Concert Update: Jenny, Trey, Britt, and Jose
As Elvis Costello might say, we just don't know where to begin. Even if you are skipping ACL, the fall is turning into a music wonderland. Acts of every genre and size are booking Austin's clubs up like there's no tomorrow, leaving music lovers with many questions on how to spend both time and cash this fall. Trust us, you can't see it all, so pick your favorites and buy tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
New additions include free shows from RJD2, David Garza, and Gnarls Barkley, new club dates for Spoon, The Rapture, and Jet, and outdoor tunes from Jenny Lewis and Trey Anastasio (I smell hippies!) Let your wallet and your eardrums be your guide:
