Levitt’s About to Gear Up!

We were skeptical when we first caught wind of the Levitt Pavilion going up near Fall’s Park. With a streak of music-snobbery we had to ask: Who were these guys? Who were they gonna book? Was this going to be any fun?

Thankfully, we’ve been proven wrong. Whether you’ve heard of the acts or not, it’s always a high-quality (and free!) show. You can never go wrong swinging by and checking it out. This year looks to be the best yet. They’ve got a bigger mix, including western swing vets The Hot Club Of Cowtown, indie-rap lady-boss Dessa, and the bass player from The Stray Cats, Lee Rocker!

Rounding it all out will be local favs like Kory & The Fireflies, kids shows, local openers and more. Here’s the list:

Cinco De Mayo! So…What’s on Tap?

Not that we need an excuse to grab a beer on a Thursday night, but Cinco De Mayo makes it easy to say, “mucho cervezas, por favor!”

There will be plenty of fun to choose from around town, but we’re most excited about Remedy’s super-spicy lager, The Remedy Reaper. It’s their Mexican-style lager, always a good sipper, infused with one of the world’s zippiest peppers, the infamous Carolina Reaper. (We might have to order something lighter as a chaser.) They’ll also have the Saucy Boyz grilling up fresh tacos.

Also on the agenda will have to be Woodgrain. The guys are tapping two Mexican lagers: their Duct Tape Piñata, and the new Piñata Lima – think of it as a much better tasting Corona with the lime baked in, saving you the work and the inevitable shot of lime-juice to the eye.

See you out there, mi amigos!
