Jeremy Tepper shares his collection of vintage honky-tonk and trucker songs Mondays at Union Pool. Expect George, Merle, and the brilliantly bitter pre–“Take This Job and Shove It” Johnny Paycheck. For free live country in the same old-school spirit, try Hank’s Saloon’s raucous Sunday-night parties, with Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers. Feeling brave? Food’s on the house, barbecued outside on a gritty street corner.
