Scribble, Magic Missile, Golden Brown, Toots and Bladders, Heavy Petty, Hayride: This lineup of sly local rock mainstays promises to be both a hoot and a holler.

Day Joy, Wowser Bowser, The Rodney Kings: With shades of indie titans like Grizzly Bear and Beach House, Day Joy seems on the cusp of something big. Swoon!

White Violet, Outer Spaces: Before Day Joy does its thing, White Violet celebrates the release of its new album Hiding, Mingling with an early Caledonia show.

Junior Brown, Danielle Howle: Honkytonk legend Brown is coming to town. If that ain't enough to get yer snakeskin boots a-tappin', I don't know what is.
