Weekend’s Best Bets

1 COUNTRY GIRL: Sissy Brown will perform a free show at 8 p.m. Friday at Boulder Dam Brewing Co., 453 Nevada Way. The classically trained honky tonk gal from Oklahoma got into the industry singing classical music in Europe, and then toured with a pair of rockabilly acts before heading out on her own. She now records with Dead Horse Productions and tours on her own, playing a classic country style, inspired by such greats as Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn and Waylon Jennings, but bursting with modern flare.

3 JINGLE BELLS: The Harmony Handbells will perform a Christmas concert at 3 p.m. Sunday at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 1399 San Felipe Drive. Under the direction of Bradley Hendricks, the 14-member handbell choir will perform a selection of sacred, traditional and contemporary holiday songs. The event is hosted by St. Andrew’s as well as Boulder City United Methodist Church. There is no charge to attend, but donations will be collected.
