“We think this year’s line-up is the best yet,” Birdwell said. “We are so proud to be able to host such amazing talents in the beautiful and historic Aztec Theater.”

The doors will open at the Aztec for all four shows at 6:00 p.m., with performances at 7:00 p.m.
“We still have tickets left for Shinyribs, which is just over a week away,” she said. “This is a performance unlike any we have hosted before, with something special for everyone.”
The Austin band Shinyribs has built a reputation of presenting high energy shows that include a variety of music genres.
“Shinyribs is a unique band of 9 to 10 members who have been featured by Austin City Limits on several occasions,” said Albany Live president Michaela Smith. “They have a very large fan base, so we expect another sellout.”
Shinyribs defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues, New OrleansR&Bfunk,horn-drivenMemphis Soul,countrytwang,bordermusic, big band swing, and roots-rock, according to the group’s website.
The group is led by Kevin Russell, thecharismaticfrontmanwithcolorful suits and extravagant shoes who continuously swaps out an electric guitar for a ukulele and never falls short of creating a cinematic experience with on-stage antics that often include him donning a light-up cloak or leading a conga line through the crowd.
James McMurtry’s concert is anticipated to also be a sellout. McMurtry, the son of famed author Larry McMurtry, is a Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter.
“Tickets are selling fast for James McMurtry,” Smith said. “We encourage anyone interested in attending to get tickets sooner rather than later.”
A cash bar will be available to all ticketholdersduringperformances.
