FRIDAY, JUNE 22

The Darnell Boys

#What better way to start off AthFest weekend than by enjoying some damn fine fingerpickin’? You know it’s gonna be hot and sweaty out there; the good vibes—and the beer—will most undoubtedly be flowing by five o’clock. TDB’s earnest blend of old-timey country and blues is everything great about Athens’ glorious summers rolled into one scruffy family band. (Pulaski Street Stage, 5 p.m.)
