Next weekend is big
Previewing Unwritten Weekend and more local shows from a packed March 27-29
From next Friday, March 27th through Sunday, March 29th, the Barking Sphinx Performance Society presents the Unwritten Weekend Festival.
Programmed by Cole Schmidt and supported by partners including Coastal Jazz, Unwritten Weekend has a Franco-flavour to its lineup, likely because of grant funding that supports bringing in its marquee artists. (Arts manager Amélie Malissard, involved in the festival's production, has extended me an open invitation to attend shows on the guest list.) The scope of music ranges from singer-songwriter to improv and back again.
Of course, other places like Tyrant and Frankie's have interesting shows next weekend, too. It added up to such a bounty of live music options that I wanted to walk through it with you today. Here's a look at most of the Unwritten programming, plus some more of my picks from around the community.
