Twin Creeks Hall hosted the BEST MUSIC IN TOWN last night. Local acts included Chris Browder and Colin Boutwell, Lynette & Lefty, Deanne Rene, The Jerry Rigged Band, Firewater, David True and the Truebadours, and everyone’s favorite porch-stomp group, Clyde.
Getting to enjoy the evening with my old friend and songwriting partner David Harbaugh made it all seem extra special.
The evening pulsed with nonstop music from 4PM to midnight as musicians and audience happily intermingled, creating a festival-like atmosphere. Groups scheduled to play late arrived early, and the acts who played early stayed late. Everyone got the chance to get to know these talented musicians before, during, and after their sets.
Some of Austin’s best guitarists—including David “Lefty” Gardner, Marshall Hood, and Josh Ribakove—seized the opportunity to showcase their unique styles. Like a master chef with a full spice rack, each guitarist created his own perfect recipe seamlessly mixing blues, rock, country, and swing.
One (or more or all) of these acts is going to “hit the big time” someday soon. When they do, last night’s crowd will be able to happily reminisce of the time they got to see them “back in the day.”
Lastly, this post wouldn’t be complete without thanking Tom, the owner of Twin Creeks Hall, and Melissa (a.k.a. “Austin’s best barmaid”) for their efforts helping to make last night so wonderful. David True arranged the show as a benefit for friend Linda Gonzales, and Catfish Russ was the emcee.
