Also in tunes, former Fayettevillian Nick Shoulders is in town with his new band OK Crawdad for a Smoke & Barrel Show (and Brewgrass appearance on Saturday). They released album not too long ago, and it’s excellent. Check it out.

There’s an electronic show at Axis as well, with Trippy Hippy, Dondo, and AVL.
