• I'm listing as many local band gigs as available, but they're always changing; check our Friday music listings every week to see where all of your local favorites are playing. Regular weekly gigs are included at the end.
• Classes, camps and vacation bible schools aren't included in an effort to keep the list (a bit) more concise.
• This list is fluid. Check back for updates, and check the weekly event roundups every Thursday.
• All listings are subject to change.
