"Music is a big part of the vitality of Arts Walk," says City of Olympia Arts and Events Program Manager Stephanie Johnson. And she's right. Olympia loves to musically participate in Arts Walk. Every venue has a lineup this weekend, like the Hard Way with Glass Elevator and Fight for Change at Le Voyeur Friday, and the Blackberry Bushes, the Tilted Stilts and the Oly Mountain Boys at The Eastside Club Saturday. Also on Saturday, Northern welcomes Eleanor Murray, Camp Wisdom, Bob Schwenkler and Sunshine & Irony. Even places that aren't designated venues tear it up, like Phantom City Records, where Milk Music and Brilliant Colors will be rocking records off the shelf. "It's going to be cool, there's so many people going downtown," says Ben Trodgon, who booked the Phantom show. Oldschool Pizzeria, whose "stage" is their parking lot, has an entire weekend of rock planned, including legendary band Chief on Friday night. Brown Edition will be at 4th Ave. Tavern Saturday night.

And if you want to go outside the rock box, there's tons of Gypsy jazz, reggae, traditional, folk and Experimental Youth Harp on the tasty music menu Arts Walk XLII has prepared.
