Katie Pruitt lovely artist, we've been playing on Sun Radio kind of has a little bit of country leaning but definitely more of a pop artist, great songwriter she's based in Nashville these days but she will be there with Judy Blank a great local songstress opening up for her So that's at 8 p.m. to Thursday. Yeah. Katie Pruitt. What like gorgeous, pristine voice, like really, really amazing songs. You're going to be swaying and probably singing along. Let's say let's earworms.

Yeah, especially during the holidays, like I know we're not quite there yet, but we're getting into it. A lot of these places decorate big and they have fun little fall festivals and activities and stuff. So it's kind of nice to experience that and get out of the big city for a minute. For sure. Get yourself a meal or a drink or a coffee, whatever before the show if you want to do that. And Buda's booming, man. They've got so many great restaurants down there. there like six years ago and it was just starting to kind of like percolate and now it's like they have so many great great little spots so meridian friday uh sun radio southbound with sour bridges sour bridges every time they come oh they're so fun they're so great what about saturday a really fun latin music show happening at continental club on south congress um dos santos is a really incredible chicago-based kind of cumbia um cumbia latin groove band that will make will make you dance i keep saying that but it's like it's true you kind of can't listen to this music it's like you will something will look like a real dot if you do not move something on your body you'll just kind of start ticking like this at the bar if you don't know what else to do just do that you can get away with that i get away with that a lot i think yes it's fine it's fine people understand those voluntary response totally exactly exactly and uh paired with local cumbia outfit money chicha great band so those are two very powerful uh like cumbia I think psychedelic cumbia, just lots of, like, organ and guitar and all these incredible sounds and that beat, just that it's infectious, that groove. 10 p.m., kind of a late show, but it's a Saturday night at Continental Club. Hopefully, the horns finally get away and you're going there to celebrate. I'm going to speak that into existence. You're not drowning your sorrows. You're there partying with the movies. Oh, my God. That's Saturday. And if you haven't quite got enough music over these last few days, you've still got something for us Sunday. Sunday is your little cherry on the cake, a big road show for all you 90s nostalgia fans, Smashing Pumpkins at Moody Center this Sunday. That's as big as it gets. Yeah, so you can get a little emo and melancholy. It's the perfect time of year, Smashing Pumpkins. Did you just see? I just saw in my algorithm, they said, you know, if that Smashing Pumpkins song, 1979, came out now, it'd be called 2010. 2010! That made me very sad. Because I do remember buying that in 1995. Totally. Be that as it may. Yeah. I'm sure that's going to be a great show. Sunday at Moody Center. There's going to be a lot of Gen Xers just swaying their hearts out over there. I have to believe in my kids. Totally. Because, man, I'm sure you were in bands from the 60s and 70s in the 90s. I think about that a lot. When I was growing up, I was into Led Zeppelin. It's kind of the equivalent. It's like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam are what those bands were to us. Yeah, for sure. Cool. All shows, big and small, presented to you from Sun Radio. We appreciate it, as always. My pleasure. Thanks, Dave.
