Good afternoon, fine folks of this universe. I’m coming to you live-ish with a reminder that SummerStage is still going. If you’ve spent all summer saying “we should go to one of those,” this is me calling your bluff.

Charley Crockett hits SummerStage on Thursday, 10/1, with Durand Jones opening for the second-to-last show of the season. We’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs, plus VIP lounge access and comped drinks. Enter to win.
