This weekend’s live music from Breckenridge, Frisco & Summit County

Daily News staff reports
Archnemesis will grace the three20south stage for a free show tonight. Since its inception in 2009, the Archnemesis sound has been in a constant state of evolution. With musical beginnings firmly established through a strict regimen of classical training on the cello and piano, eventually jazz theory and composition crept in and more instruments such as bass, drums and guitar were discovered and learned. The culmination of this vast musical knowledge ultimately shaped the Archnemesis sound before propelling it through a variety of analog stratospheres and into the digital realm of electronic music production. Doors open at 9 p.m., and the music starts around 10. Visit www.three20south.com for more information.

Today

Bluegrass at The Barkley Ballroom

The Barkley Ballroom’s Bluegrass Wednesdays return with Tallgrass this week.

Brothers Adam and Austin Morford formed Tallgrass with Matt Skinner in May 2011, after the three friends played together for nearly a decade as members of the Jensen Connection and the Gglitch. Influenced by old-timey songs while digging through new-timey sounds, Tallgrass writes and performs homemade auditory originals.
