West Texas area music calendar - 01/26/11

It is surprisingly hard to find reliable information about upcoming shows in West Texas. I try to check all of the usual suspects as far as venues go, but as it turns out, a lot of them are notorious for not updating Web sites. Many thanks go to those who have written me with details on shows. Please send corrections or additions as you have them.

As for Odessa & Midland, I don't know what's going on but I can't find much of anything in the way of upcoming shows. Not even bad ones. What's the deal?
