- Art Hop! with music from Dave Menzo and Friends at Kalamazoo Valley Museum: 6pm-8:30pm, FREE! Dave Menzo is a multi-instrumentalist from Ann Arbor who fuses folk, soul, pop, and world music into his own unique blend. Utilizing looping, he adds beatboxing and guitar layers to each song, creating a driving beat. With his use of effects and layering, you won't believe that he is playing an acoustic guitar. Joined by friends Dede Alder and Scott Kendall, they add a whole new life to Menzo's music. Come see for yourself!

- Highway to Hell-AC/DC Tribute Show: Kalamazoo State Theater, 8pm-11pm, $25. Highway To Hell is more than just a Tribute Band it’s a cult phenomenon for many. It’s a tale of a band toiling in bars in the Tampa area of Florida in 2005 and with some luck, and a new agent, and a whole lotta talent and charisma they went from small biker bars to huge international stages and massive events! Then they lived the dream of any AC/DC tribute.. to share the same stage with AC/DC members which happened back in 2007, and now they face a future that looks bright with even more big shows and growing following. Get your tickets here.
