Enjoy the hot picking and lush harmonies of AirCargo on the 3rd Sunday of each month from now for awhile on .....

AirCargo is the trio of music prodigies Ray Cargo, Randy Collier and Kevin Willette.

They perform pure acoustic music of bluegrass influence and instrumentation.

Between the 3 of them, they have a combined one hundred twenty-five years of musicianship.  (These are the kind of guys who can play anything with strings. And, with Randy being the former president of the Old Settlers Music Festival, we figure he knows a thing or two about music.)

So come on by, 7 to 9 pm on the 3rd Sunday of each month from now until we decide not to do it anymore! (or until it gets cold in November, whichever happens first)

AIRCARGO – bluegrass flavored music

Hyde Park Bar & Grill south at Westgate

3rd Sunday of each month, 7 to 9pm

• All Hyde Park Bar & Grill performances are weather permitting.
• Performances are usually presented “house concert” style: meaning no formal cover, but a contribution to the band is expected.
• Please allow us to seat you and leave tables open for those who are dining.  Chairs and benches are also available.

Hyde Park Bar & Grill is an Austin restaurant famous for our fries, a giant Fork, and friendly service. When you’re looking for a casual restaurant in Austin, a great place to eat, free WiFi, wine bar, desserts, burgers, vegetarian options, or a friendly bar, check out one of our two locations:  the original at 4206 Duval and the south location at 4521 Westgate in the Central Market south shopping center, close to Yoga Yoga, Whole Earth, Amy’s Ice Cream and Regal Movie Theatre.

We serve up turkey and all the trimmings, you come in with your family, friends, loved ones, not-so-loved ones, whomever …eat and enjoy.  No dishes to wash, no fretting over a turkey, no getting the fancy tablecloth off the top shelf of the closet — just great food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Felice House

“To portray women without objectifying them is an intentional, political act. The art historical tradition is to paint women to extol their sexual beauty and to encourage possessiveness. There is a new guard of women painters who provide a counterpoint to this tradition by depicting a more multifaceted version of the female psyche. I align myself as an artist with them by attempting to broaden the depiction of women as subjects in painting. My subjects are beautiful and observable, but not consumable. They are more public than private and more iconic than intimate. My paintings have a strong connection to traditional portraiture in both style and technique. However, my subjects are contemporized through the use of modern fashion, unexpected facial expressions, unique color relationships and photographic cropping.” ~FELICE HOUSE

Dana Younger

Dana Younger, VP of Blue Genie Art, is truly a man for all seasons. Besides being a painter, sculptor, mold maker, and computer artist, Dana is one of the chief innovators at Blue Genie Art. His Fascination with the creative process and all types of matreials keeps Blue Genie Art on the cutting edge. Essentially, he is a one man research and development team, and it was on his urging that [they] recently acquired [a] new 3D laser scanner and 3 axis CNC milling machine and our Polyurea spray equipment.

Dana also had an unusual childhood, including building and living in a log cabin without electricity (his stories of walking in the snow for miles to get to school are actually true!) and living on the Pacific Ocean in a sail boat.
