If you didn’t make it out to see Michael Glatzmaier during his last swing through Waco, you owe it to yourself to catch him this time around at Bare Arms Brewing. He and a rotating cast of friends are doing two shows this weekend: Friday night is family-friendly, while Saturday’s performance is for adults only.
Eric Linares has quickly made a name for himself after coming to Waco ten years ago to attend Baylor. The serial entrepreneur’s most well-known venture is likely the Eastside Market, held every month at Brotherwell Brewing. This Sunday brings the market’s February edition, and it’s your go-to event to enjoy eclectic shopping, art, local food trucks, music, and more.
Keep Waco Loud’s weekly open mic night has been a staple for local performers and audiences alike. Its schedule at Stay Classy Waco has been scaled back to the third Monday of each month, but now features a local guest musician and host as part of its new “master class” format. Don’t miss your chance to see troubadour Ben Atkins next Monday night along with a surprise emcee overseeing the festivities.

“Judgement Day Friend” by Ben Atkins
Waco native Ben Atkins is the driving force behind The Atkins Tent Revival, but the band was originally formed during his extended stay in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With a unique sound that’s a heady mix of blues, country, soul, ranchera, folk, gospel, rock, and even some ukulele, you’re in for a treat whether you see one of Atkins’ solo performances or a show by his full band.

“Splendid Oaks Chocolates to the Rescue”
Sure, Valentine’s Day is in the rearview mirror, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still treat that special someone… or yourself. Waco Insider food writer Angelica Mazé profiles Splendid Oaks Chocolates, founded by Baylor grad Kevin DeVries and located next door to Milo All Day. Learn what he’s doing differently and how that means you can enjoy a new kind of craft chocolate — and ice cream! — experience.
