Davidson residents in the mood for arts will have plenty of things to do this weekend. There’s live music, from rock bands in taverns to Celtic music in churches, and even a slam poet zinging out wild words at the college.

Speaking of calendars, we have a full list of upcoming events below. Read the full story
