Super Busy Eve of New Year's Eve Gig Alert: Toadies, Old 97s, Slobberbone, Sarah Jaffe, True Widow and La Grange's Grand Opening

​
Judging by the slew of good shows going on in our area this evening, the musical gods are indeed shining down upon us. Check out this list...

First off, as you already know, tonight marks the final night of the Old 97s four-night run at Sons of Hermann Hall. It also marks the first of the Toadies' two-night run at Trees.

But there's much, much more: Tonight at the Granada Theater you'll find a great triple bill of Slobberbone, Scott H. Biram and Telegraph Canyon at The Granada. And, downtown at City Tavern, the dirge-rocking True Widow performs an "An Evening With..." affair where it plans to unveil some of its new songs. And, over at the House of Blues, a more emo bill is up for grabs, featuring Sleeperstar, Jillian Edwards, Stars Go Dim and Ryan Edgar tonight at House of Blues?

All that a little heavy for you? Then check out Sarah Jaffe and Jeremy Bueller at Opening Bell Coffee for a folkier, singer-songwriter vibe.

And, last, but not least: The King Bucks, Grant Jones & The Pistol Grip Lassos and The O's hit up the grand opening of La Grange down in Deep Ellum, right across from Trees.

Tomorrow night's busy, sure--but tonight's offerings may take the cake...
