Black Violin ft. Abraham Alexander

The Grammy-nominated musical duo of Kev Marcus and Wil Baptiste grew up learning classical music at school, but studying artists like Tupac and Wu-Tang Clan after hours. Lending strings to Alicia Keys’ “Karma” at the 2004 Billboard Awards (long before her Super Bowl pop-up last weekend) kicked off collaborations with 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, and more for the Fort Lauderdale, Florida-launched project. Alongside Marcus’ violin and Baptiste’s viola/vocals, Black Violin’s current tour works in drums, a DJ, keys, and special guest Abraham Alexander, a Fort Worth singer-songwriter who played ACL Fest last year. – Rachel Rascoe

Come early to snag a killer po’boy and a brew or brewski from Cherrywood, and email any questions to GoblinGuildATX@gmail.com. : – Kat McNevins

Scott Guild’s Plastic

A UT-Austin New Writers Project alum, Scott Guild returns to town on the occasion of his debut novel, Plastic, set in a comedy-ish dystopian world of non-human figurines. If the book’s unpacking of both the climate crisis and gun violence isn’t ambitious enough, the author also tees up an accompanying album out in April. Pulling from Guild’s musical past as the bandleader of New Collisions, pop tracks will tell the story of plastic protagonist Erin James with real-life production by Peter Katis (the National, Sharon Van Etten). This free event pairs Guild in conversation with the award-winning writer and UT professor Elizabeth McCracken. – Rachel Rascoe

UT Basketball vs. Kansas State

For what has been an otherwise middling season, the men’s squad is coming off a decisive – perhaps revenge-driven? – win over West Virginia. That’s good, because they need those victories as the regular season nears its end with a bruising schedule between now and the month of madness that follows. Regardless of the quality of play, home games at the Moody – and make sure you go to the right Moody – are always entertaining with music, performance, and, if you’re lucky, baby races. – James Renovitch
