Austin, Texas Music Scene Is Unreal!

Upon my return from Austin last week I was blown away how much this city changed since I hung out in the late eighties. I felt as if I was in the Nashville of the wild West. Austin had so many genres and ear candy to digest, not just on sixth street, it seems the whole city was flowing in rhythmic patterns. I am including images from my recent trip, shots taken at ABGB on 8/8/15 of Emilie Clepper, who had a fantastic style all her own and The Lonesome Heroes who describe themselves as a cosmic American band. The Lonesome Heroes state that their primary influences come from Gram Parsons and Big Star, they were a whole lot of fun.
