Even amid the Joe Rogan and Elon Musk of it all, Austin remains a decidedly weird city. The second annual Stay Weird Austin raises money for Preservation Austin to make sure we don’t lose sight of what’s still special, and curates an eclectic lineup to match. Southern-fried rockers the Ransom Brothers kick off early with Wood & Wire’s Tony Kamel, before Monica Valli slays the blues and All Hat No Cadillac trips the dance floor nostalgic with Nineties country covers. Me Nd Adam’s indie rock and Louisiana Surf Department’s gritty grooves close out. Free food, raffles, and two-step lessons keep it weird. – Doug Freeman
