On the Beat

On the Beat: David Menconi on music

News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.

Catching up: Elvis Costello, venue wars

Howdy, all. I'm still trying to catch up (and recover) from last week's South By Southwest festivities, and a few things came up while I was out of town. First and foremost, Cary's Koka Booth Amphitheatre announced a pretty swell show -- the great Elvis Costello on June 14. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.

Also, a story about competition heating up between local mid-sized concert halls ran in Sunday's paper. If you missed that, check here.

Be back with more soon...
