If you’re already counting down the days to December’s Wizard Rodeo, Rodeo Wizardry! is just the thing to tide you over. Out at Sam’s Town Point, a gathering of genre-stretching local acts brings the laid-back, magic-loving spirit of the one-day mini-fest to a springtime audience with performances by rock-blending songwriter Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards, country staple and Sam’s Town Point owner Ramsay Midwood, humor-loving indie rockers Big Bill, noisy experimentalists Water Damage, and more, plus appearances from some of the festival-crafting wizards themselves: bug-eyed cosmic country storyteller Garrett T. Capps and soft-spoken freak folks Little Mazarn. – Caroline Drew
