CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLERIGHTNOW) – Whether you’re looking to take in cinematic short films, indie-folk brilliance, or a string-backed Coldplay tribute, there’s plenty to explore across the region. Each week, Anand Harsh of 106.1 The Corner will direct your attention to the music and arts events happening in Charlottesville and surrounding areas that you absolutely can’t miss.

Anand’s Picks to Click

CALL THE SITTER

  • Oct 8: Fred Armisen @ Jefferson Theater
    A one-man variety show, legendary SNL-alum Fred Armisen brings his comedy for musicians to the Jefferson for an all-around entertaining evening that’s good for even non-musicians.

GET YOUR TICKETS

  • Oct 7: Theo Katzman @ The Southern Café & Music Hall
    One of the founding members of Vulfpeck, Theo Katzman brings his funky, soulful, and jazzy smooth sounds to The Southern for a dance party that will not quit. It’s a perfect midweek break.

CHECK IT OUT

  • Oct 9: White Beast & Pinkish @ Visible Records
    It’s gonna be loud, obnoxious, and full of energy on the outdoor stage at Visible Records. Four insanely loud and aggressive bands with full production and a bunch of alternative activities at the community’s arts hub.
  • Oct 8: Weird Al @ JPJ
    Hands down one of the best shows you’ll ever see is Weird Al. Don’t scoff, it’s a rip-roaring show for all ages and the fun doesn’t stop.
