    Austin Corn Lovers Fiesta w/ the Beaumonts, the Krayolas, Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country, Hamell on Trial, Chris Conde, Hickoids & Frontier Dan, Jefferson Trout, Harvey McLaughlin, Witchcryer, Mean Motor Scooter, Kathy McCarty, Pocket Fishrmen, & more

    It’s that time of year. People the world over descend upon Austin, celebrating music and fellowship, gathering in one spot to hear some of the finest rock & roll bands in the land and have a good time. Indeed, it’s time once again for ACL … Austin Corn Lovers Fiesta.: Begun 12 years ago by Hickoids/Saustex Media main man Jeff Smith to obviously cock a snoot at a certain other mammoth event bearing the same initials, this’ll be the first in-the-flesh manifestation of the Fiesta since we all entered COVID World (Smitty bravely organized a two-day streaming version for 2020). This year, the Corn Lovers Fiesta descends upon South Austin showgrounds Sagebrush for a one day blowout, timed to not interfere with the March for Women’s Reproductive Rights at the State Capitol, protesting Texas’ new abortion laws that openly flip a middle-finger to Roe v. Wade. Alternating across the Sagebrush’s dual outdoor stages, though performances may move inside in case of thunderstorms, will be many of the usual suspects, plus some new faces: hilarious political punk/hard rockers Pocket FishRmen, viciously satirical outlaw country outfit the Beaumonts, Glass Eye heroine Kathy McCarty, San Antonio power-pop vets the Krayolas, acoustic thrash folk poet Hamell On Trial, and the almighty Hickoids themselves, teaming with Arkansan singer Frontier Dan. This is the way to begin autumn.

    ¡Se Ha Dicho! Opening Reception

    ¡Se Ha Dicho! is an exhibit exploring the power of words in art and the everyday lives of Hispanic and Latinx communities, whether emulating the rallying speech of a community organizer, the soothing rhythm of a lullaby shared from mother to daughter, or an astute connection scribbled in the margins of a book.

    Lady MacBeth & Her Pal, Megan

    Comedian Megan Gogerty, in the midst of a midlife crisis, exhausted by the sometimes brutal world of standup comedy and feeling the sting of her 40th birthday, attempts to convince the world that she could play Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare’s iconic villain. Silly, theatrical, and complex, this one-woman show from Shrewd Productions attempts to answer the question, "What’s it like to be a stand-up comedian?" Spoiler: it’s murder. Bonus: Starring Eva McQuade, who recently put such body and sole into her role as the Vortex's own Tia Chancla.
    Through Oct. 2. Thu.-Sat., 8pm. $15 and up.

    Opera for Earth: Macbeth in Concert

    Celebrate the spookiest month with a semi-staged and condensed version of Verdi’s Macbeth, from your friends at Opera for Earth. The show's got drama from beginning to end and the story is narrated in English so all can easily understand, but – do you dare to enter the cunning and suspenseful world of these ill-fated Scots and descend, with the whole bloodstained family, into madness? Bonus: Soothe your nerves with a cocktail from Still Austin Whiskey.

    TEMP: Mirie It Is!

    For their first in-person concert since February, 2020, that Daniel Johnson and his Texas Early Music Project are presenting music from really olde England – from, that is, the 12th century up to the end of the early Renaissance (around 1450).There are only a few Middle English songs from before 1350 that have remained intact until now, and TEMP is performing eight of them. Guests Christopher LeCluyse (tenor), Ryland Angel (tenor and countertenor), and Mary Springfels (vielle and citole) are accompanied by ten singers and four instrumentalists.This welcome-back concert has the single lines of Medieval repertoire, the rich harmonies of the contenance angloise, and a couple of delightful Medieval English dances as well.Also: Period instruments, timeless voices, and our highest recommendation.
    Oct. 2-3. Sat., 7:30pm; Sun., 3pm. $25-30 ($5, students at-the-door).

    The Girlie Revue: DOMINATRIX

    Here's "a visual journey of revelation, storytelling, and power in high style," held within the Tiger Den, a "secret and intimate chamber transporting you into a world of sensory opulence." Here are six exhibitions exploring the various aspects and elements of She Who Must Be Obeyed — from compassion and cruelty to seduction and phantasmagoria – with portraits of power and prowess, calculation and imagination. Note: You're invited (if not commanded) to attend this darkling provocation in fetish or bondage gear. At the very least, pretty one, do put on some shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather.
