HAPPY WEEKEND: Ed Helms, Joy Kills Sorrow, The Be Good Tanyas…

We have an exciting weekend ahead for you, Situation readers!

The Sitch’s own ED HELMS brings his mashup of bluegrass and comedy to the Largo stage at THE WHISKEY SOUR RADIO HOUR this Friday evening, 8/17.  Ed and his friends (and several special guests) take to the stage at 9pm

If you want to stay on the east side tonight, might we suggest checking out THE BE GOOD TANYAS, WILLIE WATSON (Old Crow Medecine Show) and LEFTOVER CUTIES at the Bootleg at 9pm (and don’t forget to check out our interview with the Tanyas by Engine 145’s Juli Thanki here…).

This Saturday evening, head on over to HM157 in Lincoln Heights for our favorite old-time trio, TRIPLE CHICKEN FOOT.  This riotous night of music and dancing starts at 7pm and features a number of bands of the bill.  Suggested donation is $10.

Finally, JOY KILLS SORROW, The Sitch’s ARTIST OF THE MONTH, perform at The Bootleg Bar on Sunday night, with local favorites THE WELL PENNIES opening the show. We’ve been playing tracks all week from their most recent album, This Unknown Science, in anticipation of their arrival…. hope you can join us for this special The Bluegrass Situation Presents event.

With so many amazing options this weekend, we want to make sure some of you get to see some great music FOR FREE.  Email [email protected] before Saturday at 3pm for your chance to win one of two pairs of tickets to see JOY KILLS SORROW!

PRESENTING…. The Whiskey Sour Radio Hour at LARGO — August 17!

Didn’t make it to the LA Bluegrass Situation festival this past May?  WELL WE’VE GOT GOOD NEWS.  Ed Helms’ WHISKEY SOUR RADIO HOUR is back at Largo at the Coronet (366 N La Cienega Blvd, LA) on Friday, August 17 at 9pm!

A twist on an old-time radio variety show, Ed brings together his musical and comedy pursuits in a mashup that can only be described as ‘A Prairie Home Companion on crystal meth and moonshine.’

Special guests and musical companions have not yet been announced, but you never know who’s going to show up for this fantastic evening… stay tuned to The Sitch for updates and announcements.  Tickets are available here. See you at Largo!
