ABN: Z-Ro, Trae the Truth
Houston rappers Z-Ro and Trae the Truth are brothers in arms, cousins in blood. Both tenured and revered for streetwise solo releases, including Trae’s 2011 Street King hustle and Z-Ro’s 2006 epic I’m Still Livin’, the two also boast a wealth of collaborative material. In 2003, the Bayou City boys built Assholes by Nature (ABN) and dropped two albums: 2003’s eponymous LP and 2008’s It Is What It Is. – Chase Hoffberger
Emo's, 2015 Riverside
Allen Toussaint
Few musicians remain so thoroughly synonymous with the music of New Orleans as Allen Toussaint, 73. Composer, arranger, producer, pianist, accompanist, and occasional singer, Toussaint put his indelible stamp on dozens of hit songs that helped define the Crescent City sound. His influence now reaches far beyond the Gulf Coast, the ivory trader having worked with Sir Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, and countless others. His stature as a living legend is second to none. Two shows, 7 & 9:15pm – Jay Trachtenberg
