Catch Adam Evans of The Optimist at the "Muscle Shoals" Premiere on August 24

If you're looking for weekend plans, we recommend taking a road trip to The Shoals, Ala., an area comprised of Muscle Shoals, Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia along the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama. There, you'll find some hellacious music, art and down-home Southern culture. Need another reason to visit? This weekend from August 23-25, Billy Reid is hosting Shindig No. 5, a three-day event featuring live music performances and the movie premiere of "Muscle Shoals." VIPs attending the August 24 premiere should skip the popcorn and soda. Instead, save room for small plates from Adam Evans of The Optimist  and Josh Habiger, last year's Food & Wine "Best New Chef," and a couple of Bulleit Bourbon cocktails.
