Now that the primary election is over and you did your civic duty \u2014\u00a0you did vote, didn\u2019t you? \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s shaping up to be a great week to experience live music in Taco Town. Let\u2019s check out the options. <\/p>\n
Wednesday, March 4<\/p>\n
Julie Doiron, Little Mazarn<\/p>\n
Canadian songwriter Julie Doiron sings deeply affecting indie-folk with weighty tinges and thought-provoking lyrics. She\u2019s also carved out an impressive career in underground and indie music, fronting Eric\u2019s Trip, the first Canadian band to be signed to Sub Pop, before launching a solo career overflowing with gorgeous albums. She\u2019s also collaborated with Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie, Microphones), Okkervil River and more. Opener Little Mazarn also could be classified as \u201cfolk,\u201d but the Austin group\u2019s magic transcends simple genres, weaving an intoxicating stillness and space. $40, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014Bill Baird<\/p>\n
North Mississippi All Stars<\/p>\n
North Mississippi All Stars have been cranking out real-deal Southern Blues for decades now. Founded by Luther and Cody Dickinson \u2014\u00a0sons of legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson \u2014\u00a0the band has topped the Billboard charts, been nominated for Grammys, and collaborated with some of the biggest names in the game: Lucinda Williams, the Black Crowes and more. $41, 8 p.m., Sam\u2019s Burger Joint, 330 E. Grayson St., (210) 223-2830, samsburgerjoint.com. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n
Thursday, March 5<\/p>\n
Pat Metheny and Side-Eye<\/p>\n
Pat Metheny is a guitar monster, just one that largely shreds in the jazz idiom instead of rock. Some fans may be drawn to his more intense straight-jazz soloing, others his journeys into abstraction and yet others into his lyrical and accessible work that draws from funk, pop and world music. (And we\u2019re not even mentioning Metheny\u2019s classical music dalliances here.) This is, after all, a guy who\u2019s won 20 Grammy Awards in 12 different categories. Should be interesting what the maestro has in mind for his SA gig with Side-Eye, a group comprised of some of NYC\u2019s finest jazz up-and-comers. $76, 7:30 p.m., Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, 226 N St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 226-5700, majesticempire.com.\u00a0\u2014 Sanford Nowlin<\/p>\n
Friday, March 6<\/p>\n
Lucero, Otis Gibbs<\/p>\n
Memphis-based alt-country outfit Lucero has been grinding it out for nearly 30 years, so it stands to reason it\u2019s got some albums celebrating special anniversaries. Namely, the band will celebrate the 20th birthday of the album Nobody\u2019s Darlings with a complete run-through. Best known for a Southern-inspired take on alt-rock with punk and soul influences, it\u2019s a good bet Lucero will bring the heat. $33.43-$44.68, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway,\u00a0stablehall.com. \u2014 Danny Cervantes<\/p>\n
Solya, Tele Novella<\/p>\n
Just when you think the music scene feels overrun by middle-aged grumps, here comes 19-year Solya, plying impressively produced, sultry indie-folk from far West Texas. Opener Tele Novella is a great match, offering smart songwriting and exquisite arrangements. $24, 7 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n
2hollis, Rommulas<\/p>\n
The gauzy electronica-drenched hip-hop of 2hollis straddles the line between substance and style. The Chicago native\u2019s lyrics emerge from a cloud of synths and beats that would feel at home in a future Tron movie. Which makes sense considering 2hollis got his big break when his 2023 single \u201cPoster Boy\u201d was included on a popular video game soundtrack. Also worth a mention, he may have inherited his love of off-kilter beats from his father, John Herndon, the drummer for post-rock band Tortoise. Sold out, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com. \u2014 DC<\/p>\n
Saturday, March 7<\/p>\n
Moonchild, Brittney Carter<\/p>\n
An eclectic mix of jazz, R&B and electronica form the foundation of LA-based trio Moonchild, which bonded while on lead singer Amber Navran\u2019s 2011 solo tour. All three studied jazz at USC, and their debut album Be Free drew high praise from soulful stalwarts Stevie Wonder and Jill Scott. Moonchild\u2019s newest album, Waves, was released just a week prior to the show and even boasts a guest appearance by Scott. $48.19-$189.50, 8 p.m., Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, 226 N St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 226-5700, majesticempire.com.\u00a0\u2014 DC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moonchild performs this Saturday at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre.
