Mike Sailors' Good Time Orchestra

ATX trumpeter Mike Sailors reads the bible of bop, but that doesn’t mean he’s not up for pushing envelopes. Joined by his Good Time Orchestra, a self-described small big band that includes local luminaries Elias Haslanger, John Mills, Ryan Hagler, Matt Maldonado, and Daniel Dufour, the Butler School of Music lecturer presents a program of commissioned music lauding Marfa and West Texas, as well as a few of his other pieces. Special guests include steel guitar ace Bob Hoffnar, Grupo Fantasma percussionist Sweet Lou Holmes, Progger axeman Matt Muehling, and master trombonist Andre Hayward, so this should definitely be something spectacular. – Michael Toland
