Yesterday’s featured Highlight, Old Soul, is on the phenomenal bill of this year’s Arootsacoostik Music Festival in New Sweden’s Thomas Park. They’ll be rubbing shoulders (and most likely joints) with acts like the Mallett Brothers Band, Dark Hollow Bottling Co., Line of Force, The Class Machine and, most exciting of all, a reunited Dead End Armory. Gates at 9 a.m., music at 10. Tix: $18. And tonight at Stone Mountain Arts Center (695 Dug Way Rd., Brownfield), soul and gospel legend Mavis Staples, keeper of some of the most powerful pipes on the planet, performs an “up close and personal” show at 8 p.m. Tix: $85 (all ages). 935-7292. stonemountainartscenter.com.
