If you've never gone to the Beale Street Music Festival (Memphis, TN) then you need to drop what you're doing this May and check it out. For 3 days (and $60) you get to see the following bands. It's only 8-9 hours away, it's cheap, it's Memphis and it's well worth it. I suggest you go. I'm 90% sure I'll be making the trip this year and I can't wait.
