This weekend is starting off strong with two great concerts forcing fans to chose between great bluegrass in Olathe and fantastic funk in Lawrence. At least one person will be attempting to make it to both.
The legendary Sam Bush is playing a free show in Frontier Park, 15501 Indian Creek Parkway, in Olathe at 7 p.m. as a part of the Olathe Free Summer Concert Series. Sam Bush's shows are always worth paying to see, so a free show is virtually irresistible. However, any daring music lover who is willing to do a little traveling, can enjoy this superb show, and return to Lawrence in time for a funky party to keep the night going.
The Floozies are presenting "FUTURE SHOCK": a tribute to Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, The Parliament Funkadelic and other soul and funk artists. The rising stars of Rocket Science will be opening this show at the Jazzhaus at 10 p.m. Between the opener's natural jamming skills and the Floozies' reliably great sets, this promises to be a party from beginning to end. The show will only cost $4, according to Lawrence.com.
The show in Olathe is free, so if you like bluegrass and you can get yourself out there by 7-ish, you have no excuse not to go. But if you can't get a ride, or are in a funky kind of mood, there's an equally exciting, although entirely different show happening downtown for just $4. All in all it's a great night for music lovers.
