Free Week w/ JaRon Marshall, Trejo, DJ Hair of the Dog [garage]; Magic Rockers of Texas, Lola Tried, Tied Up, Half Dream [control room]

Let’s get it outta the way first: Empire’s Friday Free Week lineup addition DJ Hair of the Dog is of no relation to Hair of the Dog SXSW party mascot Hank the Chrondog. BUT there is a slight connection in that the show Mr. DJ Hair of the Dog joins will also feature a pop-up from our wonderful Chron crew, who’re there promoting our recently released Music Poll. If you get a minute away from enjoying the top-tier tunes played by HotD’s fellow stage stormers Half Dream, Tied Up, Lola Tried, Magic Rockers of Texas, Trejo, and JaRon Marshall, make sure to visit the table to cast your vote! Hank the Chrondog will not be there, however, as he will be watching the season premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race 17 that night. – James Scott
