Red Stick Ramblers mine the musical history of Louisiana—blues, zydeco, bluegrass and Cajun—and mix it up with traditional ’20s and ’30s jazz as they tour for their fourth album, Right Key, Wrong Keyhole. This young quintet has très strong instrumental and songwriting chops—their tight Western swing will have you saying, “Laissez les bon temps roulez!” Jolie Fille opens. At Gravity Lounge, Tuesday, June 13. $10, 8pm.

Imagine Jack Kerouac’s On
the Road being created on 8mm film instead of that infamous 120′-long scroll of typing paper. The Summer Film Series at Art Across the Bridge offers such a glimpse. See The Cut-Ups, a radical piece that adapts William S. Burroughs’ unique cut-and-paste writing method to the big screen. Christopher Maclaine’s The End, an experimental flick
showing five different people on the last day of their lives, also shows. Wednesday, June 14. $4, 8pm. 209 Monticello Rd. www.thebridgepai.com.

It’s fish-fry time with the “save the fishes” folk. River lovers and landlubbers alike can attend the first annual Rivanna River Regatta and Fish Fry. Activities include a canoe and kayak race, leisurely river activities, an outdoor concert and, of course, a fish fry

People all over the country (and the world) celebrate Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of American slavery. Held around every June 19, the holiday marks the 1865 date that Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended (a full two-and-a-half years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation). This year, PVCC presents a tribute to black baseball in Virginia, an African Village, hands-on activities for children, re-enactments, food, art, and a special performance by the Kusun Ensemble, from Ghana, West Africa. It’s all happening in the
V. Earl Dickson Building at PVCC. Friday, June 16, 6pm; Saturday, June 17, 11am-4pm. 961-5372.

and fiddle—as a bonus, each is offered by a member of the band. Call to register for
workshops. Concert: $12, 8pm. Blue Ridge Irish Music School. 214 Rugby Rd. 263-6288.
