Adding to what is an already loaded local music schedule this weekend, the Overton Square Crawfish Festival will return for its 15th year Saturday with the festival’s strongest music line-up in recent memory.
Emerging local bands Star & Micey and the Bulletproof Vests will kick things off early, before turning things over to what should be the day’s musical highlight, Jack Oblivian & the Tennessee Tearjerkers. Oblivian and company, who recently released a new, split-7″ single with Chicago’s Mannequin Men, are gearing up for a big European tour in May and June, and Saturday’s gig could be the group’s last local appearance for some time.
Local psych-pop stalwarts Snowglobe (currently at work on a long-form film project for DVD release) performed at last year’s Crawfish Festival, and will serve as this year’s headliner.
