Live Music Calendar

Tuesday
Born in Colorado, Jonah Werner now calls Texas his home. He’s a story-teller singer/songwriter that is celebrating the release of his new CD Better Things tonight at the Duck.
Music: "Derail" (requires Real Player)
8 p.m. at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck | info

Wednesday
It’s hard to take a group seriously when they call themselves a “Nintendo band” – so we won’t. The Advantage’s songs are instrumental pieces that sound like they could have been pulled straight from your Game Boy. Satin Hooks and Motion Turns It On join the line-up.
Music: "Gremlins 2" (The Advantage)
8 p.m. at Walter’s on Washington | tickets and info

Thursday
Even if the only Chris Isaak song you know, and like, is “Wicked Game,” you should check him out live. For those who watched his old series on Showtime, you know he has quite a dry sense of humor. Always entertaining.
8 p.m. at Verizon Wireless | tickets and info

For those who like 90’s pop-alternative, the combo of Counting Crows and Goo Goo Dolls is a dream come through. The Crows may be lacking of hits compared to ten years ago, but the quality of their music is still high – that’s not exactly true for the Dolls, though.
7 p.m. at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion | tickets and info

If you prefer a more local double bill, you can’t go wrong with two of our favorites, Lanky and Lee Alexander.
Music: "Venus Rising" (Lee Alexander)
8 p.m. at Rudyard’s | info

Friday
Since their start at the beginning of the decade, Del Castillo has been gathering great press, winning awards at SXSW for their unique blend of traditional Latin, flamenco, rock and blues. Michael Flores joins them tonight.
Music: "Vida" (Del Castillo)
8 p.m. at Warehouse Live | tickets and info

If your weekend begins with the blues, go to Fitz for their First Annual Foot Fitz Blues Jam. The line up features over a dozen artists, including Jerry Lightfoot’s Gulf Ghost Jam and Carolyn Wonderland.
8 p.m. at Fitzgerald’s | tickets and info
