Jackson Stokes

Thursday, Oct. 10: Need a little respite from the hectic week before jumping into the weekend? Singer/songwriter Jackson Stokes is bringing his bluesy sound to Omaha’s Harney St. Tavern, all the way from St. Louis, Missouri. Local act The Shineys will open this funky set. Oh, and because it’s at HST, it’s free! Get there early if you want a seat, but be prepared to get up and dance. Trust us, you'll want to. Show starts at 9 p.m. Find out more here.

Farewell Angelina

Friday, Oct. 11: Keep the music going with Farewell Angelina at Iowa Western Community College. Named after the haunting Bob Dylan song, Farewell Angelina is an all-female country group comprised of dynamic songwriters and accomplished multi-instrumentalists. The women blend their “heart-stopping harmonies” over blazing double violins and guitars. Even if you don’t like country music, these talented musicians just might change your mind. Get your tickets here.

Fall Harvest at Big Garden
