Sean Lucy 8PM |
The Mismatch 10PM |
| Nick & Paige met in the spring of 2011 when Paige approached Nick about forming their blues, roots-rock band, Paige & The Reverent Few. The two bonded over their deep love for roots and blues music. It's paved the way for their intimate, singer-songwriter setting. Lively fingerpicking, subtle slide, and floating harmonies add complex and emotional textures to the already rich lyrical repertoire. |
Leigh Rowan has spent her entire life onstage in her home state of Texas and also in Nashville, where she lived for 6 years. More recently, she has moved closer to Austin and teamed up with classically trained guitarist and local Austinite Jimmy Pringle. The chemistry between Leigh’s vocals and his guitar playing are undeniable. |
The Mismatch is a 6 piece from Austin that smoothly combines folksome Americana tunes with a hometown groove, a bit of bluegrass, and just the right amount of grit. Something really special happens when The Mismatch takes the stage, the overall charisma & energy that the band brings while on stage or off is truly infectious and fun to watch. An act that is unforgettable, multi-dimensional, and tells a story you won’t forget. |

She has been nominated four times for a Blues Music Award, and in 2006 was inducted into the Texas Music Hall of Fame, the same year her ensemble was voted the Best Blues Band in The Austin Chronicle Music Awards.

The Whiskey Prophets 10:30PM |

| Paul came up listening to the best of solid-gold honky tonk and traditional country music. You can hear it in his songs. His heart lies with bits and pieces of every strain of southern sound. You're sure to catch drops of blues, southern rock, and even a little folk sifting through the cracks. Whether in a smoke filled honky tonk playing over a crowded dance floor or picking at a bonfire with friends, his music is sure to make your blood flow. | Blending country, rock and invoking the alt-country spirit of power house bands like the Drive-By-Truckers, Jason Isbell, American Aquarium, The Whiskey Prophets are a thick southern dose of Americana awesomeness with a powerful sound all their own. | |
