Austin Blues Fest late show w/ Ally Venable, Gypsy Mitchell, Mathias Lattin
To kick off Austin Blues Festival’s Saturday and Sunday expansion at Waterloo Park (doubling the dates for their second year of relaunching the 1999-founded Antone’s Blues Festival), the club headquarters invites shades of blues guitars, guitars, guitars. No longer a teen sensation, Kilgore, Texas, shredder Ally Venable arrives after last year’s home-state-loving Buddy Guy duet “Texas Louisiana.” A Seventies gospel funk innovator as guitarist for the Relatives, Dallas native Gypsy Mitchell keeps his immaculately branded solo revival rolling with latest Paul Wall collab “I’m Still Standing.” Houston guitar phenom Mathias Lattin, who won last year’s International Blues Challenge at 20 years old, completes the next-gen sandwich. – Rachel RascoeThu., April 25, 8pm -

Austin Psych Fest kickoff w/ Golden Dawn Arkestra, Caramelo Haze, JaRon Marshall, Cazayoux, the Point
If a weekend’s worth of brain-melting Psych Fest debauchery at the Far Out Lounge isn’t enough to satisfy your reverb quota, get a head start at Thursday night’s pre-festival kickoff. Recent teasers from jazz fusion duo the Point, including rollicking instrumental “Máquina Pura,” are sure to please groove-hungry audiences. Intercontinental ninepiece Cazayoux excels in celestial Afrofunk, while neo-soul connoisseur JaRon Marshall meshes virtuosic swagger with quiet introspection. Post-cumbia supergroup Caramelo Haze is an obvious choice for the psychedelic pregame, and the fully immersive Golden Dawn Arkestra is a dream you won’t want to wake up from – until the next day, of course, when Psych Fest kicks into high gear.: – Genevieve WoodThu., April 25, 7:30pm -

Carver Museum: Two Births and the Afterlife
You think it’s easy, being somebody’s mother? You think giving birth to another human being doesn’t put your own humanity and purpose under some fierce self-scrutiny? Milwaukee-based artist Aimée M. Everett, in her solo show at the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center, uses abstraction, minimalist line-making, saturated colors, and melodic compositions to explore “the profound transformations experienced during childbirth and the subsequent journey of self-discovery into motherhood.” Word – or, more appropriately, image – to your mother. – Wayne Alan BrennerOpening reception: Thu., Jan. 11, 6-8pm -

Ex Voto
Albuquerque-based artist Beedallo utilizes bold colors and startling imagery in their paintings, many of which depict animals, humans, and religious figures in various states of distress. Their current show, “Ex Voto,” takes up the Recspec Gallery’s new Annex, created for “our artists to explore space and transform a simple shipping container into an entirely different dimension,” the gallery states. Within the container walls, Beedallo’s art digs into the urge to pray even without specific religious faith. “An Ex Voto is made as an offering to a saint or to God,” their artist’s statement reads. “This is often a work in the image of what needs to be fixed.” After the show’s opening date, it’ll run the next three Saturdays in April. – James ScottSat., March 30 -

Field Guide Festival
Plenty of food festivals will throw James Beard honorees and Top Chef alums at you, and Saturday’s Field Guide Festival is no exception; see: Edgar Rico (Nixta Taqueria), Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel (Birdie’s), Jo Chan (Bureau de Poste), and Amanda Turner (Olamaie), among others. But the guiding light of this three-year festival – to celebrate local farmers – is what elevates it from merely delicious to genuinely nourishing. Expect bites from more than 50 chef-farmer collabs, live music, live-fire demos, a vegetable omakase experience, and symposium conversations on sustainability and seasonality. – Kimberley JonesSat., April 20 -
