…and then it was the Fourth of July. BOOM. Yep we’re a little light for the holiday weekend. I’ll pick up some more info next week, but for right now, this’ll have to do it. There are several summer concert series listing this week. We are hoping for fine weather for all. These shows are a throwback to an era when there was no TV, Internet or Smartphones. The local parks were gathering spots for towns or neighborhoods. A little music, cold ice cream and a bunch of friends and you had a party. Wish I was there … For those of you that crave AC over the outdoors check out some of our great local venues that continue to bring awesome talent to us just because they can. Places like the Peanut Bar & Grill, 4th Street Bar & Grill, Divots and Rons Crooked Hill Tavern LOVE when people stop by to enjoy what they have to offer. Some would be amazed at the variety and volume there is out there. Enjoy your Fourth, be careful, drive safe and rock till you can’t stop!
Do you want to see your band or venue listed here at WTIM send an email to tdietterick@21st-centurymedia.com with the particulars (at least 2 weeks in advance) and we’ll get it out there.
