Best Bets for Aug. 26 – Aug. 28 | THE BAINBRIDGE BLAB

Outdoor cinema, hazy folk singers and one talented "outlaw."

People who like McFarland, USA, the outdoor movie playing at Battle Point Park on Friday, also like the Million Dollar Arm, Secretariat and The Help, according to Rotten Tomatoes. The Help is the odd one out, but the common ground is the against-the-odds story. Show up around 8 p.m. to pick your plot. The film begins at dusk.

How many folk singers does it take to change a light bulb? One to change it and five to sing about how good the old one was… Friday, Space Craft will have just two in the house, so hopefully things don’t get out of hand when Little Wings (Kyle Field) and Lee Baggett show up at 8 p.m. $12 now; $15 in advance.

When he was a young man – about 21 years old, y’all – all he wanted was a stripper girlfriend and a gold top Les Paul. With that kind of intro, you know Ray Wylie Hubbard’s two shows at Treehouse Café will be colorful. At 69, he’s no less interesting. Get your fill of outlaw country 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. $26 a seat; $40 a seat at a table.
