    Bernell Jones II Quartet

    Saxophonist/keyboardist Bernell Jones II hails from New York via Memphis, TN, and his music reflects a balance between those two locales: the Big Apple’s fabled jazz presence, and the innovative soul and Memphis’ beloved soul music. Mentored by veterans Greg Tardy and Vincent Herring, Jones plays with a lyrical style that’s made him a valuable hired gun for Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and the Philip Harper Quintet. Backed by the cream of ATX’s jazz scene, including bassist Ryan Hagler, drummer Daniel Dufour and rising keyboard star Dayne Reliford, Jones will no doubt preview his new EP Supernov-a, which drops the day after.

      Circle Jerks, 7 Seconds, Negative Approach [outside]

      Never let it be said that reunited Los Angeles hardcore pioneers Circle Jerks don’t go several extra miles for their fans. The original April 26th date was part of a rescheduled 2020 40th anniversary tour, curtailed by the pandemic. Then legendary lead howler Keith Morris contracted COVID himself. The entire springtime touring cast – Morris, guitarist Greg Hetson, bassist Zander Schloss, and Queens of the Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo, plus fellow Eighties HC vets 7 Seconds and Negative Approach – give Austin two makeup dates.
