If you’re still walking by Saturday night by far the best showcase will be by Bloodshot Records and our friends at Hearya.com (Mark Pickerel & His Praying Hands, Ha Ha Tonka, Justin Townes Earle, Deadstring Brothers, Firewater and Waco Brothers @ Red Eyed Fly). Also worth checking out should be the Barsuk (Jim Noir, David Bazan, and Nada Surf @ Maggie Mae’s Rooftop) and Arts and Crafts (The Most Serene Republic, Constantines, Jason Collett, Los Campesinos!, The Stills @ The Parish) showcases.
