Knife in the Water, Conrad Keely, The John-Pauls

Don’t call it a throwback, but Chess Club checks a lineup that will have ATX Gen Xers recalling 2000s-era Red River. Knife in the Water resurfaced their ambient waves when Aaron Blount reconvened the band for 2017’s Reproduction, the late Nineties outfit floating pensive, mellow rock tones that meditated in the same space as Bedhead and American Analog Set. Conrad Keely recently marked the 20th anniversary of …Trail of Dead’s seminal Source Tags & Codes before releasing XI: Bleed Here Now, but flies solo after the John-Pauls open, prepping sophomore LP Bon Mots with driving riffs that sound like a slowcore Television.

Night Cap, Angel White

Self-dubbed “the Ghost of the West,” Angel White’s intriguing musical identity is yet to be discoverable by the masses. With no tracks on streaming, the Dallas singer leaves fans yearning after dropping teasers of future soulful Western sounds and stark, stylistic imagery. Catch him live on Friday playing before smooth indie rock quartet Night Cap, whose appropriately titled latest single, “Sentimental,” exemplifies their shaped-by-emotions approach.

Shimmer Island (EP release), Daniel Fears, Chucky Blk

Chucky Blk is Austin’s musical poet of the people and Daniel Fears, with his rich and complex stylings, stands among the town’s most dynamic modern R&B vocalists. Friday’s come-together at Far Out, though, surrounds the release of Shimmer Island’s No Man Is an Island EP. It’s a five-song set of love-forward, healing-centric, softly sung, gentle folk-pop that sounds like it’s floating in space, but doesn’t ignore the challenges of life while looking for the light. Its best track, “Alone in Chicago,” pulls from the pain of singer Jeremy Roye putting his 8-year-old daughter on a one-way flight to France at the height of the pandemic “without knowing when or how I would see her again.” Subtly New Agey, Shimmer Island promises “chanting, dancing, and even meditation.”

Vortex Summer Youth Theatre: Mr. Burns

Anne Washburn's phantasmagorical story first reveals a group of survivors of a global catastrophe recalling and retelling the "Cape Feare" episode of The Simpsons around a fire, then moves seven years into the future, and then 70 years further – where cultural mythology has evolved into cult-like engagement and a grand, tribal musical. Performed by ensemble of youth and adult guest artists, directed by Jennifer Jennings for the Vortex.
