Blind New Orleans bluesman Bryan Lee -- dubbed the Braille Blues Daddy -- is holding court for two nights at the Royal George Hotel in Transcona in support of his forthcoming album, My Lady Don't Love My Lady.
Saturday: She's been to the Winnipeg Folk Festival several times, but this time singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco is bringing her acoustic guitar and political views inside, to the Burton Cummings Theatre. When DiFranco is done, walk over the Albert for the madness that is a White Cowbell Oklahoma gig. The Toronto-based southern rock collective always puts on a wild show, complete with chainsaws and occasional nudity. Earlier in the day, Skate for Cancer is holding a free fundraising show and skateboarding competition at the Forks with live entertainment by Comeback Kid, High Five Drive, the Ripperz, City Champs and more local bands beginning at noon.
Sunday: Metal fans will be worshipping at a different church Sunday as Florida death-metal pioneers Obituary visit the Albert with other awesomely named bands: Goatwhore, Krisiun, Berzerker and Warbringer.
