Well, here&#8217;s a chance for some of the older members of that movement to dive for three days into Savannah&#8217;s most vibrant venues, to hear some of Savannah&#8217;s young acts at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hissinglawns.com\/2014\/03\/03\/savannah-stopover-2014-spotlight-label-showcases\/\" target=\"_blank\">local label showcases<\/a>, and to catch some of the top up-and-coming indie acts from Brooklyn, Nashville, Baltimore, and other cities. <\/p>\n<p>Hope to see a lot of my readers out this weekend at various venues. It&#8217;s a thrilling three days. <\/p>\n<p>The Weeks will be headlining Saturday&#8217;s free evening concert in Ellis Square.
