ADAM MCKINNEY: URBAN ARTS FESTIVAL BENEFIT TONIGHT >>>

You love Tacoma. You’re fooling no one.  And, though you may be wallowing in denial, it would be more than a little unappreciative for you to not give back to the city that so readily accepts your scorn.

Tonight, The Swiss is hosting a benefit show for the Urban Arts Festival, an organization that’s working hard to make Tacoma a little cooler. There’s going to be plenty of bands and beer, and it’s only 5 dollars.

Lucky you.

[The Swiss, with Jr. Hill Band, Ten Miles of Bad Road, Blame It on the Girl, evergreenOne, the Gullywhumpers, 10th & Commerce, Sunday, July 19, 7 p.m., $5, 1904 Jefferson Ave., Tacoma, 253.572.2821]
