Saturday, July 5, doors open at 3pm. Matinee, no cover. @ 3:30pm: Redd Volkaert (Heybale!, Merle Haggard) picks & grins for his classic country Saturday matinees with a great cast of players, including Rich Harney, Nate Rowe and Chris Gilson. Redds playing is so revered that many other musicians come to Redds shows just to study his technique & sound. He is a Telecaster master. Late Show, $10 at the door. No advance tickets! @ 9:00pm: Soulphonics The Soulphonics play American garage rock and roll: 3-4 minute songs, including instrumentals!, full of hooks and mostly about the pain of love, of life, and death, and no guitar noodling! 1966 AM radio at 4 AM. 3 minutes to remember the dance that it took 1000 years to forget. The Soulphonics 2011 debut album The DYNAMIC SOUNDS of The Soulphonics contains sixteen tunes: thirteen original songs and covers of three obscure songs from the 1960’s, chosen from the band’s repertoire of over fifty tunes. @ 10:30pm: Texas Blue Dots delve deep into Rythm and Blues and Rock and Roll to come up with their sound. Shaun Young and his band the Texas Blue Dots are the jumpin-est band out of Austin. @ 12:15am: Soul Supporters play early soul, R’nB, and blues with a sparse rhythm section, stinging guitar, and breathtaking gospel and blues-tinged vocal harmonies. The band’s equally formidable singers Lauren Cervantes and Angela Miller have picked up the torch of Austin blues sirens like Lou Anne Barton, Angela Strehli, and Marcia Ball, and are carrying it on with incredible harmony vocals that must be heard. Influenced by early R n’B artists like The Ikettes, Sugar Pie DeSanto, and Ruth Brown, the band is brewing a potent non-commercialized concoction of “retro-soul” with a growing number of tradition-inspired originals, and is flooring audiences everywhere they happen to play.
