With only two (and a half, if you count a stage tucked into the rafters) venues and no simultaneous music performances, the weekend’s schedule begets an emphasis on deep and careful listening and invites musicians who aren’t afraid of a bit of intimacy.

Plus: Black Belt Eagle Scout, Frenchkiss anniversary show additions, Curl Up And Die, Brittany Howard, Great Grandpa, and more tour news.

Thursday show options include Y La Bamba, black midi, Sampa the Great, I’m With Her, Lisa Lisa, Lionel Richie, Electric Six and more.

JD Samson has some non-CRICKETS shows coming up too, including July 4 in NYC and two PAT parties.
