The Cow Band

I've been in contact with a booking agent in Nashville concerning the John Cowan band and a venue for them in Dallas. They will be in Austin for the Old Settler's fest on the 20th of April. We were looking for a 21st or 22nd venue.

Our first opp came back unobtainable as the agency is asking for too much. I'm hoping someone in Dallas is a match. He's never played here and the acoustic community is missing out on awesomeness like nothing else.

If you've got an idea, let me know soon. I'll pass it along.

Vern Young

This past Saturday (I've been tied up and should have posted) Vern Young served up a great solo performance at the Chrystal Opry in Tom Bean, Texas. Vern's brand of music is reminiscent of the sounds of Mac Wiseman, although may would claim differently. It was a very laid back night with about 120 or so in attendance. He's touring Texas and Oklahoma throughout the spring. It's a good catch if you prefer the old time sound.
