I'm enjoying not having to drive out of town to play Friday night, and judging by those of you who are coming out to the Fox & Hound, a lot of other folks are enjoying it, too. This week, I'll be playing with one of my favorite Austin songwriters, Mandy Mercier, who will be backing me on fiddle and belting out some tunes from her eagerly-anticipated second CD.
Sunday evening, I'll be co-hosting the monthly Austin Peace Open Mike. As Dubya's approval ratings approach the freezing point and the Senate is asking for an exit strategy, it's a great time to take another little peace of your art, now, baby.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 6 to 8 p.m.
STEVE BROOKS with MANDY MERCIER
