what to do

On Friday, January 13, I recommend that you go see/hear local popsters Angel and the Lovemongers play at Preservation Pub on Market Square. The show starts at 10 pm and you also get to see two Nashville bands, 13 Stories and Bang Bang Bang. Lovemongers drummer Eric Nowinski tells me his band will take the stage between the other two. Cover is $5. I definitely plan to see this show.

Rob Russell and the Sore losers are playing Friday night at my favorite Knoxville venue, The Corner Lounge. This would be a nother great show to catch this weekend.

Also this weekend, you can see photographer Carie Thompson's new exhibit, "Who We Are" opening Friday, January 13 at 6pm at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church on Kingston Pike. Carie's my favorite local photographer. I love her stuff, particularly her portraiture. For more info on the exhibit, call 523-4176.

On Saturday night, the wonderful Americana group, The Everybodyfields is playing at the Unitarian Church in Oak Ridge at 7:30 pm. (Although I am Unitarian, I swear I'm not purposely steering you that way. It just so happens that several good events are happening at local UU churches this weekend.)
