Since childhood, Ash- Blaize has been singing and playing the keys. Ash-’s move to Austin eight years ago from southern Indiana brought him to coffeehouses and clubs around town playing solo, and later as co-frontman for Talk Means Trouble. Solo, now, and with the help of backing musicians Ben Haskin (bass) and Stew Lane (drums), Ash- presents his style and influencesduring live shows. At every Ash- Blaize show, you can expect a mix of keyboard driven ballads and dance infused pop songs, resonating vocals, and an amazing performance. Influences for Ash- Blaize include Tori Amos, Ben Folds, Imogen Heap and many others. Ash- Blaize released his debut album Letters To Andrea October, 21 2008. [Ash- Blaize website]

Calico Jazz Trio is a chill ride to a place where the jazz is hot and the players are cool college-age cats. Guitarist Patrick Mertens’ stylings mesh perfectly with percussionist Aaron Lemke and bassist Chris Ritchie’s righteous rhythms. No vocals, just sweet notes and a groove. Perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine and your main squeeze.

“Wow, here’s a young comer that has captured the industrial side of Emmylou Harris and has a better handle on it than Harris. While it’s always rough to follow in someone’s footsteps, the world wise Pierce brings her own stuff to the table and makes you wonder how the majors have missed out on her.” – Midwest Record Recap
“The first thing that jumps out at you when listening to Sarah Pierce is that voice. It’s powerful and emotional, a little bit country, and a little bit rock and roll. Pierce’s voice has been compared to Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith, Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin. That’s pretty impressive company.” – Suite 101
“SARAH PIERCE: One of the queens of the back 40, part singer/songwriter, part folk-rocker and part Austin good old girl, Pierce continues to solidify her skills. With a ton of roadwork between releases, you can feel what Pierce has absorbed along the way making each new outing a real new outing. Fueled by sharp writing and keen observation, this set is going to grab ears of singer/songwriter fans with both hands. Solid work from an artist with a lot on the ball and a lot to show for her effort.” – Midwest Record Recap

Fun fact! PAPER MACHE features HPBnG staff!
In a culture of predictability and contrived emotion, honesty is the currency by which art is valued. Paper Mache has built its reputation on lyrical substance and continues to build a national fan base through extensive touring and inventive promotion. This Texas based four-piece creates a continually evolving sound that embraces the acoustic sparsity of acts like Bright Eyes as well as the rich textures of bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Brand New.

WHO is the most interesting person in Austin?
…we want to bring them to Hyde Park, so YOU can have the opportunity to have dinner with them.
Hyde Park Bar & Grill is teaming up with Qarnival.com to bring social dining to our restaurant, and we’re making a list of intriguing Austinites we might ask to host the meals and reflect the true spirit of Austin.
What is “Qarnival,” you ask? It’s a website which coordinates meals at local restaurants for guests to make new connections, and expand their personal and professional networks. The gatherings are often hosted by an inspiring individual to help kick off the conversation!
Guests who purchase a seat at the table through Qarnival will receive a three course meal (and possibly even an exclusive dish!) and an incredible networking opportunity. To top it off, we’re donating a portion of the proceeds to People’s Community Clinic!
Seats are availible on a first come, first serve basis. To participate, you must reserve your place through Qarnival.com; $25 covers meal, tax, and tip.
First “Spirit of Austin” HPBnG Qarnival:
Coming Soon to Duval!
