Tad Dickens, The Roanoke Times’ music reporter, shares his top picks for weekend music events.
FRIDAY
End of the World Party
With Cosmo S. Omsoc, Septapus!
If nothing else, the Mayan end of the world faux prophecy has exposed who is chuckle-headed, and it has inspired a party theme. Two bands of unique music-makers will ply their musical wares while the world doesn’t end and no one is particularly better enlightened.
Details: 10 p.m. Gillie’s Vegetarian Cuisine, Blacksburg. Free (venue encourages donations to performers). 961-2753, myspace.com/gilliesmusic, myspace.com/cosmosomsoc, reverbnation.com/septapus
Friday Night Jamboree
With Rebakah & Us, Katie & The Bubbatones, The Tower String Band
Maybe you prefer flat-flooting it when the incorrect Mayan non-prophecy doesn’t come true. Here’s the spot.
The Parker Trio, acoustic folk and Americana
Family act, does acoustic folk and Americana.
Details: 6:30 p.m. The Palisades, Eggleston. Free. 626-2828, thepalisadesrestaurant.com
SATURDAY
Gregory Brothers Christmas Show
Read more about this annual event on today’s Inside Out cover, in The Roanoke Times. Unless, of course, there is a doomsday or cosmic shift. We’re hedging our bets about Saturday.
Details: 7 p.m. Ken Farmer Auctions, 105 Harrison St., Radford. $10 suggested donation (all proceeds go to NRV charities) at the door. thegregorybrothers.com
Aaron Williams
Hear guitar picking from a Blacksburg cat.
