Friends, Family, Community and the Magic of Live Music
For three or four hours, eight summertime Friday evenings, life is just like it should be. Babies don’t cry, dogs don’t bark, and wise elders feel nineteen again. The Muse visits the musicians pretty much every night and dances when the spirit moves her. We don’t know why this all happens here, we’re just glad it does.
August2 The Texas Gentlemen
Alt-Rock
This Lone Star-bred collective bounce back and forth between country, blues, soul, and psychedelia. A ready-to-rock group of session musicians on a par with such storied outfits as Alabama’s Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, L.A.’s Wrecking Crew, and The Band. Their music slams out of the speakers and announces The Texas Gentlemen as a force to be reckoned with.
