If you're looking for live music today, The Celtic Cowboy has an all-acoustic afternoon, and you're part of the show if you want to be. Local musicians play a traditional Irish seisun today from 2 to 5 p.m. Anyone can play or just sing along, and nobody's sure who'll show up. Sounds like our kind of surprise.
