On Saturday, Liberate yourself from the seasonal mix of cabin fever and slushy socks via the inaugural Winter “Blue” Grass Festival at Menomonie’s Mabel Tainter Theater. The event will showcase the Midwestern’s finest bluegrass performers including Fish Heads, Tangled Roots, Chris Silver Band, and Becky Schlegel. In addition to the on-stage acts, there will be “jamming” rooms available, which allow musicians and audience members the space to jam between sets. The show runs from noon to 8pm and costs 24 bucks.

Seriously people, this event will sink its twangs into you.

Also this weekend: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Mojo Lemon, Late Night Trivia, Gingerjake, Yam Cannon, The Dead & Dying of the Analogue World: Paintings by Eric Lee, Green, Cross Country Ski, Astrophotography Presentation, Orestus + Crash Anthem + Melismatics, and hot damn, the Open Classic County Jam.
