    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Muddy Boots Promotions brings SIN/SHRIFT to Juno's for a late-night set billed simply as "Ofoneless," which tells you this is not a casual Tuesday crowd. Juno's back room holds sound well but fills fast for Muddy Boots shows, so arriving early matters more than the ticket suggests.

    Nathan Fox plays an evening set at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, one of the more reliably comfortable spots on the corridor for catching a solo performer mid-week.

    The instructors at Rock 101 Music Academy step out from behind the lesson plans and play a full night of live music at Rio Bravo Brewing.

  • Ray J & The Moonshiners Live

    Tractor Brewing Wells Park
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    Ray J & The Moonshiners are bringing their set to Tractor Brewing's Westside spot on Central, a room that tends to reward bands with some grit and doesn't flatter anyone who isn't ready. The show starts at 7 p.m. local time, which is an earlier-than-average door for a Saturday on this stretch, so arriving on...
