Thanksgiving Leftovers This Weekend!

Here is a listing of area live music and online music happenings for the weekend and week of Friday, November 26 through Thursday, December 2.

While Thanksgiving Day has entered the rear view mirror for another year, Thanksgiving weekend still features some noteworthy live music events to enjoy.

McGarvey’s presents a fun night of funk, rhythm and blues on Saturday when – “on a mission from God” – The Fabulous Booze Brothers Show Band and Revue takes the stage. This Pittsburgh-based Blues Brothers tribute group will entertain with favorites from Jake and Ellwood Blues, as well as other soul, R&B, funk and blues classics and favorites. The show begins at 8 p.m.

Popular Johnstown duo The Evergreens will provide the music on Sunday afternoon during Handpicked Handmade’s “Holiday Curated Collective” event at the U.S. Hotel in Hollidaysburg. Visitors can enjoy holiday favorites from Amanda and Laurel Alt, as well as purchase and take home the duo’s handcrafted candles, plus other handmade items, antiques, flowers, original art and more. The event kicks off at noon, with The Evergreens performing at 1 p.m.
