Santiago Jiménez Jr.
For decades, sending Christmas tamales from here to my San Antonian mother in the Bay Area proved Grinchian: nearly insurmountable. Word is this conjunto summit from Santiago Jiménez Jr. at Austin’s Home of the Blues will host some Mexican masa as the Alamo City’s National Heritage Fellow and National Medal of Arts accordionist squeezes out a holiday miracle or two. As older hermano Flaco slows somewhat at 83, his younger brother by five years accelerated this year, releasing Tex-Mex feast Still Kickin’ on Jesse Dayton’s imprint Headcharger Records in May. Gift this second annual Blue Christmas dance party to your favorite hoofers.Sun., Dec. 25, 8pm -
