This weekend · September 10–13

Two reasons to go north.

Walhalla PAC's headline slot is back: Ashley McBryde plays the stage Friday night, the first big show since the summer wound down. Jazz on the Alley still owns Thursday downtown, the weekly Jocassee sunset run goes out Saturday evening, and both breweries keep their usual free Friday–Saturday music going — check their calendars for who's actually playing before you head out.
