Austin Music Volume 9 Released!
Last night a release party went down for the 9th iteration of the Austin Music Office’s Austin Music CD. The only compilation of its scale, the disc is designed to increase awareness of and promote the city’s local music scene nationally. It also includes a bonus mini-guide to Austin with maps, club listings, a calendar…
Lips of an Angel – Grounded in Music Benefit
I am a sucker for Jack Ingram. Not so much the man himself, but the voice … well, maybe just Lips of an Angel, because I like it when Hinder sang it too (although I never understood how they both released it at the same time, and the two don’t sound very different). ANYWAY, the…
I Don’t Know Jack About Music
Remember that early ’90s computer game “You Don’t Know Jack About Sports!” where you had to answer trivia or the game yelled at you? And then it spiraled into other “You Don’t Know Jack About ____” bananas, coffee, snowballs. Whatever. I don’t claim to be a music critic, or even afficionado (except when it comes…
Last Minute: This Afternoon, you don’t wanna miss…
… Concierto Bajo Las Estrellas, 5-10pm tonight at The Long Center for the Performing Arts’ City Terrace As a sometimes Spanish speaker (as in, I can speak the Spanish but don’t very often), I get excited when I read things in Spanish. Even when they’re as simple as “Concert Under the Stars,” KAKW Univision 62’s…
Austin Music Foundation HEAR AND NOW Fundraiser
“Hi Austin. This is a strange time for those of us who make music. While anyone can make a record with a laptop and learn to play by watching lessons on YouTube, more than half of American teenagers have never paid for music and cannot be convinced why anyone would. What will happen next? Will…

Free Live Music at Jo’s on Second
Jo’s Coffee is hosting its first-ever summer music series at the Second Street location–which we all know is home to the best veggie sandwich in the entire world. Every Tuesday and Thursday all summer long, live music will rock from the patio, while inside there’ll be deals like burger slider specials and $2 tallboys on…
All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies … or Sirens N’ Boots Wednesday Night
Pardon the Beyonce reference, as Sirens N’Boots just sounds smokin’ hot, right, like a burlesque show in cowboy boots, like Southern songstresses ready to kick ass while lookin’ good? I mean, that’s what I’m like every night. Anyway, tomorrow night a three-piece all-girl group of singer-songwriters is eschewing their individual reps to form an act…
Fastball + Black and White Years in the park
The last of the Solar-Powered Concert Series in Republic Square Park is tomorrow night, and the TBA closer is Fastball–yep, middle school/high school hotties Fastball, of You’re an Ocean, Out of My Head, and other gems, will be playing. With the Black & White Years, an Austin-based band that has tons of local acumen and…
