Let’s call this The Return of Whitey Conwell.
Make that The Triumphant Return of Whitey Conwell.
Whitey proved to be one of the most popular guests we’ve had, and with good reason.

Whitey Conwell plays a lot of instruments. But not all at once.
Richard Meltzer of the San Diego Reader says Whitey’s “…an ace of a blues/rock/rockabilly guitarist, Whitey sings/speaks/croaks with a voice from the timeless land of cigareets (sic) and whiskey, and at least the memory of wild, wild wimmen (sic)…”. Life – The daily Dose informs his every move, gives even his rigor a flexibilty, a subtle nuance, a shading.”
Whitey brings it. Come hear him!

For many of you Hyde Parkers, this could either be the very end of your summer or the first day of the new school year. But don’t fret! You can still enjoy great live music, tasty food, and weather that will take you away from all your current troubles!

Jimi Lee: An Old Favorite
Jimi Lee is back for Bluesday Tuesday and he’s bringing his famous “tools of his trade” with him. With a case full of harmonicas, an acoustic guitar and an abundant amount of humor, Mr. Jimi Lee is enjoyable for all. Remember folks: Just because summer is winding down, doesn’t mean you don’t have time for an Old Favorite.

It’s come to our attention that some people don’t think there is parking available for our original location in historic Hyde Park.
Take a look at this.

plenty of parking for our central Austin location behind the restaurant at 43rd & Ave H
Yes, that’s a parking lot. It’s right behind the restaurant/Quack’s etc at 43rd and Ave H. Easy in, easy out.
Come try it out.
