Weekend of February 5-7
Not a lot of events this weekend, but they are really good ones. Notice how none of them are happening on Sunday from 6-10pm.. because they don’t want to compete with you know what.
Okay two fun events in Watertown this weekend.

CONCERT PICK
Lewis County Historical Society is delighted to announce the third act of the 2010 Black River Valley Concert Series at Lewis County Historical Society on Saturday February 6th with the Lipbone Redding Orchestra.
Inventive voicestrumentalist, Southern Gentleman and former subway musician, Lipbone Redding, creates original songs that effervesce with New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves and New York City style. Though his songs stand alone, his entire show is greased with uncanny riffs of vocal trumpeting (AKA THE LIP-BONE*), booming mouth percussion, hilarious side moments and esoteric lyrics. Witty, soulful, and sincere, this freespirit has caught fire in Manhattan's downtown scene. Known for his ability to use his vocal to sound exactly like a trombone, it’s hard to tell the difference -- unless you witness the phenomenon live. Lipbone and his two-man orchestra make for a show greased with uncanny riffs of vocal trumpeting, booming mouth percussion, hilarious side moments and esoteric lyrics.
Tickets for this event are $15 in advance or $20 at the door and can be purchased at Cafe Z on South State Street in historic downtown Lowville at Dr. Guitar Music at 154 Court Street in Watertown or by calling Lewis County Historical Society at 376-8957, no credit cards are accepted.
