Boots, relaxed-fit jeans and flower dresses are the vibe around them because their music makes you want to stomp and listen. This show promises an intimate evening with this duo, so we may see another side of Tuttle and Secor as they perform their hits and works from Tuttle’s latest album. A night of well-rosined bows and fast-picking strings with a signature Americana twang awaits. [SC] 8pm Saturday, May 2. Golden State Theatre, 417 Alvarado St., Monterey. $45-$220. (831) 649-1070, mollytuttlemusic.com. Saturday, May 2- Sunday, May 3 OLDEN DAYS RULE Pacific Grove has seen a lot of change in the past few years, but one thing that always remains is the fun that happens at Good Old Days. The street festival is back for its 67th go-around with the same street festival feel, music and carnival rides. The fire department will be busy that day too—not because of emergencies (we hope) but putting on the Kids Firefighter Challenge. Hungry attendees can join the Kiwanis Club for a pancake breakfast and stick around for a parade by the P.G. Rotary Club. [SC] 9am-6pm Saturday, May 2; 9am-5pm Sunday, May 3. Lighthouse Avenue, Pacific Grove. Free. (831) 373-3304, tinyurl.com/ GoodOlddDays. Sunday, May 3 HAWK EYES Poet Robinson Jeffers’ Tor House and Hawk Tower are iconic landmarks of not just Carmel, but the state. Tours of the property are offered year-round, but those are extra special when the Tor House Foundation throws its annual Garden Party. Stroll through the gardens while enjoying live music, including a bagpiper at the top of Hawk Tower, and check out yarn being spun on a wheel brought here from Ireland in 1847. It’s also the only time of the year where you’re allowed to take photos, so get your camera ready. [EC] 2-5pm Sunday, May 3. Tor House, 26304 Ocean View Ave., Carmel. $30/general, $15/ students. (831) 624-1813, torhouse.org.
