The Austinot Weekend Concert Picks: May 12-14

May 11, 2017 by Bill Tucker Leave a Comment

Austin Weekend Concert Picks May 12

Mother’s Day is this weekend, and what better way to celebrate that wonderful woman than with three days of live, local music. From an eclectic artist celebrating a record release, to a bluegrass festival, there’s a sound for every ear. Enjoy the weekend. And as always, listen local!

Friday, May 12

Suzanna Choffel SXSW 2016

@ 3Ten Austin City Limits Live (310 W. Willie Nelson Blvd.)

Suzanna Choffel is an artist who defies classification. If her previous work is any indication, the record release show for her new album, “Hello, Goodbye,” should be a night of eclectic music. Choffel’s smokey alto is the centerpoint of a sound that ranges from bluesy country, to electronic pop, to upbeat rock and roll. Also performing are singer/songwriters Dan Dyer and Jonathan Terrel.

Whiskey Shivers at Farmgrass Fest

Farmgrass Fest w/Shinyribs, Whiskey Shivers, Hot Club of Cowtown, the Lost Pines, Sour Bridges, and more.

@ Simmons Family Farms (100 Simmons Family Farm Road, south of Niederwald, Texas)

Local legend Shinyribs leads an all-star cast of Austin’s finest pickers and players during this year’s Farmgrass Fest. Not only will you be enjoying a day of first rate country, roots, and bluegrass, but you’ll be supporting a nonprofit dedicated to supporting Central Texas farmers in times of emergency. Well worth the 45-minute drive southeast of downtown.

Brad Stivers Austin

@ Antone’s Records (2928 Guadalupe St. #101) – 3 p.m.

Unsure what to do with that dead spot between Mother’s Day brunch and dinner? Head over to Antone’s Records to check out some classic Americana and blues. Brad Stivers’ throaty vocals and soulful, tight guitar work harkens back to the glory days of Austin music, when blues reigned supreme. A classic way to spend your Mother’s Day.
