The Bruce & Kelly Show

Earlier this year, Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis took over the Continental Club Gallery on Thursdays. Along with a crack band, the husband and wife team put on what I thought was the best local act I’ve seen so far this year. Great songs from both their catalogs, some new tunes, and a couple of wisely chosen covers combined for a knock-out set.

MEOW Discoveries 2012

My favorite South by Southwest moments always seem to involve the Badge and “the Reveal,” as reality shows are so fond of saying. For this one, late Nineties, I was standing on the street scanning badges when my eyes stopped on Carla DiSantis. You mean Rockrgrl magazine maven? Seattle savior of women’s rock? Yes m'am!

Bonnie Raitt & Mavis Staples: Americana Soul

Americana music is so dominated by men that last night’s Austin City Limits taping featuring Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples was as refreshing as it was celebratory. The range of styles and deep-seated emotions made it memorable, but also demonstrated why both women have been revered for so long.

Get Real. Get Right. Get Savage: The Return of Barrence Whitfield

Barrence Whitfield & the Savages' visits to Austin in the Nineties are things of local legend. Wild, crazy nights of pure rock & soul abandon. Whitfield's reunited with the heart of the original band and returns to the Continental Club on Friday and Saturday nights, with Houston bluesman Little Joe Washington opening the latter show.

Southern Lord Tour

Timmy Hefner laid on me a perfect wedding present: Church of Misery headlining Chaos in Tejas at the onset of June. Five days later, my would-be spouse and I caught the Japanese doom merchants in San Francisco, which resulted in us getting our marriage license there. So when the local booker mentioned Thursday's Southern Lord bill at Red 7, I paid heed.

The Eastern Sea Unleashes ‘Plague’

The line for Stubb’s inside stage on Friday night snaked all the way down the block and threatened to turn the corner. Was the mainstay Red River venue hosting a concert on the outdoor stage? Nope. It was the Eastern Sea's CD release show. And as it both appeared and later turned out, it also doubled as the locals' first sold-out performance.

Rodney Crowell Returns

When the right words and music meet, they take us places we never want to leave. And we won’t, because we then carry the songs within us. Writing books, Rodney Crowell will agree, is different. This Friday, June 29, 5pm, he reads from his memoir Chinaberry Sidewalks at Waterloo Records in advance of his Paramount Theatre appearance Saturday.
