SXSW descends on us once again … I’ve got five gigs lined up this next week with three different bands, and I’d love to see y’all!
Hecho a Mano is excited to (finally!) be returning to the Pangea lounge this Friday now that the weather’s warmed. We’ve got some new music ready for you–including originals–and as far as we know, the dance floor will be open and popping. I’ll be leading our ever-popular drink-as-you-learn beginner salsa lesson at 8pm, and then the music starts at 9pm!
Big Wy’s Brass Band is a familiar sight around Austin, and I am really excited to join them for their official SXSW showcase on the 13th. We’ll be joining the world-famous Preservation Hall Jazz Band on the 14th for a parade, too, so be sure not to miss that!
The Capitol is a new Austin funk project that’s doing some pretty cool stuff with original compositions. I’m one of the old men in this band (some of them can’t even drink yet?!?) which is a really strange feeling, but these dudes are bringing it. The Co-Op show is going to be a fun grungy mess and if that’s your thing you should definitely come dig it.
