As part of this whole Kalamazoo Beer Week, heart-breakers Cold Mountain Child and Northern-boy crooner Pat Carroll will be singin y’all some songs all evening at The Globe. And to top it all off,  you could have your very own pint of a delicious Microbrew for a mere $2.25!

What could be more special than an evening with love songs from the mountain tops and a finely-crafted Poet Stout? Nothing. It’s perfect.

So come on down and watch some cheerful boys play some sad songs! There may even be some R. kelly, if you’re lucky…

Wednesday / The Globe Theater (below Shakespeare’s) / 8 p.m. / FREE! FREE! FREE!

Pat Carroll

Ah, Friday the 13th. What else will you be doing on such a momentous day besides fearing for the world to end and throwing garlic at every passerby wearing black? Why, going to TWO SHOWS, of course! But…they’re at the same time!? Split yourself in two and go to ’em both! 

First, MINUTES will be throwing a record release party with plaid-shirted, baseball cap-donning Aaron Young and His Nightjars and the freshh-faced Flatbeard at the Strutt. Afterword, stick around and boogie down with DJ Special G…

(The Strutt / 9:30 / All Ages / 3 Bonez)

~~~~~~~~~~

Then, EVERYONE AND THEIR EMPTY CUPS will be marauding the masses at Louies with The Redettes and local whiz-kids Lost In Translation.

(Louies / 9:30 )

COME ONE, COME ALL! WATCH AS MINUTES OWN YOUR SOUL! WATCH EVERYONE AND THEIR EMPTY CUPS SACRIFICE A GOAT! 

Happy Doomsday, y’all.

Peace. Love. No Fun.

You got beer, you got bucks! Toss a few to these dudes to help them make it to the next city on their tour. Come around 8pm to hear all the tunes.

Former Michigan / current Chicago musician Abbi Rajesekhar is on tour again, and making another stop at the No Fun House. Abbi’s music is strong and heartfelt, with a great aesthetic that sticks with you long after she’s done playing. I strongly recommend you check it out.

Also playing is Kalamazoo’s very own (even though we stole him from Traverse City), Cat Peril (Pat Carrol). Scarcely will you find a better, more emotive musician than Pat. A great songwriter, guitar player, and generally awesome dude, Pat Carrol is an asset and boon to the scene for sure. Plus if enough people bug him, he might play an R. Kelly song. Finally, a (now rare) acoustic performance by Kalamazoo’s Birdfingers will also take the stage. Deep voice, tasty guitar work, and songs about things people used to write songs about but don’t write songs about much anymore these days. A great performance for sure.

Doors open at 8 and the music starts shortly thereafter. Bring a little bit of cash for donation for the travelin’ act. Bring some soda or chips or cookies to share if you can manage. See you guys tonight!

Ladies and Gentlemen, a two-night extravaganza for the ages! If you haven’t been able to catch local favorites Everyone and their Empty Cups at a house show, dubstep party, or old-man bar yet… here’s your chance!

FRIDAY at The Strutt alongside local heavyweights Ackley Kid
