Lucy Dacus, Katie Gavin, jasmine.4.t
On her first album post-boygenius breakthrough, Lucy Dacus builds a tension of new love. Fourth LP Forever Is a Feeling plays like an interior monologue of daydreams and anxieties with a poetic intimacy of vivid moments that spark and linger, but cast bittersweetly in the tentativeness of love’s uncertainty. Dacus is determined to hold that raw feeling even while guarding against its dissolution, her understated midtempo musings wafting a sadness amid the intoxicated passion. Saddest Factory Records provides the opening support with MUNA’s Katie Gavin dishing solo debut What a Relief, and breakout UK songwriter jasmine.4.t. – Doug FreemanSat., May 10, 7pm -

Howlin' Blues Dance Party w/ Eastside Kings
Civil Goat Coffee on Guadalupe is quickly becoming more than just a cafe for the laptop-working local, thanks to the efforts of their events coordinator, Lindsey Schlatter. She has so far put on pop-up art shows with her Quarters endeavor – now, she’s venturing into pop-up concerts, like this blues party. Featuring free beginner blues dancing lessons by Neon Two-Step from 8-9pm, you’ll need neither a partner nor prior experience to get down to the dulcet tones of Austin classics the Eastside Kings, who play from 9-11pm. Civil Goat’s venue is somewhat perfect for dancing, with a large outdoor patio separate from the skinny bar inside. If you’re looking for a change of pace from the honky-tonks and indie shows for your Saturday night, this might well be it. – Lina FisherSat., May 10, 9pm. Free.Civil Goat, 3423 Guadalupe -

RAZZFEST w/ Kassa Overall, Quelle Chris, Blakchyl, e.artifact, Henry Solomon & Devin Daniels, J Soulja, Takoda, Mockjaw, FreeBloo&theFreak [garage]; Flobama, YoursTruuly, more [control room]
For the first time in a century – literally since the Roaring Twenties – the word “jazz” once again dances on the lips of youth. Today, that ranges from yacht rock to R&B, soul, and yes, even America’s classical music. Lebanese rapper Free Hamze operates Sahar Studios locally and here teams with L.A. indie jazz imprint Minaret Records. Beat sets, film screenings inside, and live riches include: one-stop Seattle drummer/producer/MC Kassa Overall, Detroit counterpart Quelle Chris, local mic slayers Blakchyl and J Soulja, sax duo Henry Solomon & Devin Daniels, and more. Emails Hamze: “[We’re] exploring the dichotomy between two genres that have a much deeper relationship than people seem to understand.” – Raoul HernandezSat., May 10, 6pm. $10 advance, $15 day of show (all ages). -

Gary Floyd retrospective w/ Jefferson Trout, Pocket FishRmen
A perennial Austin punk icon, Gary Floyd embodied glorious contradiction. A big-boned, openly gay Marxist fronting the ferocious, blues-based hardcore of the Dicks, Floyd’s howl and humor helped define the early scene. Following his passing last May at age 71, while hospitalized for congestive heart failure, a Gary-shaped hole gapes in the universe. Saturday, friends, fans, and admirers gather to celebrate the beloved provocateur with a retrospective art exhibit and musical performances from Pocket FishRmen and Jefferson Trout (featuring founding Dicks bassist Buxf Parrot). Expect tributes equal parts reverent and raucous, just as he’d have wanted. Proceeds benefit his widower. – Tim StegallSat., May 10, 6pm -

All-Night Vigil w/ Conspirare Symphonic Choir
According to historical document Wikipedia, Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff’s non-secular choral opus All-Night Vigil is notable for being one of only two liturgical settings composed by a non-churchgoer. As someone not that partial to pews myself, I can understand why Rachmaninoff nevertheless was enamored with the sacred. Grammy-winning chorus Conspirare delivers two renditions of the composer’s masterpiece at St. Martin’s, although be warned that Thursday’s showing has sold out. Those hoping to commune with a higher power through the choral arts are advised to secure a Saturday ticket. – James ScottSat., May 10, 8pm. Sold-out. -
