First Friday is once again upon us, and there are tons of great options for live music this month.  There are also tons of great food options downtown so why not combine the two and head over to Jay’s Restaurant on 6th Street.  Puzzle of Light will be performing at 9pm so you can do a late dinner (reservations recommended) or just enjoy desert or something from the bar and some tunes.  Puzzle of Light will be joined by guest artist Laylia, a local dancer.
