ROCKIN’ WITH LOCALS

Lots of us support the buy local movement, but how about showin’ some love to the Cbus music scene?

This summer you can kick off the weekend early right after work on Thursday nights and check out some of hottest local acts at Downtown Live at Columbus Commons. Click here to check out the line-up and make plans for hot tunes and cold drinks all summer long.

Local bands jam beginning at 5:30 p.m. every Thursday, June 2 – August 25. You might even want to toss an extra t-shirt and pair of shorts in your brief case before you head out the door in the morning, so you don’t waste a minute at the end of the day – the frosty beverages and friends will be waiting and ready. G Finesse & the NS and Fabulous Johnson Brothers open the concert series this Thursday.

If a little more activity is what you crave, the cool kids at Wonderland will turn it up a notch alongside the concerts with Trophy Thursdays – a grown-up version of recess. And you can kick it up from there with Downtown Kickball; register now for the second session of the kickball league.

Or, just hang out with friends on the patio, order another cold one, a burger and fries and soak up the summer fun in the heart of downtown.

Dolly would be proud.

The Fabulous Johnson Brothers outdid themselves last night at Downtown Live, as illustrated by a clip from their rendition of ‘9 to 5.’ You gotta think they didn’t plan to be anywhere at 9 this morning! Thanks to everyone that came out, especially those back-up dancers. Boys, you have a future!

Named to Fox Channel’s Next Great American Band Top 20 list, The Fabulous Johnson Brothers are coming to Downtown Live this week to put on a show you’ll never forget. With influences from all over the charts, including names from Michael Jackson (may he RIP) to Prince, The Rolling Stones and Arcade Fire, their sound is familiar and unique all at the same time. A cooking rhythm section and hot horn section only encourage kinetic frontman Aaron Pickering creating a personal non-stop party on stage that inevitably brings people together to let loose and party!

For more information on the band and this Downtown Live event, visit www.downtowncolumbus.com.

Happy Hour starts at 4 and music starts at 5. Don’t miss drink and food specials from Darby’s Cafe and San Francisco Oven while enjoying a free show with all your friends on the corner of Third & State Streets.
