If you aren't heading out to the fireworks tonight, there should be some musical fireworks (see what I did there) on VH1 (on the TV or on their website) tonight as they broadcast the Fourth of July Jam from Philly live tonight starting at 8 PM. Philly's own, The Roots, put the show together and will perform. Other acts include Jill Scott (8:10 PM), Grace Potter (8:35), Hunter Hayes (9:15), J. Cole (9:30), John Mayer (9:50), and Ne-Yo (10:20).

Over at The Camel on Friday night, Southern Belles continue their First Fridays residency there. The Big Payback (James Brown tribute band) will be opening and they'll combine with the Belles to do a special Sly & The Family Stone set which should be funktastic.

Here's the Belles doing "Getaway" down in NC on their recent tour.
