  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    Memorial for Margaret Moser

    “And I want you,” said Margaret cupping my hand in a San Antonio River Walk hotel in May, “to put together a Stones mix for the show.” Four months before Margaret left the building, my work spouse of more than two decades plotted out her music memorial to the note. Charlie Sexton and Monte Warden have mobilized her local music loves like one of her Austin Music Awards. Third playlist entry: “Saint of Me.”

    Wildflower Center: Luminations

    Winter is coming … and the Wildflower Center's even more beautiful because of it, as you stroll along the night-time paths and gardens with thousands of luminarias and other beautiful light displays among the landscaped flora, as you enjoy live music, maple taffy, and steaming cups of hot chocolate in the courtyard and the stars shine all big and bright in the vault, the vault, the vault of heaven. What a lovely escape from the urban grind!
    Dec. 7-10. Thu.-Sun., 6-9pm. $15 (free, ages four and younger).

    Randy Newman

    Randy Newman rarely makes studio albums anymore, August’s Dark Matter marking only his fourth LP in the past four decades. As Oscar-winning film soundtracks have become his primary focus, the 74-year-old pianist, singer, and composer has dedicated less time to the satiric wit and distinct narratives behind Seventies hallmarks including Sail Away and Little Criminals.: “I would have hoped to have done more,” he confesses. “It’s bad work habits. I think I should have done and could have done more. I’m glad that they’re good records, but when I don’t have to write, I don’t write. I’ve never liked to write. It’s sacrilege to say this in Austin, but I never have since I was a kid. I love having written stuff, but sitting there trying to think of stuff is a hard time for me.”: Still, Dark Matter arrives in a timely fashion for Newman’s acerbic pen, evidenced by sharp send-ups like “Putin” or a revision of his Monk theme, “It’s a Jungle Out There (V2).” Humor balances the emotional pull of “Lost Without You,” “Wandering Boy,” and the stunning stylistic complexities of “The Great Debate” and “Sonny Boy.”: “They’re never gonna love the guy who’s the comic, not in this field,” muses Newman of his more satirical work. “[Music] may not be a great medium for it. It isn’t the way to the country’s heart. I think this is probably the most popular that I’ve ever been, and there are younger people coming to the concerts, but I don’t think I’m that important – that if I weren’t out here it would be a big deal.: “It’s a bad time for the country,” he adds. “But it’s a good time for songwriters.”
