A week of rockabilly madness ties up as guitarist Jim Heath’s fourth annual Continental Hayride burns down the joint. Friday guests gritty raconteur James Intveld, six-string scientist Deke Dickerson, and belter Jimmy Dale Richardson, while Saturday/Sunday croons behind Charley Crockett returning home behind new LP The Valley. The Sabbath also delivers Kelly Willis and swinging redemption.

The preeminent promoter of Austin’s “sound of our town” put its money where its radio frequency sits on the dial (98.9) this summer with huge, free, community gatherings for White Denim and Moving Panoramas that net some 10,000 locals combined. Local synth-pop duo Zettajoule, Meggan Carney and Matt Sheffer, and rapper/looper SaulPaul now encore. Face painting opens festivities at 5:45pm.
