Thursday, July 31, doors open at 4pm. Happy Hour, $5 at the door. No advance tickets! @ 6:30pm: The Whiskey Sisters are going to be rockin the house in a big way every Thursday! The Whiskey Sisters is a co-chick fronted rock/blues/country band! Teal Collins (The Mother Truckers) and Barbara Nesbitt (Tim Flannery & The Lunatic Fringe) met in Austin and decided to get together to sing a tune or two. By the time they reached the first chorus harmonies they knew it was going to be a good thing. They have been working hard to form their new band, The Whiskey Sisters, which is a sound like nothing else youve heard. Joined by crack musicians, they are going to take the world by storm. Late Show, $8 at the door. No advance tickets! @ 10:00pm: Ramsay Midwood will be holding down a two-month residency on Thursday nights, showcasing some of his favorite bands, alongside his own. “Take a healthy dose of John Prine, a dollup of Bringing It All Back Home electric Dylan, a pinch of early Tom Waits, a sprinkle of Charlie Poole, and a splash of Lightin’ Hopkins…the result might be as intriguing as Midwood’s first album, Shoot Out at the OK Chinese Restaurant.” ~Dustin Ogden, No Depression. Its also said that he has ...a voice/vibe like Bobby Charles and Link Wray playing Russian roulette in a woodshed.” Damn, thats good! @ 12:00am (midnight): The Carper Family. As Jim Caligiuri of the Austin Chronicle has written, “[They] blend their voices immaculately... and write warm and enticing songs that sound like they were new 50 years ago.” Their original songs range from the deeply-moving to the profoundly quirky and their catalogue of lesser known country music is impressive for such a young group. While playing gigs and festivals is clearly at the top of any band’s agenda, The Carper Family is equally committed to sharing American country music in educational and communal settings. To them, country music isn’t just about entertaining; it’s also about understanding, honoring, and developing American country communities in the city and on the farm. As such, they’ve taught workshops and lessons at a variety of gatherings and regularly play at country dances, farmers’ markets, and farm potlucks. Their aspirations, professional and personal alike, point to spirit of the rural places from which they have come and to which they hope to go.The Carper Family’s dedication to the rich and sprawling history of American country music and the joy they bring audiences with their crystalline sound guarantee that these ladies will be introducing this new-old music to folks for years to come.
