MUSIC recommended events BOBBY BLUE BLAND, BARBARA LYNNAntone's, Sunday, Nov 8 East Texas blues doesn’t get more real than this. From Beaumont comes the gutsy, swamp-tinged blues of singer-guitarist Barbara Lynn, sure to tell you “Don’t Lose a Good Thing.” From Houston, Bobby Blue Bland, crown jewel in the Duke label, exhorts “Turn on Your Love Light” with his mighty vocals. Both were early-days Antone’s highlights, so if you didn’t get to the club for Clifford’s birthday, here’s your chance to get the blues in classic style. – Margaret Moser Now in its fourth year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has gone from a one-day experiment to a two-day mid-fall respite between ACL and SXSW. This year, the heavy OGs (Danzig, the Jesus Lizard) mix with the old (D.R.I.), the new (Kid Sister), the borrowed (Metallagher), and the blue (Destroyer). You can also get “vert” on a skate ramp, screenprint a bandana, chow down at local favorites like Frank and the Parlor, then get on the mechanical bull and see what happens. See our preview for the interviews, reviews, and more capital F fun. – Audra Schroeder See all of today's Music listings COMMUNITY recommended events
