Palo Duro

Formerly of indie rockers Gold Beach, Austin singer-songwriter Michael J. Winningham specializes in big-screen dramatics. Signed to Danger Mouse’s 30th Century label, he bowed as Palo Duro on September’s Ryou Cannon, a sweeping release of Afrobeat, subtle electronics, and surf rock. There’s meat on the bone live. – Kahron Spearman
