Smart readers of blogHOUSTON already know that David Cobb provides a great roundup of local rock music each week.
This week’s installment was posted yesterday.
I like to supplement his list with the alt-country/Americana/Texas music shows that I favor. Here are the shows that have caught my eye this week:
Thursday (October 14)
Geoff Spahr, Firehouse Saloon
Shawn Nelson, Continental Club
Tracie Lynn, Mucky Duck
Friday (October 15)
The Flametrick Subs (Los Skarnales open), Continental Club
Matt Powell Band (F-Co opens), Firehouse Saloon
Lucy Kaplansky, Mucky Duck
Mandy Smith Group, Live Sports Cafe (Happy Hour)
Saturday (October 16)
Tom Russell, Mucky Duck
Mark Miller, Firehouse Saloon
Hacienda Brothers (Mary McBride opens), Continental Club
Mandy Smith Group, Stag’s Head Pub
Montrose Beer and Gun Club Event (click Read More link), West Alabama Icehouse
I’m sure Blanco’s probably has some fine acts playing, but they don’t have a web presence and they don’t seem to care. Give ’em a call if you like the kind of music you see above, and as always, doublecheck with the venue before heading out to a show. Schedules do change, rapidly.
Montrose Beer and Gun Club
Fourth 1st Annual Cook-Off and Music Extravaganza
“An event to benefit kids who wish things were better”
Saturday, October 16, Noon to 7pm
West Alabama Icehouse
$5 admission
Band lineup: The MB&GC Jazz Band, Igneous Rock, Hilary Sloan, Miss Leslie and her Juke Jointers, and Opie Hendrix and the Texas Tallboys
Members of the blogHOUSTON crew will be attending this one. What better way to benefit the children than to drink beer and listen to music at the best Icehouse in Texas?
