Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
Club 90NE9, 10 pm, $25
There’s essentially nothing I can say as a skinny white guy from Victoria that can accurately portray, let alone rep, the legend that is Bone Thugs. Don’t be a dweeb—these guys are pros—go see the show.

Slim Sandy & the Hillbilly Boogie Gang
Victoria Event Centre, 9:30 pm, $10-$15
One should never really need a reason to go see the Hillbilly Boogie Gang; the name alone exemplifies what could best be described as a smorgasbord of Americana. This is an event to go to if you wanna dance.

Carolyn Marks’ World Famous Hootenanny
Logan’s Pub, 4:30 pm, free
One may notice that Carolyn Marks thinks Hootenanny is an overarching theme for this column. One may also notice my desperate loneliness, sitting all quiet next to the phone. No calls today, le sigh.
