Have you had a proper summah yet? Well, you're running out of time, so get on it! In my opinion, one of the best ways to soak in the last of summer is with good friends and good music!

There are great shows this weekend, including the last concert at the Rose Music Center, a bangin' show at Oddbody's Music Room, and WYSO's community concert, which is the perfect way to get sun and live music at once!

Read on for all the details!

One of the weekend's "do not miss" events is WYSO's 2016 Community Concert featuring Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem and the Central State University Chorus from 3-6pm at RiverScape Metro Park. For this concert, especially because it's on 9/11, WYSO has chosen artists who are Peace Heroes, meaning they promote peace through their music. Love that! Even better, this is a FREE event, and open to the public. There will be food trucks and beer on-hand as well!
