What's the complete opposite of next month's Gathering of the Juggalos at Cave-In-Rock, Illnois? Country Fried Fridays at the
Brooksider! Through the end of August, the bar (at 6330 Brookside Plaza, 816-363-4070) is hosting acoustic country acts on its patio from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., with no cover charge. Tonight, hear Tonganoxie's own Joey Glenn, a 24-year-old up-and-coming country singer who has made all the necessary rounds in Nashville and various county fairs before coming to the 63rd Street corridor. "This will be an acoustic performance with guitar, congas and a backup singer," she says. For more information, see
