Chicago-based, indie pop songwriter, MICH, is playing at Barley St. Tavern this Friday. A Bellevue native, Mich Shirey returns from Chicago to play his guitar-driven music inspired by his childhood in Nebraska. This is the first time he’ll perform his music in Nebraska since he left for Chicago 10 years ago, so get out and give him a good welcome home. The music starts at 9 p.m., and he’ll be sharing the stage that night with Greg Woods, The Sounds of Many, and Maya Duis at this 21 and over show.

It’s the last weekend to catch Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery at Bellevue Little Theatre. Holmes and Watson are on the case to find who is slaying the Baskerville line. This performance is done in a “classic farce style,” so expect to see horror mingled with laughter in this tale of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome hound of supernatural origin. Reserve your tickets to the show here. (Pictured in photo: Ben Beck, Sherlock and Catherine Vazquez, Watson)
