There are always a lot of great options for music on Saturday night, but this time there are some cool daytime activities, too. The Casbah is opening its doors early for its first-ever vinyl swap. Sellers have been preselected to sell from their vinyl collections while shoppers can peruse the stacks for hidden gems. There will be DJs and good times throughout the day. Once you've shopped, drop your new vinyl at home and head to El Dorado, which once again hosts their Craft Beer and Cocktail Showcase. The drinks will be flowing and the music spinning, with a live performance by the Peripherals. When the sun goes down, head back to the Casbah for Daughn Gibson, with Jesse LaMonaca reemerging on the scene in the opening slot, or head up to Soda Bar to catch Whiskey Shivers. Lots more to choose from, so let's enjoy ourselves , shall we?
