Twenty-three years in and partying at the pink granite chip off our state Capitol retains its evergreen novelty. Three homegrown music bills, two acts each, echo outside the Bob Bullock State History Museum for free on consecutive Fridays in June, 7-9pm. This mid-set beautifully pairs two powerful R&B divas – if ever Taméca Jones and Rochelle Creone could confine to a single root style. Not forgetting flawless 2024 hip-pop Plants & Pills, the Austin-reared former once mashed up Ella Fitzgerald and Led Zeppelin, while the latter with her Sidewinders kicks some Ike & Tina Turner via roadhouse blues, rock, and soul. – Raoul Hernandez
