Friday, Dec. 15

It’s been a week, y’all. You’re gonna need a happy hour after all that.

As always, George’s is happy to oblige. Friday night’s happy hour show features local New Orleans-style second line band, Crescent City Combo, and local rockers, Honeyjack. After that, there’s a country show with Oklahoma’s Read Southall and Texas artist Koe Wetzel in the garden.

Smoke & Barrel has a hip hop show featuring local DJ EJ, presenting the sixth installment of his Wheels of Steel Hip Hop History, and local band Sad Daddy will perform at Mojo’s Pints & Pies.

There’s a holiday show to check out in town as well, as TheatreSquared continues their run of the holiday classic, It’s a Wonderful Life at Nadine Baum Studios. Here’s a schedule of this weekend’s performances.
