Live Music to Tickle Your Fancy This Weekend

I can not say enough how much I appreciate the hard work and dedication of local musicians who sacrifice their time to entertain their fans. Local musicians do not get enough credit for the things they do on a weekly basis to please and entertain their fans. Being in a band is not an easy job, even if they do make it seem like it is a piece of cake. I will support the local music scene as much as I possibly can and do what I must to show them that they are appreciated. With that being said, here is a list of weekend entertainment. Please go out and support local music, and say thanks to the musicians. Thank you goes a long way!! Until next time...Music feeds the soul!!
