Pea Soup Days in Somerset and June Bug Days in Baldwin are going on simultaneously this weekend, just miles from each other, which is fitting as the bands are largely local:
— The bands at June Bug Days are the throwback to two acts that have been popular for years, pop-ish but with quite a bit of variety under the tent. Rhino is Friday evening and Good For Gary Saturday evening. The variety theme gets pushed even more at Pea Soup Days, starting with Paisan and the Family Brass on Friday night, bringing a whole different sound from Cumberland and after touring several states, with 10 musicians playing many different genres to back their dueling guitarists, then having the acts shifting to youthful and harder rockers Contraband at 8 p.m. Saturday, followed by Sunday’s Regret an hour later, known for their short set breaks, which means lots of music.
— Check out the Fulton Brewing special at Dick’s Bar and Grill, known simply as 300 IPA, and it costs only $4.25. That means that it costs just a bit over 1.33 cents for each one of those 300 (and just what exactly does that number stand for?)
