MUSIC recommended events
 
THE DILLARDS
Cactus Cafe, Friday, Jul 3

The Dillards and bluegrass music go together like “horse” and “buggy.” Brothers Rodney and Doug were among the first to electrify the heritage genre in the 1960s, relocating it to the Los Angeles scene where its presence influenced West Coast country-rock. Ever the innovators, the Dillards continue to refine bluegrass for modern times while holding fast to its Appalachian roots. 8pm. – Margaret Moser
INDIAN JEWELRY

Indian Jewelry’s slow-jam strobe explosion celebrates our nation’s independence with its own fireworks. The H-Town denizens headline this free bill, in honor of, ya know, freedom, with an inside/outside cast of characters, including Shapes Have Fangs, Caddywhompus, Cartright, Motel Aviv, and the Dead Space. Did we mention it’s free? – Audra Schroeder
