Curtain Call - Weekend Music Roundup
by Kevin BuchananIt’s going to be a beautiful weekend in the Panther City, and to celebrate, here’s a listing of the music-type events going on throughout our urban core. This is, of course, not listing the guitar-playing hippy or out-of-tune keyboard playing guy who usually inhabit Houston Street in Sundance Square, but I figure their presence goes without saying.

When do you publish this coming weekend’s live music (Sat, June 7)? Trying to plan a friend’s birthday and she wants to see live music downtown FW. Need as soon as possible. Thanks! Or is there a newspaper website that has already published this weekend’s live bands?
Thanks again!
