Go Billy
Billy Garza, a south Texas native, has called Austin home for the better part of the last two decades. Spending a good chunk of that time working at Austin's legendary blues club Antone's, Garza couldn't help but be influenced by the many award winning, world reknown musicians that graced the Antone's stage. Broken Spoke, 3201 S. Lamar 9:00pm
Free Comedy
Come join The New Movement for a night of free comedy! Cast members of The New Movement divide into two groups and perform alternating "living room" style improv comedy. Think Armando meets Living Room: the first group generates information for scenes with conversational storytelling which is performed by the second group. After 30 minutes, the groups switch and the performers become the interviewers. Tolly & Ross Moseley (That Austin Girl Blogger & band member of The Lemmings) will be guests of honor we will "interview" and generate information for our scenes. Space 12, 3121 East 12th St. 8:30 PM

Happy Birthday USA
On July 4th, more than 100,000 people gather at Auditorium Shores for the largest Independence Day celebration in Austin. The Austin Symphony will be under the apt baton of ASO Music Director Peter Bay. The H-E-B Austin Symphony July 4th Concert and Fireworks features patriotic music and the ever-popular 1812 Overture—the latter punctuated by 75-millimeter Howitzer cannons, courtesy of Texas National Guard Salute Battery, and spectacular fireworks over Lady Bird Lake. The H-E-B Austin Symphony July 4th Concert and Fireworks — planned and produced entirely by the ASO — is free and open to the public. The Austin Symphony Orchestra will begin performing at 8:30 p.m. and the fireworks will begin at 9:30 p.m., ending at 10:00 p.m. Come early, bring a picnic, claim a grassy spot and enjoy the patriotic music of the Austin Symphony Orchestra. Concessions will be available on site. (Sorry, alcohol and glass containers are not permitted in the park.)
Invasion Of The Czars
The Invincible Czars began as a horn/guitar outfit in April of 2002 when trumpeter Rick Redman met guitarist Josh Robins. They began with the idea of making spooky, instrumental music and would require that all future members be able to read music. Since the debut of the band's current line-up in October 2004, they have worked hard to become one of Austin's premier weird rock groups.Wooldridge Square Park, 800 Guadalupe St. 1:00 PM
Librarians? Yeah, They're Like That
The award-winning musical centers on Harold Hill, a colorful con man, who travels from town to town posing as a boys' band director - selling instruments and uniforms to the locals, collecting money, and then fleeing town without actually teaching the boys to play. In his efforts to evade prying questions, Harold does, however, bring the town to life, leaving a lasting impression on the local librarian, Marian Paroo.
