While Twisted Sisters Patio Bar typically features local bands, guitar aficionados are in for a real treat on Thursday night when English fingerstyle guitarist Richard Smith performs. If you like music in the tradition of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed, this is the show for you.
On Friday night, Cultivate 7twelve has the opening reception for Intertwined, a new exhibition showcasing the artwork of the Adcox siblings: Robert, Jason, and James Adcox, and Sarah Watkins. Meet the Adcoxes and hear about their inspirations and artistic processes that have led to their indelible mark on the art world.
The final concert in the inaugural season of the Levitt AMP Waco Music Series is Saturday night at Bridge Street Plaza with performances by Smooth Nature, The Union Revival, Nate Breezy, and Sean Anderson and Friends. An eclectic mix of soul, pop, folk-rock, and R&B, this show is free, family-friendly, and open to the public.
