Ever drive out toward Blanco through the Hill Country on RR 32 right at sunset, when the last rays of light streak gold across the darkening horizon? Anyone who has understands in an instant how this part of Texas acquired the title of Big Sky Country, and it is a unique experience that is definitely worth seeing. The Devil’s Backbone Tavern is an old-school honky tonk perched on the ridge of this breathtaking vista, making it an ideal stargazing spot. Tonight, Sue Foley and The Pistolas will take the Backbone stage at 8 p.m. A legendary blues guitarist, Foley will play from her latest album, One Guitar Woman: A Tribute to the Female Pioneers of Guitar. After Foley’s set, head out to the parking lot to catch the sunset. Both will be spectacular shows. Tickets for Foley and The Pistolas are available at devilsbackbonetavern.com/live-music.

Say farewell to local beloved band Kenny Normal at Zelicks Icehouse at 7 p.m. tonight. This will be their last show. The band’s got a bluesy feel highlighted by the keyboard and saxophone. Party Fun Time band will also be playing. Grab a beer or one of their tasty margaritas and dance your booty off. I also recommend trying the food truck. Those Queso Fries are delectable. Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. there will be a 4 mile San Marcos River guided kayak trip hosted by Central Texas River trips at 5632 Central Texas Drive. Email CentralTexasRiverTrips@gmail.com for more information. If you’re feeling more like lazing around than working out, I recommend going to the river without a kayak. Just lay in it and connect with nature. This has been a very stressful time in our country, and around the world really, so let the water soothe your nerves and connect you to something greater than yourself.
