Live fire cookout with country music from Darci Carlson at East End Ballroom; free with RSVP.
Darci Carlson headlines the Smoke 'N Sound Honky Tonk Cookout at East End Ballroom on Sunday, July 26. It's billed as a 'Live Fire Cookout + Free Show,' and the setup is pretty straightforward: live-fire cooking and cold drinks paired with a country set played in the courtyard. Carlson, who hails from Seattle, Washington, takes the lead on the music.
The whole thing runs from 5 PM to 9 PM, with doors opening at 5 PM. Since it's an outdoor courtyard show, the cooking and the music happen in the same space, so you can hang out with a drink in one hand and a plate in the other while the set goes on. The organizers are encouraging cowboy hats, which fits the honky tonk theme they've got running through the evening.
