Cate Brothers

It’s a huge weekend for George’s Majestic Lounge.

Local favorites The Odds will perform at 7 p.m. on the lounge stage.

Matt Smith Group is at Smoke & Barrel Friday night, featuring guitar-slingers Matt Smith, Isayah Warford, Dave Gesualdo, and Mike “Stingray” Garret on drums.

Locals John Henry & The Earthshakers will celebrate the release of a new EP at The Stolen Glass Saturday night. Local reggae band The Irie Lions will open the show.
