Michigan Rattlers – Duling Hall – Monday 7:30 pm

Lifelong friends and deep-north natives, musical group Michigan Rattlers play “heavy-hearted folk-rock with an aching dose of Midwestern nice.” Their self-titled Michigan Rattlers EP attracted glowing reviews from No Depression, Bluegrass Situation, B3 Science, and Rolling Stone, who named the band one of their “Ten New Country Artists You Need To Know” in 2016. Tickets are available.

History Is Lunch – Virtual-only – Wednesday Noon

Photographer Suzi Altman will present “Saving a Folk Art Icon: Margaret’s Grocery,” in a virtual-only format due to rising COVID-19 numbers. Outside Vicksburg, this artfully covered location was the only such store on all of Highway 61 to have been owned and operated by a Black woman. Altman has established the Mississippi Folk Art Foundation to help preserve this unique and irreplaceable artwork. The weekly lecture series of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History explores different aspects of the state’s past.

Covered Music: The Beatles – The South Warehouse – Wednesday & Thursday

“Covered,” recreated by a band made of impeccable local music talent, has had themes from the Beatles to Disco, Singer/Songwriter tunes and One Hit Wonders – all to raise money for a variety of causes. These causes include local and foreign missions, adoption, student mentoring and the arts. This iteration centers on the Fab 4. Family-friendly, tickets are available.

Family Movie Night – Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum (outdoors) – Friday 6 pm
