Friday, July 6
What: Summer Movie Magic presents "Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho"
Where: The Historic Tennessee Theatre
When: 8 p.m.
How Much: $6-8
Preston's Take: Hitchcock's classic is one of the defining films of the thriller genre and the Tennessee is a great place to see it. Will also be playing Sunday at 2 p.m.
What: First Friday
Where: Downtown
When: 6 to 9 p.m.
How Much: Free
Preston's Take: The basis of First Friday can be broken down into three words: food, music and art. And in regards to all three, this free festival offers more than any one person could ever need. Not only do the sights, sounds and tastes delight anyone who comes to First Friday, but so does the chance to have a nice, chill and lively spot to hang out with friends in Knoxville's burgeoning Old City

Sunday, July 8
What: Miss Tess and the Talk Backs
Where: Boyd's Jig and Reel
When: 9 p.m.
How Much: Free
Preston's Take: Miss Tess is accompanied by a three-piece backing band that specializes in string jazz. Should be an interesting night of music.
