Joe Ely at Poor Davids

Joe Ely does an acoustic show at Poor Davids Pub in the heart of downtown on March 31st at 9 p.m. Tickets are $22 and the doors open at 7:30. I haven't had a close listen in many years. I put his efforts on the air at the Range, but nothing on this latest endeavor really picked me up. I'm sure being an acoustic performance, you'll get the classic Joe Ely songs in a more intimate fashion.

TMR Not Bogged Down in Rain

The Texas Music Revolution went down with a major success despite the soaking rainstorms. Record crowds made their way to J.R.'s homestead this pass Sunday for a full day of music and beer. It looked the way a 10th annual event of it's kind should. Lot's of folks, lot's of tunes and more fun than you can tune a banjo to. The highlight acts of the day were the headliners. Robert Earl brought down the rafters with a great jam of "What I Really Mean Is." Second only to Robert Earl was Radney Foster. This guy seems to have it together more than some of the others with a great persona and a very professional and sober stage act. TMR 10 was a "good ern", rain and all.

Poor Davids

A couple of great acts that attracted my attention are coming to Poor Davis Pub. Shawn Mullins, this March 25th has his CD release party. Joe Ely on a solo acoustic performance makes his way to the stage on March 31st. I'll add that Hayseed Dixie comes to town on May 19th. Until I worked at KHYI radio, I've gotta admit that I had not heard of them before. Man...they are walkin' on the wild side!

TMR This Weekend

The Texas Music Revolution is being held at Southfork Ranch this weekend. I've not been before (I just do the radio production) but I think I'm checking it out on Sunday afternoon. Posts of report are coming.
