Amanda Shaw
The best way to spend the first weekend in October is to catch Amanda Shaw Friday night at John Wood, then go by Spirit Knob Saturday afternoon for some relaxing Fielder, then head over to Cory Wilkey’s Memorial show to rock out with Dead Giveaway and Friends. On Sunday, recover from the weekend with some blues jamming at the Club Tavern. That sounds like the perfect Fall weekend to me!
