TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The Bama Theatre will bring four of Alabama's best bands for the venue's Summer Shindig II in downtown Tuscaloosa on Friday, July 11.



Muscle Shoals' rockers Belle Adair and The Bear will join Tuscaloosa's own Looksy and Blaine Duncan & The Lookers for what the hosts consider the Alabama live music event of the summer at 6:30 p.m. that Friday.



The event is hosted by Druid City Brewing Company's Bob Baker and Tyler Marshall, both of whom hosts podcasts and plan other entertainment events in the area.



The show is for all ages. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with music starting around 7. It's sponsored by Druid City Brewing Company and Left Hand Soap Company.



Cost is just $5.



This marks the second year in a row The Bear and Blaine Duncan's band have played the still-young event, which Duncan and Bear guitarist/songwriter Nathan Pitts helped launch last year.



Duncan said last year that Pitts approached him asking if his band wanted to collaborate on a live summer show that didn't necessarily play in a bar, so the two approached Bama Theatre manager David Allgood about the Shindig idea, and off they went.



So now they bring another pair of talented bands in Looksy and Belle Adair, and Tusclaoosa's in for another special night of live music in the ideal setting of the historic Bama Theatre.
