Playing with Fire, a longtime local non-profit blues concert series, is back for its 21st year July 25 and 26, with Weekend No. 1 of the non-profit organization’s annual free concert series. And this time, organizers promise more groove, grit and global flair than a midnight jam at Muscle Shoals. For the first time in 21 years, Playing with Fire is moving the party indoors to the Slowdown in Omaha’s popular NoDo entertainment district. That will offer concertgoers access to air conditioning, improved sound quality and further promotes a community atmosphere that represents Playing with Fire’s ongoing mission to make live, world-class music accessible to everyone through a free, community-centered concert series.
