Now onto this weekend as is the perfect place to be social with warm weather and the Men In Blues. These Atlanta favorites get down with all the blues you can use, and Creative Loafing’s second-best local cover band for 2010 serves up plenty of funky classic rock and roll, R&B, and country, too.

Both performances begin at 9:30 p.m., and then it’s Mick Wheeler on the patio on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Tonight, you’ll find St. Anthony's Pizzeria dishing out fresh piping hot pizza along with the good vibes of acoustic duo, Session Street. Or you might want to chow down on some of famous wings tonight while your ears rattle to the 70s, 80s and 90s rock covers from Men of Soul. The T&T Band gets the Red’s Timbers’ dance floor pumping on Saturday.

Have fun and rock on!
