Duck It Out

Wednesday nights at McGonigel's Mucky Duck have long been home to loose-limbed Irish jam sessions, but today early birds will get to mix politics, music, poetry and stand-up comedy at Duke at the Duck. For two hours, Duke Jones will play Gulf Coast-style traditional blues (on the birthday of Lightnin' Hopkins, no less) and will host a series of performers in a show that will also double as a petition drive for the Kinky Friedman for Governor campaign. Of course, when the event organizer takes pains to add in the press release that it's "rumored" that Friedman will make an appearance, odds are that the Kinkster is already planning to show up...Don't let us down, man!
Wed., March 15, 5-7 p.m.
