Unique Hill Country tasting room leads this week's 5 most-read Austin stories

Country singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves has laid out plans for the most extensive tour of her career: Called the Deeper Well World Tour, it will include not one but two nights at Austin’s Moody Center on Tuesday, November 26, and Wednesday, November 27.

The tour, which kicks off with a two-week European leg in April and May, will start in North America on September 4 in State College, Pennsylvania. She will play 35 shows in 29 cities, with Dallas one of six cities getting multiple concerts.

That list also includes Dallas, where Musgraves will play on November 22 and 23.

The only other Texas city, Houston, is scheduled for one concert on November 21.

She’ll be joined by Lord Huron and Nickel Creek at all three Texas stops.

The tour is in support of Musgraves’ fifth studio album, Deeper Well, due out March 15. She is scheduled for a slew of promotional appearances ahead of the release, including her third visit to Saturday Night Live on March 2, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 14, and NBC’s TODAY show on March 15.

All four of Musgraves’ previous studio albums have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country charts, and the top 4 on the overall Billboard 200. Her third album, Golden Hour, earned her the distinction of being only the third artist to take home Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards, and Academy of Country Music Awards.

American Express Card Members can purchase tickets for the Deeper Well World Tour in select markets before the general public beginning on Tuesday, March 5, at 10 am local time through Thursday, March 7, at 10 pm local time.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at kaceymusgraves.com/tour on Friday, March 8, at 10 am local time.

Austin opens cold weather shelters ahead of freezing temps

As the Austin area prepares to plunge into freezing temperatures Sunday night, the city is initiating its Cold Weather Shelters protocol.

Those wanting to use the emergency shelters, which open when overnight temperatures reach 35 degrees or lower, must register between 6-8 p.m. at One Texas Center (OTC) on Barton Springs Road, according to a release from the city. Those interested and in need of transport can reach the OTC via bus lines 1, 7, 10, 20, 30, 105 and 801. Anyone who can’t pay bus fare but needs shelter will still be allowed to ride, a Facebook post from the city said.

Following registration, CapMetro shuttles will take guests from the OTC to a cold weather shelter. The addresses for these shelters are kept confidential due to “safety, privacy and capacity concerns,” according to the Austin American-Statesman.

The Statesman also reported that shelters provide meals and allow leashed, friendly pets.

All parks and libraries are meanwhile serving as warming centers during regular operating hours, except for Austin Public Library’s Old Quarry Branch and Willie Mae Kirk Branch.

The richest small town in Texas tops our most popular Austin stories

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Austin Mayor Kirk Watson held a press conference Friday to discuss a new deal with Southwest Airlines and its expected impact on the city.

The deal, approved Thursday by the Austin City Council, awards Southwest $2,750 for each new Austin-based hire over the next five years. In exchange, the airline plans to add 2,000 high-paying jobs with an average salary of $180,000 and invest in local workforce initiatives, including the city’s new Austin Infrastructure Academy.

Officials say the deal will strengthen Southwest’s presence at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, where the carrier already handles more than 40 percent of all passenger traffic.

The partnership is expected to bring in nearly $20 million in local tax revenue, and the incentive program will last for five years and pay Southwest up to $5.5 million.

Mayor Watson said the agreement will not only create new jobs in Austin but will improve the overall experience at AUS.

“We’re building lives and careers at the same time we’re building tarmacs and terminals,” Watson said. “Southwest is choosing Austin because our people, our workforce, and our future make us a smart investment. This deal creates thousands of good-paying jobs, improves the passenger experience, and ensures the benefits flow directly to Austin workers, families, and tourists. This agreement is proof that Austin means business and cares about the success of its people.”
