Hello, music fans! Let’s start this round-up with Nicki Minaj’s latest because, let’s face it, we all desperately want to be cool and at least have a minor grasp upon what the kids are listening. Warning: Nicki Minaj has pricey body parts and accompanying language.
What’s playing around the Hill and beyond?
You know that if it’s Wednesday night, Mr. Henry’s is the place to be. Their Wednesday night jazz showcase, from 8-11 p.m., is a great time to see up and coming talents as well as established acts. For more info, click here.
If dancing is more your speed, why not get down and funky tonight at City Winery with Sirius Company featuring Ms. Kim and Scooby? Tickets/info here.
On Thursday, catch a FREEEE show at Pearl Street Warehouse. It’s Shiner Honky Tonk Night and you’re invited. Just know, shows are first come, first served. More info here.
Friday, catch hyperlocal band the Boom Town Wreck at Solid State Books. Excited to see photog about town Jim Havard rocking out! Show’s at 8 pm. More info here.
Saturday, go to Rock and Roll Hotel and listen to local alt band Chute and Twisted Flags as the opener. Chute has that angsty guitar vibe that was so popular oh, some years ago, but they make it work. Take a listen here. More info and tickets here.
