Going to shows on only the weekends is for amateurs and the Hole in the Wall’s cozy front room remains Austin’s quintessential venue for off-night songwriter spectacles. Little Mazarn, the all-encompassing outsider folk vehicle of banjoist/cellist/bassist/vocalist Lindsey Verrill (typically accompanied by saw-bowing multi-instrumentalist Jeff Johnston), has been flipping through her Rolodex to assemble excellent lineups for a Tuesday residency. Week three features songwriter’s songwriter, painter, author, and indie folk everyman Will Johnson (of cult Texans Centro-matic and South San Gabriel) who recently posted a studio photo with Verrill as sets another stone in his towering solo discography. Also Hole-ing: Wilson Marks, purveyor of clever lyrical quirk and jazz-studied guitar skills whose compositions butter your brain delightfully.
