Music Menu / News Drivin' n' Cryin' headline the evening's events (June 25)

Drivin' n' Cryin' While to these ears the best thing DNC front man Kevn Kinney ever released was his Peter Buck-produced solo debut some 20 years ago, MacDougal Blues, Drivin' n' Cryin' as an entity allows the increasingly acoustic Kinney to exercise his early-'90s, .38 Special-meets-Three Dog Night radio-rock jones. You'll probably recognize most of the hits – "Fly Me Courageous," "To Build a Fire" – but some of the band's best stuff never made the airwaves. Making them, I guess, no better, worse, nor different from any other band since the beginning of time. With Catch the Fire, Blanco Diablo. $15, Amos' Southend, www.amossouthend.com (Timothy C. Davis)

Ty Bru We haven't heard much from Ty Bru since his 2007 album, On The Brink, made critics around the state perk up and listen, but the Asheboro, N.C., artist hasn't stopped grinding. His live show is one of those experiences that makes you believe in North Carolina hip-hop whether he's rocking a crowd of 10 or hundreds. He's supporting The Thought Criminals, a nine-piece hip-hop band that takes part Wu-Tang and part Black Sabbath to create their own thing. $6-$8, The Milestone, www.themilestoneclub.com (Mike McCray)

Cyril Neville The youngest of the legendary Neville Brothers, the musical royalty of New Orleans, Cyril Neville's Brand New Blues from last year was simply solid. Featuring soulful blues and New Orleans funky gumbo, the record's highlight is a sinewy take on Bob Marley's "Slave Driver." Even though he's been based in Austin since Katrina's devastation, the Crescent City pulses in his every note. Cyril Neville has appeared on dozens of recordings and he, along with his brothers, is an undeniable force in American music. With Bubonik Funk. $10-$12, Double Door Inn, www.doubledoorinn.com (Shukla)
