A Juneteenth celebration, Taméca Jones, the Howdy Gals' Pride Celebration, Mad Professor, and more music recommendations for the week.
The free third edition of the Juneteenth celebration Stay Black & Live culminates with a stacked event combining great local Black musical talent and Black-owned food trucks. Stay Black & Live started as a livestream founded in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and increasingly perturbing violence toward Black and brown people.
Still freshly christened, yet already highly celebrated, Red River Cultural District newcomer venue Chess Club brings yet another heavy banger this Sabbath. Offering their blackened, atmospheric, sludgy soundscapes, local doomsayers Communion headline. Only their second show of the year, it would be ill-advised to miss this dark, dismal, and somewhat experimental sonic experience.
