Birmingham is on a hot streak. Last week saw March Madness celebrations overlapping with St. Patrick’s Day marches. Restaurants and bars around the city were packed out, but still providing absolutely incredible experiences over delicious food and beverage. The winning streak continues in the Magic City this week, as musicians once again steal the spotlight for what is bound to be an eventful next few days. Here are some of the shows we are most looking forward to.

Me and My Knife, Boss Rush, and Sugarplums are joining forces for a spectacular Wednesday night show that highlights the Birmingham music scene along with the touring act.
