The show starts at 5:30 p.m.

2. If you're up for something a little more dramatic, an Irish musical group is performing Friday night at 8 p.m. Danu blends traditional Irish music and instruments with local music from the four corners of Ireland. The Irish Times has called Danu "A spirit-raising concoction." You won't want to miss this evening of history, theatre, culture, and music. For more information check out the event listing.

The exhibit will be open Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Also, don't miss out on the 40 Watt Club's lineup for Saturday-- help Drivin' n' Cryin's Kevn Kinney celebrate his 50th birthday! If you haven't caught his all-star side gig with the Baseball Project, they'll be there too, so keep your eyes peeled for superstar guests!
