Texas Standard 10th Birthday w/ Erika Wennerstrom

Color me surprised to learn KUT News’ Texas Standard is only celebrating a decade! The daily news radio show speaks with such authority you’d think it has always been a thing. To toast its 10 years, they’ll party with birthday cake, special Texas-themed treats and tipples, and a cash bar, along with previewing new content and offering uniquely Austin entertainment: Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards provides toe-tapping tunes and Typewriter Rodeo taps out custom on-the-spot poems. Special guest highlights include author Sarah Bird (Juneteenth Rodeo) and “MexAmericana” singer-songwriter and historian Veronique Medrano. Here’s to 10 more years! – Kat McNevins
