THIS WEEKEND!

You’ve only seen the tips of icebergs (or my head above the clouds) on this site so far… Soon we’ll have the full build of The Village put together. I’m still out there seeing shows, following the news, and stoked for the opportunity to offer a new voice. I scoured the Internet and the local weeklies, and here’s what looks interesting in Inner SE this weekend.

Comedian John Caparulo is at Helium Comedy Club this weekend. 1510 SE 9th * Fri: 7:30 pm, 10 pm, Sat: 7:30, 10 * $25 GA, $33 reserved

FRIDAY

I’ve never heard of him before today, but I like what Ethan Tucker’s putting out there. The following is a fun video of him with G Love and Michael Franti. Opening: Joy Pearson Jazz Band + Chris Carpenter Band. Alhambra Theater, 4811 SE Hawthorne * $8 adv, $10 door * 9 pm

Don’t forget about bluegrass / old time at Laurelthirst Tavern. (Do you really need a link? It’s bluegrass— you probably either like it or you don’t.) James Wallace + Austin Quattlebaum 2958 NE Glisan * 9:30 pm * $5

SATURDAY
