I've been looking forward to the weekend since, well, last weekend. Since I've caught Olympic fever and #likeagirl is trending, let's talk about the Indigo Girls, the Grammy-winning trailblazers who have been at it for more than two-and-a-half decades and will appear at Humphrey's By the Bay. Meanwhile, another lady with serious spunk, newcomer Lucy Dacus, makes her Casbah debut. Around town, our buddies Dead Feather Moon have a huge show at the Belly Up, Sledding With Tigers perform at Soda Bar, and the Little Richards mix things up at Bar Pink.
