KMTN 96.9 FM and 307 Live present The Roosevelts: America’s Own Indie-Rock Act at Town Square Tavern. These songsmiths carved a distinctive niche in the Austin music scene before moving to Nashville.

Wind up Memorial Day weekend on a good note with the Hootenanny at Dornan’s outside Moose. This open mic night features local-area musicians who play two-song sets. Free.
