Show Of The Week
I’m so very excited to see Joanna Newsom (with the also great Alela Diane) at ACL Live tonight. She’s responsible for my favorite live performance of all-time (you can read a poorly written, early-days-of-the-blog entry on it here), and I’ll never miss an opportunity to see her play.
With that being said, I know Joanna isn’t for everyone, so here’s my backup plan for those of you who fall into this group – THE MOHAWK. On Friday they’ll be kicking off a nine-night celebration of being in existence for a decade! So, take a look at the schedule, pick a show or five and go support one of Austin’s best venues.
