Four Good Shows in Tallahassee This Weekend

Grayton Beach's Newgrass pickers Dread Clampitt play at the new Stinky's Fish Camp on Highway 90, which is located in a strip mall east of Capital Circle that used to house the Tallahassee Car Museum (how Floridian is that, directions based on what USED to be there -- a truism my friend noticed is that every direction given in the South includes "where the Winn Dixie used to be")

Anyway, Stinky's is at 6725 Mahan Drive, in the old site of the Rose and Thorn pub. Show starts at 9 or 10.Dread Clampiptt will be playing next month at Suwannee Springfest in Live Oak.
