Friday, 5.19.23 at 10 pm: Sue Foley, Continental Club, $15, Blues

Rounding out the roundup this week with another stellar local musician, Miss Sue Foley. Discovered by Clifford Antone, she became a staple of the Austin blues scene after moving here from Canada in the 90s. Getting ready to go back on tour in the Great White North, she’ll be cutting a LIVE album over the course of two days at the historic Continental Club. Sue’s deeply rooted traditional blues guitar stylings are one of a kind, and can’t be missed. You may have seen her play with Jimmie Vaughan or Billy Gibbons during the Jungle Show, but nothing compares to seeing her shine on her own.
