NIKKI TALOTTA: CAPITAL CITY GUITARS IS WHERE IT'S AT >>>

Hooray! It’s time for Spring Arts Walk in downtown Olympia! The bars are full, the art abundant, and my fave: Capital City Guitars has a tradition of hosting outstanding local musicians in front of the store. Hell Yeah! More head bangin’ and booty shakin’ in the streets! Capital City Guitars should be crowned number one bad-ass for participation. (Don’t be mad, Procession of the Species â€" you have your own category.) Throughout the last 13 years, this little guitar shop has held steadfast to providing a place for musicians to plug in, be loud and entertain the masses for free. Tonight headliners are the heavy Bacchus and old-school metal band, Christian Mistress â€" a relatively new Oly band getting hype for its ’80s metal vibe. For easier listeners, relatively speaking, Saturday’s lineup includes the Siderailers and Brian Feist Blues Band. See you there.

[Capital City Guitars, Bacchus, Christian Mistress, the Siderailers, Brian Feist Blues Band, others, April 24-25. 5 p.m., no cover, 108 Fourth Ave., Olympia, 360.956.7097]
