    Sterling Morrison's birthday w/ the Velvet Coverband

    It'd be a bold stance because he's not exactly a household name, but you could make the argument that guitarist Sterling Morrison was the most influential musician to ever call Austin home. His petri dish of musical production, four albums between 1967 and 1970, went on to fertilize generations of genres: punk, art-rock, experimental, indie, and alternative. Bands today wouldn't sound, look, or act the way they do if not for the Velvet Underground. While on tour in 1971, Morrison brought an empty suitcase to the Austin airport and, one step away from the gate, revealed to the band he co-founded that he wasn't going back to New York. For the next decade-plus, he led a relatively anonymous life in Austin, working as a teaching assistant at UT while earning his Ph.D. in medieval literature and playing at the Hole in the Wall and Soap Creek Saloon with local garage band the Bizarros. He eventually went to work as a tugboat captain in Houston, then toured Europe with a reunited Velvet Underground before dying of lymphoma on August 30, 1995, one day after his 53rd birthday. Hotel Vegas co-owner Jason McNeely reveres Morrison and sees his legacy in the music and aesthetic of the younger crowd populating his club. Every year, he celebrates the one-time local's birthday with a tribute concert. This iteration finds multi-instrumentalist Nolan Potter fronting the Velvet Coverband featuring members of Black Angels, Sailor Poon, Acid Carousel, Bad Markings, and Manifest Destiny's Child.
