house gigs
ok, so maybe the fort _isn't_ "austin-when-it-was-austin"; it's still a pretty good place to hear interesting, eclectic live music for free, any night of the week. (and i'm not even including mchenry's, which i've never visited 'cos i'm generally allergic to singer-songwriters.) dig:
- monday: justin pate, keyboard-vox extraordinaire of visitors / bindle / pablo and the hemphill 7 / confusatron fame, now has a solo gig playing his favorite covers and making weird noises at the moon on berry st. and some young blood singer-songwriter types have started an acoustic jam at the saffire lounge on west 7th.
- tuesday: hank hankshaw does his country-rockabilly thang during happy hour at the wreck room.
- wednesday: there's lee and carl's invitational jam at the wreck room, dave and daver's jazz at the black dog, and mike richardson, who's famous for putting together cover bands at a moment's notice, doing a solo pianner thang at the moon.
- thursday: scott copeland, the fort's best-kept secret songwriterwise, has happy hour at the wreck. later on, confusatron does their funky-jazzy hipi-dippy jamband thang at the black dog. and dru weber just started doing a country-blues set over at fred's.
- friday: you get to choose between darrin kobetich's solo acoustic gtr raga-blues-bluegrass wonderfulness at the wreck during happy hour or saint frinatra's jazz later on at fred's. or why not do both?
- saturday: darrin does his solo deal for the non-carnivores at spiral diner on magnolia, then runs over to fred's to play bluegrass with the electric mountain rotten apple gang.
- sunday: dave karnes and joey carter have taken over the sunday jazz at the black dog. or if ya like bluesjams, there's johnny mack at the keys lounge or paul byrd at j&j's.
and any night of the week except monday, you can hear johnny case's jazz piano at sardines ristorante italiano. (i think he usually subs out monday, so there's still music to be heard there, too.)
not too shabby, methinks. and i just composed this off the top of my head in like five minutes. there are undoubtedly others. plus the traffic mostly doesn't suck. so there.
