Darryl is totally stoked that this guy is coming to town.Quite a variety of musical happenings this weekend; and it's a nice mix of national and local fare.
First the shows already covered in print or in the blog:
Jesse did a nice job hipping you to tonight's Chalie Louvin/AM Ramblers show in Fort Worth. I initially and erroneously told you about Richard Lloyd's Wednesday performance at Dada that turns out to be tonight. And we gave away some tickets to tonight's Eleven Hundred Springs show, a
Well, it's that time of year again, I guess, where (mostly) unknown acts take to the Internet in competition to try and snag the final spot at this year's ACL Fest in the annual battle known as The Sound and The Jury. By my count, three locals have made it to the final 20 in the voting competition: Denton popster Andrew Tinker, Dallas rockers Air Review and some oddball pop tart named Erin Austin who purports her home to be New York, San Francisco and Denton all at once, curiously enough. Vot
Erin Austin and Andrew Tinker's Band headed down to Austin last night. For the past few weeks, we've been following the efforts of various DFW area artists trying to scam their way into the final slot at this weekend's Austin City Limits Music Festival via the annual competition called The Sound and The Jury.

(How's that for a visual?)Anyway, let's just jump right in. First, as always, the shows we've already talked up...Tonight's kicking off the weekend in a pretty huge way, thanks to a Palladium
Big news to report this early afternoon on the new KERA-owned all-music station coming to your 91.7 FM frequency, oh, two weeks from today--and, of course, Robert somehow beat me to posting it, the jerk.But while he focuses on the new hosts at the new station--KERA's own Gini Mascorro will handle the morning show and a Friday "KXT Texas Mix" (whatever that is); Joe Kozera, formerly of Bridgeport's KBOC-FM, will handle the afternoon and evening slots; Paul Slavens, meanwhile, jumps down your r
I've got a few issues with KXT-FM (91.7) -- chief among 'em, the KERA offshoot boasts the smallest play list in the history of broadcasting. And what in the what is up with all the mysterious blackouts? But, I know, growing pains and patience ... got it.For now, then, I'll forgive the Matisyahu fetish and focus on the extraordinarily positive: I just noticed that KXT has been posting to its YouTube channel all of its in-studio performances, including ones from Danny Balis, Sarah Jaffe, Andrew Ti
