I've got two local shows this weekend, before I hit the road for Kansas and points north. Thursday night will be one of my rare gigs with a band, and Saturday,...
A year and a half ago, as bombs began falling on Baghdad, I sent y'all a rant straight out of Lord of the Rings. The gist was that we are all Frodo, putting...
That's what happens when I get to ranting about orcs. I can't tell Friday from Saturday. Here's the corrected info on Kenny's: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 8 to 10...
A generation ago, when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize, the great smart-aleck Tom Lehrer declared that political satire was obsolete. Today, a fellow...
Late-breaking gig here folks, a perfect TGIF stop on the way home from work. With me will be my ace bassman, Seymour Guenther. We'll probably be downstairs,...
My first Texas show of the New Year will be undercover - as in, under cover of a couple of hundred feet of limestone. It's time for another unplugged Longhorn...
If you're not driving up to Burnet Saturday night to see me play in a cave, you can find great entertainment as close as the corner of 6th and Lamar. The...
It doesn't get much better than this. It's nice to be able to make tens of dollars a month in the music business, but it's nicer still to be recognized by your...
Thanks to sharp-eyed reader Martha Netters, it's been pointed out to me that Jan. 29 falls on a Saturday. As her reward, I promise not to play Margaritaville....
Okay, I'm double-proofreading this one. Common Grounds is a little off the beaten track - about five miles west of I-35, through a seemingly endless parade of...
Do y'all remember when our prez named Iran a charter member of the "Axis of Evil?" Well, Dick Cheney's old company, Halliburton, has just signed a $310 million...
This coming Sunday, Feb. 20, I'll be over in Webster, breathlessly waiting to see if I pick up a MyTexasMusic award. I'll let y'all know how it turns out. But...
I'm back in River City, after three glorious weeks in Florida and New Orleans, and this Thursday night, I'll be returning to Austin stages. I'll be playing a...
Oops. Turns out it was wishful thinking on my part that we start at 9. We're doing a late-nite show at the Fox & Hound, starting at 10. Of course, if you come...
One of the fun things about this job is the wide variety of places I get to play. I still get a little thrill out of playing a beer joint Saturday night and...
Back when I was a kid, my dad was an irrepressible punster. I admired his quick wit, and as my vocabulary expanded, I tried my best to imitate him. I was a bit...
Yes, it's the words that could happen. Saturday, it's time for one of those annual events that keeps Austin weird: the 28th Annual O.Henry Pun-Off World...
For those of you who've been wondering about the mystery woman from Florida who's been racking up my frequent driver miles, I'm pleased to announce you can...
I'm in the market for a housemate. If you know someone who's looking to move down South, feel free to pass this along to them. Depending on someone's needs,...
Yup, I'm home from Hawaii, just in time to co-host the monthly Peace Open Mike with fellow travelers Lisa Rogers and Tom Darilek. I'll be doing one more show...
Now that I'm home from Hawaii, I'm still in the market for a housemate. I'm sending this ad to my list a couple of days before I run it in the Statesman. If...
No, James Taylor wasn't available on short notice, but the other JT, Jeff Tveraas, plays better guitar, anyway. We'll be rockin' up the patio at Rover's, and...
It's been a lovely couple of weeks here in Florida, with no hurricanes on the horizon. I'll be back in Texas with a bang this weekend, playing at the...
I’m still getting over tonight in Crawford. It was my most memorable gig of the year. I hope I never get over it. Imagine this scene: The leader of the free...
Thanks to all of you who wrote me back about my jaunt to Crawford. Apparently, the story was forwarded widely - I got a thank-you note from a friend in...
That's right. You don't have to drive to Crawford to hear me play. I've got an Austin show coming up this Friday. With my stalwart bassman, C-More, I'll be...
I never use this list for commercial massages - er, messages - but I have to make an exception for my sweetheart. The talented hands of Paula Held will be in...
Thanks to all of you who have tried out Paula's talented hands on your backsides this trip. Saturday night, you can hear them do something else - strum a...
It's been years since I've played a weekly gig in Austin - not since the glory days of Hyde Park Unplugged at the New World Deli. So I'm pleased to report I'm...
The forecast for Friday is balmy, so you can look for me and Seymour on the third-floor patio at the Fox & Hound. Happy hour's from 6 to 8 p.m. We interrupt...
