Posted by D. Patrick Rodgers on Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 8:00 AM
Anyway, That Little Ol' Band From Texas isn't the only outfit blowing through town this weekend. Tonight you've got Lambchop at Cheekwood, Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown at The Woods, Quichenight at The 5 Spot, Yvette and Ocelots at Betty's, The Queers at FooBar, The Long Players doing Led Zeppelin's In Through the out Door at Mercy (with Warner Hodges of Jason and the Scorchers joining them) and much more. Saturday we're looking at the Sneakers and Speakers event at Phatkaps, Times New Viking with Big Surr and D. Watusi at The End, the second night of The LPs doing Zep at Mercy, Jason White's album release at The Basement and more. There's even some action on Sunday, what with Family Reunion featuring Wick-It and Kidsmeal at Centennial Park and Sarah Jarosz doing an album release at 3rd & Lindsley. Plus, of course, the Top. Have a look at the rest, compiled by music listings editor, beard aficionado and fierce shredder Adam "Dusty" Gold after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a good weekend.
