He Is My Story: The Sanctified Soul of Arizona Dranes

In a recent interview on NPR, local writer Michael Corcoran commented that seminal gospel singer Arizona Dranes is “completely obscure, for really no good reason.” Unfortunately, that’s the story of far too many artists - musicians and otherwise. If Sister Rosetta Tharpe can be marginalized, no surprise Arizona Dranes is so overlooked.

Texas Music Roadtrip

Prices at the fuel pumps didn’t hit the scary highs predicted for this summer, but they still took a bite out of vacation budgets. Solution? Stay home and hit the road. The Texas Music Roadtrip, that is. All it costs is getting to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and admission, a bargain by any count.

Blue Monday

This has been a year of changes for Antone’s. The change in ownership to Emo’s went smoothly, if bittersweet. New blood fills the club, yet it’s hard saying goodbye to the old ways – and friends Hubert Sumlin and Doyle Bramhall. Tonight at 8pm, all the old mojo gets conjured up once again for a grand finale to the venue's 37th Anniversary month.

Salute to Saluté

Saluté went out this weekend partying with style and panache. The famed San Antonio bar struggled for years, and rumors of its death were common. After the wild weekend, it slipped into the pages of Texas music history, filed near Austin’s Liberty Lunch, Dallas’ Mother Blues, Houston’s Bronze Peacock, and other legendary Lone Star venues.

Library Rock!

“For more information about the Bright Light Social Hour, visit your local library!” It was a throwaway line BLSH used in promo materials, but it resonates in the city of Austin’s Music For Kids programs at select library branches. Monday featured Marcia Ball at the Spicewood Springs branch.

Puro Mojo

“In the midst of sassafras, many things will come to pass,” intoned Bubble Puppy’s 1969 hit, “Hot Smoke and Sassafras.” An unlikely mirror into the future to be sure, but then who would have predicted a lucky Friday the 13th pairing of Bubble Puppy and San Antonio's the Krayolas this week at Antone's?

MEOW Discoveries 2012

My favorite South by Southwest moments always seem to involve the Badge and “the Reveal,” as reality shows are so fond of saying. For this one, late Nineties, I was standing on the street scanning badges when my eyes stopped on Carla DiSantis. You mean Rockrgrl magazine maven? Seattle savior of women’s rock? Yes m'am!

Rodney Crowell Returns

When the right words and music meet, they take us places we never want to leave. And we won’t, because we then carry the songs within us. Writing books, Rodney Crowell will agree, is different. This Friday, June 29, 5pm, he reads from his memoir Chinaberry Sidewalks at Waterloo Records in advance of his Paramount Theatre appearance Saturday.
