Drinkard Sisters
@ Hagerty Conference Center
When asked about upcoming shows for her absolutely terrific country-rock band Drinkard Sisters, Caitlin Drinkard replies that the only other show we have booked now except for some daytime music festival in April at a community college in Traverse City really hitting the big time now! And while she was joking, her band should actually hit the NPR/Pitchfork big time any day now, as they are so seriously plugged in to the finest and most cosmic Americana like no one else in the state. This here fest, the fifth annual Sweet Earth Arts & Music Festival, at Northwestern Michigan College, up and over in Traverse City, looks to be fun as heck, with Charlie Millard, Third Coast Kings, and the Ragbirds also performing. Road trip?
Starts at 1 p.m.; 715 E. Front St., Traverse City; nmc.edu; free.
