Guitarist and singer extraordinaire Davy Knowles will return to town Halloween weekend for a performance at the Baker Street Centre.
Knowles is no stranger to the Summit City, having performed here on a number of occasions dating back to 2009 when his band Back Door Slam performed at Ribfest.
This time around, Knowles brings his eclectic take on blues and rock to the Baker Street stage on Saturday, Oct. 30, at 8 p.m. This intimate affair will have folks captivated by the sheer showmanship of his virtuoso guitar work and outstanding vocals.
If you’re an avid follower, you may have seen that he performed a new tune, “Broken Time,” at one of his live shows recently. That’s a good sign that he may have a couple of new songs for us.
Tickets for Knowles are $25 for general admission and $50 for Gold Circle at bakerstreetcentre.com, all Wooden Nickel locations, and Neat Neat Neat Records.
Hotdogs and Headshots
An event titled Hotdogs and Headshots is certain to pique a person’s curiosity. The event is actually a collaboration of local photographer Bambi Guthrie and our beloved hot dog slingers Bravas.
The two will join forces on Friday, July 23, from 4:30-8 p.m. at 3416 Fairfield Ave., Fort Wayne, to get a snapshot of you and also to feed your belly.
For $35 per person, you will receive a ten-minute photo session, three high-resolution digital images, and one Bravas menu item.
This is a perfect opportunity for a musician or band who needs a professional press photo. Then again, maybe you want to get a photo of you and your sweetie or update that horrendous Facebook profile pic. Heck, its only ten minutes out of your day and you get a mouth-watering dog to boot.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are appreciated and can be booked by contacting Guthrie at bambiguthriephoto@gmail.com.
