i spent all wednesday evening pinching myself. i was finally
an attendee of blues on the green- a free concert series in zilker park put on by 93.3 kgsr.
somehow i COMPLETELY missed this through both summers that i lived here
in austin during college. i was trapped in a college bubble. nothing i can do about that. as the great and wise pumba says, "you gotta put your past, in your behind." so, i embraced the moment and it. was. AWESOME.
the two bands lined up for the evening were the wheeler brothers and old 97's front man, rhett miller. i went to college with one of the wheeler brothers' band members, and this was my first time seeing them perform live. it was a huge deal for them to play BOTG, which added a whole layer of enjoyability to the show. their debut album, "portraits" is out now and it so great. preview some of the songs on youtube...and then buy the album on itunes. deal?
up next was rhett miller. obviously, he was flawless. RM has a special place in my heart as he is the front man of the old 97's, a dallas-based band that basically put me in a stroller and pushed me through high school...emotionally. i mean. we've all
all in all, a great night of live music in austin shared with friends, boxed wine, and baked cheetos. can you really ask for anything more?
