Love Austin Music Month Picks

By: Laurie Gallardo

DIE SPITZ

As part of KUTX’s celebration of Love Austin Music Month, the AMM rounds up a few show picks for your perusal. It’s damn hard to choose just one, though, especially during Free Week 2023, brought to you by our colleagues at Red River Cultural District:

A couple of badass non-Free Week shows of note: Tony Kamel kicks off his January residency at C-Boy’s Heart and Soul tonight; and Cactus Lee performs at Lolo, 1504 E. 6th, as part of the tribute to Dry Creek Café.

All of these awesome shows are tonight, Thursday Jan. 5. Go forth, and get thy face melted.
