two for tuesday

For at least one week, Tuesday could be the new Saturday.

Bands will play free shows at two local hot spots tonight: Soho Bar & Grill and the Shanty Shack.

Soho hosts Echovalve, an Atlanta-based rock quartet. The party starts after the bar's open mic night, probably around 10:30 p.m. The club is at 5751 Milgen Road. Call 706-568-3316.

Local Southern rock act Whisky Bent takes the stage at the Shanty Shack, 4475 Warm Springs Road. The show starts at 9 p.m. Call 706-507-3418. Starting this week, the nightclub will have live music every Tuesday.

Both shows are open to partiers 21 and older.
