Last night, classic hip-hop ensemble Bone Thugs-n-Harmony sold out The Bourbon’s mainroom. The quintet reached prominence in the mid- to late-90s with releases like E. 1999 Eternal and The Art of War. See photos from the show below by contributor David Gass.

Josh Hoyer and The Shadowboxers received some extra wind in the sails as the soul band strikes out on a southern U.S. tour. 

Last night, the band played its first date on a 13-stop tour in Dallas. Before that, Josh Hoyer and The Shadowboxers’ self-titled February release finished the year in the second spot on Roots Music Report’s soul chart, right below Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. It’s also the only self-released record to crack the top 30, according to Roots Music Report.

Tonight, Hoyer and crew play Stubb’s BBQ in Austin. Check out the full tour dates here.
