Friday, July 19

There’s a big country show at the Walmart AMP on Friday night, with Chris Young, Chris Janson, and Jimmie Allen. Tickets are still available. Here’s where to get ’em.

Also in country music (but different) local artist Dylan Earl will celebrate the release of his new album, Squirrel in the Garden at Smoke & Barrel Friday night.

How about a rock show? Local DIY venue Backspace has a sweet one with Dull, Musclegoose, and The Wirms.

There’s also a three-band bill at George’s Friday night, with Irie Lions, Cadillac Jackson, and Koodookoo.

If something more light-hearted sounds good to you, there’s a comedy night at Nomads featuring comedians Mary Jay Berger and Mikah Wyman.

There’s also a dive-in movie at Wilson Park Pool Friday night. You can check out Mary Poppins Returns at the pool beginning at dark.

There’s more below. Click around for more info on anything that sounds interesting.
