If it weren’t in the open air, I’d say the performance by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings on Wednesday night was roof-rattling. The 53-year-old reigning queen of vintage soul gave a memorable turn at the outdoor theater at Stubb’s during NPR’s SXSW showcase, a night that featured an equally stirring set from the Walkmen as well as outings from Spoon, Broken Bells and Visqueen.
