Since moving
to Austin, we have been enjoying more of the music scene Texas has to
offer. Austin is famous for SXSW. It attracts the masses and every year star
gazing is not solely reserved to sitting under the Texas sky, but spotting one
celebrity or another attending the 10 day event.
The Saddle Sores |
We have been
fortunate to have made new friends whose musical family
connections have them well informed of local bands. Thru them we have been introduced to a number
of music venues and had had excellent evenings.
One gem of a venue is this out of the way dance
hall (thru miles of country roads & fields) in Coupland, TX.
Now the honey
and I enjoy all types of music, but especially LIVE music. These particular friends I have mentioned are
partial to country music and thanks to them we have enjoyed a few local bands, the more
memorable performances from “Mike & The Moonpies” & “The Saddle Sores”. You just got to love their names.
Lake Street Dive at ACL |
We have also
caught in-town performances. My personal favorites from last year are “Lake Street Dive” which performed last Summer at the famous ACL (Austin City Limits)
& “Mingo Fishtrap” on my birthday, the latter an Austin band I have been following
for over a decade.
So, while the
city is gearing up for another SXSW, many will be enjoying less crowded venues. Still enjoying good music and of course, good
drinks!
