Overwhelmed by Austin's music scene? These 3 concerts will make you want to gouge your ears out.

Living in the so-called 'live music capital' is a blessing and a curse. Like, it's great to have access to all these shows, but it's also exhausting keeping up with the ever-growing list of concerts. But hey, if you're one of those music junkies who can't get enough, here's a rundown of some upcoming gigs, from the sweaty basements to the shiny new arenas.

Old Guys with Guitars and Their Groupies

📍 Moody Center

Carlos Santana, at the ripe old age of 77, is still shredding (or trying to) with his band of spirits and ghosts. He's brought along the Counting Crows, because who doesn't want to relive the 90s? While Carlos strums his stuff, his wife, Cindy Blackman Santana, will be banging away on the drums. Expect a trip down memory lane with hits from the ancient "Abraxas" (1970), the prehistoric "Santana III" (1971), and the slightly less antiquated "Supernatural" (1999).

Info: Starting at $40, but it's probably worth more to relive your glory days moodycenteratx.com
