THINGS TO DO TONIGHT

Okay. If you're not going to the Mets/Cards game or seeing the Asylum Street Spankers at Joe's Pub...and you're not camping out on Governors Island on the sly...how about a free tribute to Johnny Cash at the Winter Garden of the World Financial Center at 8 pm?

The lineup includes BAT favorites Laura Cantrell, Marshall Crenshaw, and John Doe as well as David Bromberg, Jay Farrar, Hymns, Raul Midon, Ollabelle, The Persuasions, Catherine Russell, and Sway Machinery.

Here's video of Ollabelle, featuring guitarchiks Amy Helm (mandolin) and Fiona McBain (guitar). They're playing "Ain't No More Cane," which has also been performed by Amy's dad Levon.
