@ Sawtooth School
>> Arts and Craft Beer: Art. Beer. I mean… what could be better? Head over to Sawtooth to sample some of the area’s best craft brews and ciders, enjoy live music by Royal House along with Francois Byers and Special Guests in the Gallery, watch live art demos and try your hand at jewelry-making, screen printing and more.

@ SECCA
>> Del McCoury and David Grisman:  Crossroads @ SECCA begins its fifth season tonight with a doozy of a duo. From the mouth of our buddy and Crossroads’ curator, Andy Tennille, “this show is the perfect way to kick off the fifth season of the Crossroads @ SECCA concert series, because it’s exactly the kind of concert we envisioned presenting when we started the series five years ago: engaging musical performances from world-class musicians in one of the most intimate venues in the Triad. Del McCoury and David Grisman are bluegrass legends and THE elder statesmen of the genre out playing today. These duo shows are rare and draw on their 50-year-plus friendship. SECCA is far and away the smallest room these guys will play on their entire tour.” Read more about the show and this storied friendship over on Relish.
(6p & 8p // $55 general admission / purchase tickets)

 

 

@ Krankies
>> The Genuine: The heartfelt sounds of Winston-Salem’s own, The Genuine have topped my playlist all week and tonight they return to the Krankies stage. Woop woop! The band began as a project of husband and wife Mathew Allivato and Katelyn Allivato née Brouwer and has since grown into a four-piece group including electric guitar, piano and percussion. You can give ’em a listen here. Tonight’s show also includes performances by Young Mister and High Divers – all for a modest ten buck cover.
(9p // $10 at the door)

No problem. She’ll show you how to connect your movement with your breath as she takes you through a series of asanas (poses). Inhale and exhale while a potpourri of hops and sweet malt fills the air. Afterwards you can take your limber and loose selves over into the Tasting Room to take pleasure in a pint of one of Foothills’ locally crafted beers on tap.
