This Weekend’s “Quarantine Streams”:
BRB Fest: “The weeklong event, which started Monday, brings you two artists each evening with nods to Austin venues like Antone’s, Barracuda and Hotel Vegas,” Gott says.
When: Friday and Saturday, April 24 -25, 8:30 p.m. CST

Who: Friday: Nevil and Sabrina Ellis (lead singer of the bands Sweet Spirit, A Giant Dog and Heart Bones); Saturday: Daniel Francis Doyle and Christelle Bofale.
Erika Wennerstrom (Heartless Bastards): Gott says Wennerstrom’s 2018 debut solo album, “Sweet Unknown,” is beautiful, insightful and highly recommended. It’s about “embracing self-care and the unknown.”
