Danny Malone
There hasn’t been a full-length offering from local heartbreaker Danny Malone since 2009’s collection of backyard folk strummings, Cuddlebug. Prepping spring LP Balloons, Malone recently reappeared in the Downtown rotation with new cuts in his arsenal. It’s unclear whether he’ll bring along his back-up dancers to the fashionable W “Living Room,” but the hotel’s veneer will serve as a lovely foil to Malone’s raw intimacy. – Abby Johnston

Eighth Blackbird: Shifted During Flight

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
