Los Texmaniacs with special guest Augie Meyers are scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 22, at the Cactus Theater, 1812 Buddy Holly Ave.

New exhibit opens at TTU Museum
This Empty World is a new exhibit opening May 23 at the Museum of Texas Tech University, 3301 Fourth St.
The exhibit addresses the escalating destruction of the natural world at the hands of humankind, showing a world where, overwhelmed by runaway development, there is no longer space for animals to survive. The people in the photos are also often helplessly swept along by the relentless tide of progress.
Each image is a combination of two moments in time, captured weeks apart, almost all from the exact same locked-off camera position.
Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday; 1-5 p.m. Sunday; and closed on Mondays.

TPS 29: The International Competition features work by 50 different artists across the United States. From California to New York, Utah to Maine, Oregon to Georgia, these photographs have a wide range of style and subject matter that is both timely and striking.

Crockett to perform at Cactus
Charley Crockett is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 28, at the Cactus Theater, 1812 Buddy Holly Ave.
Crockett’s new album, “Welcome to Hard Times,” is an aptly-named collection that perfectly fits these troubled days even though it was made just before the pandemic hit. The music was shaped by his heart issues and producer Mark Neill’s desire to make “a dark gothic country record.”
Opening for Crockett is singer-songwriter Jesse Daniel.
Tickets for this show are $25 in advance and $30 day of the show for floor and standard balcony; and $60 for balcony box seats (this ticket includes concessions – present in lobby when ordering).

Craig Wayne Boyd offers a voice full of gospel-tinged country smoke, Adam Wakefield blends a rootsy bluegrass-and-Americana rasp, and Casey James wraps it with a blue-eyed soul quality and deft blues guitar chops.
Boyd and Wakefield appeared on TV’s “The Voice,” and James was a contestant on “American Idol.”
Tickets for this show are $19 in advance and $24 day of the show for floor and standard balcony; and $38 for balcony box seats (this ticket includes concessions – present in lobby when ordering).

Museum of TTU hosts ‘Whereabouts and Hideouts’
The Museum of Texas Tech University, 3301 Fourth St., is hosting the exhibit “Wherabouts and Hideouts” through May 29.
Organized by The Artist Printmaker Research Collection (AP/RC), a division of the Art Collection, the exhibit encompasses a variety of artworks created since the 1960s. Among them, artists have spent considerable attention on what many call the “built environment,” that is the buildings and structures that humans have constructed and installed on the surface of the earth.
Buildings swamp our planet. They reflect what is important to us, who we are. As these buildings rise and later turn to ruins, they chronicle human activities and cultural expressions.
Four AP/RC artists from Texas and New Mexico turned their attention to distinctly regional views of our “built environment,” giving us a glimpse of the unparalleled collections of the Museum of Texas Tech University and each artist’s perspective on the buildings we live with.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Museum hours are Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
