Waco Insider #110
Holly Tucker, Celebrity Improv, and Brothers in Blues
Texas country singer-songwriter Holly Tucker first came to national prominence on season four of The Voice in 2013, but lucky for us, the Lorena native—is there something in the water down there or what?—still regularly swings through Waco. That’s the case on Friday night when she’s doing an acoustic show at Freight Bar. Expect an upbeat and sassy show that’ll have your toes tapping from start to finish.
Listen to more music by Holly Tucker on Spotify.
Brazos Theatre’s Celebrity Improv is back on Friday and Saturday, starting at 7:30 pm, as some of your favorite notable Wacoans converge onstage to entertain you in a whole new art form. (Well, new to most of them, anyway!)
Get your tickets now before they sell out.
Music fans are in for a real treat on Monday night when the documentary Brothers in Blues screens at the Hippodrome. It’s the story of two Texas blues scene giants: Jimmie Vaughn and his little brother Stevie Ray Vaughn. While SRV was the more famous of the two—has it really been almost 25 years since he died?—his brother was the long-time guitarist for Austin’s The Fabulous Thunderbirds before going solo.
Tickets are $15 and are available online.
Listen to music by Jimmie Vaughn and Stevie Ray Vaughn on Spotify.
