Saturday at 12:45pm. I can't find much on this performer. Google AI says: "Left Lucid is the Austin-based DJ and electronic music producer alias of Lucas Ogden."
He's DJing tonight at Eberly and plays September 11th at Brushy Street Commons.
"247" is chill festival kickoff vibes.
"keeping u close" is his most streamed song on Spotify.
This is catchy.
Saturday at 12:45pm. According to Wikipedia:
Emmett Rogers Fightmaster (born 8 June 1992), known professionally as E. R. Fightmaster, is an American actor, producer, and writer. Fightmaster is known for their work on Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Kai Bartley, and through their solo music project Fightmaster (stylized in all caps)...Fightmaster is a former member of The Second City's Chicago and touring companies. Their previous work includes performing with Boom Chicago, an English-language comedy troupe in Amsterdam.
We saw a segment about Boom Chicago on either CBS Sunday Morning or 60 Minutes.
They are non-binary and play a non-binary doctor on Grey's Anatomy. They've released 2 EPs and 1 full album in June. They've opened for Lucy Dacus and Lord Huron.
"Bad Man" is the most streamed song. It's good.
So is "Cowboy Tumbleweed". For the Lord Huron fans.
"All or Nothing" is the first single off the new album.
This has a Lucy Dacus feel. One description of their music I saw is "genre-bending". It fits.
I could be up for getting there early to see this.
Friday at 8:40pm. It may be tough to stay late enough to watch this but I'll try to make a case for watching some of it. First, some facts I didn't know about her. From Wikipedia:
Charlotte Emma Aitchison was born in Cambridge, England, on 2 August 1992, the only child of nurse and flight attendant Shameera and entrepreneur and talent agent Jon Aitchison. Her mother was born into a Muslim family of Gujarati Indian descent in Uganda and moved to England after they were expelled by the Idi Amin regime. Her father is Scottish.
That's the third person I've come across recently that is descended from Indian Muslims expelled from Uganda. The second was a main suspect in the book I just read "London Falling". It was the first time I learned about that diaspora. The third person is NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Her Lollapalooza show has drawn great reviews:
"Charli xcx’s Lollapalooza Set Made Me Think There Might Be a God"
"Charli xcx delivers jaw-dropping drama amid made-for-movies downpour"
I pulled the setlist and created a Spotify playlist for it. I listened to the whole thing since I don't really know her music. It was a very eclectic mix.
I really like her new album "Music, Fashion, Film" and she plays a lot from it. Her previous album "Brat" was a cultural phenomenon. It's more straight-up dance pop than her new album which incorporates rock and heavy guitar. The cover is pretty cool, too, with John Cale, Marc Jacobs and Martin Scorsese. Music, Fashion, Film.
If she plays a similar setlist she'll start off with a few songs off her new album. It could be worth it to stick around for a bit.
"Yeah" is rocking. Cool video, too. Reminds me of Fischerspooner.
"SS26" is nice.
So is "Wink Wink"
This is the first song in the setlist. Damn good.
Friday at 7:30pm. According to Wikipedia:
Molly Santana is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. She is best known for her guest appearance alongside Future on Drake's 2026 song "Ran to Atlanta", which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100...Santana is of Japanese and African American ancestry, and grew up in Fontana, California.
She's only 21 years old.
"Can't Touch This" is one of her newer songs.
This is her most streamed song. I like it. Probably not our thing, though.
Friday at 7:15pm. I know he has won Grammys and did an ACL taping. I just don't know much about him. What I didn't know, according to Wikipedia:

Pretty impressive career.

This is his big hit. Live from his ACL taping.
