Around here, we are so ready for the weekend, and from our point of view, the only way to kick things off is by partying with us at the brand new Tin Roof downtown. We've got the incredible Megan Kruger, who performed on NBC's "The Voice" this season, Nancarrow and the Johnny Cash tribute band Cash'd Out. Jack Daniel's sponsors the event, as always, so you know the good times will be flowing -- the party's open to everyone, but you need to have RSVP'd to get the freebies between 8-9 p.m.!
