Saturday night offers so many great options that it's hard to pick just one show. Karl Denson's Tiny Universe returns to the Belly Up, while the Mother Hips take over the House of Blues. With Dead Feather Moon opening, it's a solid choice for the night. That said, I think I'll be at the Casbah, where Robert Schwartzman will be headlining. He's the singer of Rooney and brother of actor Jason, and with Brian Bell of Weezer's project, the Relationship, and the awesomeness of Jamestown Revival kicking things off, I have to say for me, the Casbah is the obvious winner on Saturday. Whatever you choose, Saturday is full of amazing options, so please take full advantage.
