Segovia Wine Bar has quickly become a go-to live music hotspot in downtown Waco, and this weekend brings the first installment of Live Jazz Saturdays, which will run through the end of this year. After all, while country may be king in Waco, you should also check out the well-developed Central Texas jazz scene.
Saxophonist Greg Bashara and guitarist Evan Klaras kick things off at 7 pm on Saturday night, so get there early and nab a prime spot to hear them play.
Have a weird-looking pot you inherited from your aunt or a crazy painting from a neighbor’s garage sale that you’d like to know more about? Head to the Cedar Chest Antique Mall in McGregor on Saturday for its first-ever appraisal fair, a small-town Antiques Roadshow-like event. And similarly, multiple experts will be on-site to evaluate items. Who knows what you might discover, right?
(It’s free, but there’s a limit of one item per person.)
Balcones Distilling and Pivovar are joining forces next Wednesday for a four-course meal and whisky pairing. From the potted beer cheese appetizer to the strawberry and apple spring salad to a filet or pan-seared salmon with a cheesecake dessert, you’ll also get to try some of Balcones’ most popular offerings, including the Texas Rye 100, Baby Blue, and two single malts.
$85 per person. Call (254) 744-9462 to make reservations.
