Carrie Rodriguez
Austin native Carrie Rodriguez follows up both Lucinda Williams and the Flatlanders on the Paramount stage for the release of fifth solo disc Give Me All You Got. She describes herself as a reluctant songwriter, but her latest speaks candidly about love, loss, and whiskey with sweetly earnest vocals and fiddle prowess worthy of the finest Texas dance hall. San Antonio songstress Nicolette Good supports with her own folk tunes, fleshed out by locals Jesse Ebaugh (Heartless Bastards) and Jonathan Doyle (White Ghost Shivers). – Cara Tillman

Fronterafest 2013: Best of the Fest!
Fronterafest's all over for another year, people, except for this Short Fringe: Best of the Fest part –and I'm glad to tell you that any night of this line-up is worth seeing, because you'll laugh, you might cry, you will be extremely fucking entertained at all times. [Full disclosure: I helped decide which shows got to be presented again this week.] And "Austin's Best Monologist" – it's true! – Steven Tomlinson debuts his new "How to Use Evernote" piece in the Wild Card Bill. You'd best hurry, though, because these nights (and one matinee) of no-fail theatrical enjoyment are selling out so fast you'd think they were Tim Doyle prints or something! See website for full schedule details. Wed.-Sat., Feb. 14-16, 8pm.
Hyde Park Theatre, 511 W. 43rd, 512/479-7529
