‘Spent A Year There One Knite’

At any old-geezer blues show these days, you’ll likely spy a youthful interloper named Stu Gilbert, usually the youngest in the crowd. Gilbert’s fascination with Austin’s One Knite Dive and Tavern (1970-75), located where Stubb’s stands today, led him to make the Spent a Year There One Knite documentary about a scene that fostered the young, white blues scene, which presaged the national blues revival of the Eighties doggedly against the rising Cosmic Cowboy tide. Free premiere includes club reunion concert.

– Margaret Moser

Stubb's, 801 Red River
