Ed. Note: Contributor Baylee Less sat down for a beer with the musicians of The Band CAMINO to learn more about their roots in the Memphis scene. They headline 901 Fest this weekend at Tom Lee Park. See the full lineup here. All live photos provided by Adrian Berryhill.
Ed. Note: I’m happy to share this post from Blake Marcum, our resident beer and BBQ expert. Blake is a Memphis in May Barbecue Contest Grand Champion and he has tried a lot of bbq, so he knows his stuff. If we're honest, Memphis locals are pretty used to hearing about the same local posts over and over. You know the ones. Therefore, Blake had the idea to explore some of the BBQ restaurants that get no love, or are newer, or are just not in the conversation as much.
Blacksmith Comedy will host the Locally Sourced Comedy standup show this Saturday night May 20 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.Last week, I had the chance to tour the Old Dominick Distillery. I posted some photos online and told a few people about my visit. The most common question I got was "when does it open?"
Y'all, it's open! They opened on May 1, 2017. It's all up to you now. The last time I snooped around over there was when it was still under construction, so it was very cool to see the finished space. The distillery is very pretty. I'm gonna go ahead and say it's beautiful.
Ed. Note: I'm happy to bring you this post from contributor Daniel Bastardo about tomorrow's Latino Memphis Fest! Be sure to check out the shuttle information and avoid parking apocalypse at Overton Park.
