Local Music Showcase – Multiple AUSTIN Artists!!!
October 12, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Austin, TX bills itself as the “Live Music Capital of the World”. Every week, I’m meeting more local musicians, as I wander around, out on ‘the scene’. I’ve noticed an interesting trend – musicians are leaving Austin, and somehow ending up here, in sleepy, little Brattleboro…
You’ll hear from 3 of them, in this special Showcase.
Michael Ray – settling into retirement, traveling around the US, spending time with his children, and playing the guitar whenever and wherever he can! Not a bad life… And we’re lucky that one of those children lives in our area. Michael’s leans heavily into finger-style/claw-pick guitar, playing “acoustic punk, with country DNA”.
Josh Allen – got his start as a singer/songwriter, strumming an acoustic guitar. He spent much of the last two decades living and playing around Austin, TX, with his Whisky Brothers Band. He is Brattleboro’s most recent transplant from that very musical city, having made the move in just the last couple months. His influences include Mississippi John Hurt, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, and Tom Waits, and his music – half poetry, and half blues – is gritty and soulful.
Our Sleeping Giant – is Danny Gibbons. Danny writes heartfelt stories set to melodic tunes that come from a deep & personal place. He hopes by sharing his stories & experiences through music to make connections and help others through their own personal struggles.
