PCJ Mon Mar 2: Dead of Winter, Warmed by the Music 🌊🎶
A Grateful Dead tribute for a cause + open mics
Wilmington’s live music scene is rolling into March with heart and harmony. This Friday, the Dead of Winter Concert returns to Bowstring Bar & Music Venue, bringing the sounds of the Grateful Dead to downtown for a good cause. Hosted by Plastic Ocean Project, this pay-what-you-can show features Shakedown Citi and supports local environmental efforts.
Plus, if you’re looking to grab the mic yourself, there’s no shortage of open mics this week — from Mad Katz to Barzarre and Music Mondays at Wilmington Distillery.
