Every night this week has been phenomenal, so I should just stay in bed tonight, but alas, the Mowgli's are calling. Their shows are always super fun and energetic and kinda let you get lost in the fun without any pretense. If you love the jammy stuff and the spinny-dancy stuff, you've got Spafford at the Belly Up or Greensky Bluegrass at the Observatory North Park. Sub Pop singer-songwriter Kyle Craft is back with a show at Soda Bar, Molly Nilsson plays at the Whistle Stop, and the Record Company play downstairs at House of Blues while the Brevet play upstairs. It's a good night to get out and shake off a week full of rollercoaster news.
