Week Of: September 24 - September 30, 2018
Summary: Fall flavors
There are a LOT of really good shows this week. Some serious legends coming into town like Diana Ross, Buddy Guy, and Joan Baez to name a few.
And some very exciting visiting bands (can you say Leftover Salmon and Rainbow Kitten Surprise) as well as local favorites, all listed with love below.
But here's what strikes me about this week. There's a LOT of really good "not your typical" shows/movies/listening experiences to catch. A smattering to consider:
