriters Lindsey Aitken and Ken Campbell perform at the Bohemian Art Loft this Friday, May 18.
While this isn’t the busiest week ever on our local music scene, we have plenty of tasty events going on with touring acts and local favorites. As for me, I’m kind of curious as to whether Weird Al Yankovic can still pull off those Michael Jackson moves.
Worth noting: the Post Office Saloon, perhaps the north state’s longest-running music venue, is no longer restricted to folks 21 and over. All ages, baby.
