UN DÍA 

Thursday 30, C-Boy’s Heart & Soul

A melting pot of artists from Austin’s music scene converge on South Congress for this annual event benefiting PAWliska Rescue and Reunite. Musicians set to play two songs apiece include AJ Vallejo, Chief Cleopatra, Eve Monsees, Nagavalli, and Tee Double.

Benny the Butcher 

Thursday 30, Empire Garage

Benny the Butcher made some headlines earlier this month when he spoke negatively about the growing influence of so-called nerds within hip-hop. The Buffalo native certainly does his part to represent the streets in his music with gritty beat selection and hustle-oriented lyrics. But the Griselda affiliate doesn’t live entirely offline. On “I AM THE PROGRAM,” off 2025 EP Excelsior, he responds to a meme questioning his ability to maneuver in Buffalo’s snowy winters: “I really did it, I stood on that strip, lips chapped and dry.”

Gary Lindsey and the Pleasure Tide 

Saturday 1, the Lost Well
