Whether you agree or disagree with Austin’s “Live Music Capital of the World” claim, there is little doubt that our city hosts a plethora of quality shows every week and offers boundless options to its fine citizens on a daily basis. This week, pick from a number of choices to supplement your everyday rat race activities. On Tuesday, Matt Costa holds court at The Parish with his informal tales wrapped up in pop melodies and topped with sprinkles of piano and harmonica. Costa was once an avid skateboarder but a serious injury ended that calling a few years ago, allowing him to concentrate on his musical career instead. Unfamiliar Faces was released in January of this year on Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records. The soulful Americana flavor of The Delta Spirit precedes Costa.
