Thursday presents a lot of options as it leads the way into a great weekend of music. You can catch the post-punk stylings of indie-favorites Weekend as the band returns to the Casbah, or you can step into your dancing shoes for a night with Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas at Bar Pink, or you can sway gently to the pretty mandolin stylings of Mandolin Orange at Soda Bar. It's also Third Thursday at 207 at the Hard Rock Hotel, with Parade of Lights headlining the night. A great night of music, indeed.
