Check your own listings on your local PBS station of you’re outside of Austin. The ACL people have posted a time lapse video of the day’s taping. If ...

We’ve got your tickets! To win, you’ll have to humor me and leave a comment below containing ...

Hey, all! I’m super-excited to go see the “Farewell Seattle” show of Jupiter Crash (who are leaving town for brighter climes). Among other bands opening the show is a local metal/prog rockers Hills Of Elysium, who I’ve caught before and love (and I’m not all that in to metal).
Should be a good show, so I ...

A Fine Frenzy is the irresistibly adorable Alison Sudol, whom I had the pleasure of meeting about a year ago when she swung by my work. Her idiosyncratic sound is one part singer-songwriteress, one part stripped-down Tori Amos, one part Feist and one part you’re-so-cute-I-could-smack-you. She comes to the El Rey with Landon Pigg, whom ...

Each November I look forward to my grandmother’s cooking, trying to not die on Black Friday (I work in retail) and seeing Happy Apple play not one, but two fabulous post-Thanksgiving shows. It was becoming my own little holiday tradition.
I learned recently that the jazz trio will not be playing this Thanksgiving weekend. To make ...

his is a prop from the pre-show party at last night’s performance of La Bohème. We were also greeted by phony Parsian street-lamps, the spectacular and ever-changing view of downtown from the terrace, and a pianist and saxophonist playing jazzy music outdoors for all before the show and at intermission time.
For once, Musetta did not ...

For someone who doesn’t watch much TV–and it’s mostly sports or Spongebob when I do-I’ve sure managed to get introduced to a lot of great musicians from watching it. Case in point – Nashville native singer/songwriter Landon Pigg whose sweet, understated “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” was featured in a DeBeers commercial. ...

dirty projectors at neumo’s
The last time Dirty Projectors were in town I felt horrible about missing them, both because parts of their new record, Bitte Orca nearly caused me to trip over myself while listening to it on my morning commute and also because it was clear that the size of the venues they’d be ...
