Weekend Picks, June 29 & June 30

Oona Grady deFlaun and Marie Grady Demott play traditional Irish music (see yesterday's Ithaca Blog post) at Felicia's Atomic Lounge, 508 W. State St., Friday at 5:30 pm.

Samite performs a free outdoor concert on the Arts Quad at Cornell, Friday at 7:30.

The Splendors and Trevor MacDonald play at Castaways, 10 pm. Cover is $5.

Saturday 30 June: The best shows tonight require a little traveling. Weatherwise, it should be a nice night for a road trip. Vance Gilbert, a well-known folksinger of great guitar style and vocal range, performs at the Night Eagle Cafe in Binghamton. Vance is also a funny enough guy to have opened for George Carlin at the State Theater.

Another funnyman of music, one of the ultimates, is Dan Hicks, who performs at the Opera House in Earlville at 8 pm.
