FRIDAY, FEB. 26, 2010 >>>

1. There's beauty in simplicity - the Presidents of the U.S.A. proved it. Think "Peaches," and "Lump." These days, among other things, Chris Ballew of the Presidents spends his time going by Caspar Babypants - dishing out goofy kids' music for ages 2-5. This morning at 10:30 a.m. he'll hit the Moore Library.

2. Tacoma's biggest city-wide talent show SHOWTIME @ THE DASH CENTER begins at 7:30 p.m. inside the Mt. Tahoma High School.

3. Sheer Virtuosity: A Jacobsen Concert for All Music Lovers will feature Johannes Brahms' Sonata #2 in A Major for Piano and Violin; Evan Chambers' The Firehose Reel; selections from Pablo de Sarasate's Spanish Dances; George Frideric Handel's Sonata IV in D major for Violin and Harpsichord; and Moritz Moszkowski's Suite for Two Violins and Piano at 7:30 p.m. inside Schneebeck Concert Hall at UPS.

4. I Defy, Koz Of Konfusion, Machina Mageddon and Thee Punch Drunks rock Malarkey's Pool and Brew beginning at 8 p.m.

5. Janiva Magness sings the blues at 8 p.m. inside Jazzbones.
