Things to Do in Austin This Weekend: Nov 13–15

Things to Do in Austin This Weekend: Nov 13–15 City Guides
A mix of pop-rock arena energy, Latin headliners, stand-up at Cap City, and jazz and blues at Antone's for the Nov 13–15 weekend.

Jonas Brothers play Moody Center ATX on Friday night while El Tri brings Mexican rock to Emo’s East on the same evening, a pairing that spans two very different crowds. Antone’s Nightclub, the old Austin blues room, hosts Israel Nash on Saturday and Makaya McCraven the following night, so the jazz and alternative threads run through the same club.
