Austinot Weekend Concert Picks January 10 2020

Happy New Year! Hope your holiday season was filled with fun, family, or a pleasant combination of the two. While I was recovering from the yuletide madness, Free Week happened! Hope everyone got a chance to check out an amazing show or three.

This week, we recommend bouncy late ’90s rock, psychedelic grunge, and exceptional power punk in the style of Sailor Poon. Enjoy the weekend; continue to be awesome; and listen local!

This time around, we recommend upbeat synth-pop, a soulful crooner, and music at Austin’s favorite holiday shopping experience.

I’ll be taking next week off, so Happy Holidays; enjoy the weekend; and listen local!

Austin Musicians Granted $250,000 at 2019 Black Fret Ball

Music is the lifeblood of Austin. Anyone who tells you different hasn’t spent a Saturday night on Red River or discovered a random artist during SXSW. On any given night, there are 100 shows to choose from in the greater Austin area. Music is a piece of who we are.

But the vein is starting to clot. Rising cost of living, higher venue rent, and dozens of entertainment options force world-class artists to stagnate.

Enter Black Fret, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, both financial and practical, to Austin musicians. On Dec. 7, 2019, during the annual Black Fret Ball gala, the group awarded $250,000 to 19 local artists. It was an evening of heart, community, and giving.

The Far Out Lounge & Stage Is South Austin’s Groovy New Music Hub

South Austin has a new hub for local music and fun at The Far Out Lounge & Stage. When I first saw the groovy, ’70s-style signage and marquee announcing live music at the familiar brick building in far south Austin, I immediately made a U-turn and rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn’t imagining things.

It’s real! It’s really happening! The Far Out seemingly sprung up overnight at “the old Red Shed,” as south Austinites have called it since the dive bar shuttered last year. After the venue’s brief stint as Nicolaza’s, owners Pedro Carvalho and Bae Anthon hired booking agent and Austin music scene insider Lawrence Boone.

With Boone on board, Carvalho and Anthon set their sights on music and reinvented the space as The Far Out. If the crowds are any indication, they made the right call. South Austin was ready for a new groove.

Happy Halloween, awesome Austinites! While this weekend may be earmarked for costume parties and keeping Trick or Treat candy away from the kiddos, consider penciling in a bit of live music on your calendar.

This weekend, we recommend tight, catchy alternative rock, over a dozen artists at a major sporting event, and another Eberly Sunset Session for your Sunday Funday. Enjoy the weekend and always listen local!
