SORRY, FOLKS BUT 110 IS JUST TOO DANG HOT!

We’ll do our best to find another date for The Harmony Brothers!

————-

Max Nofziger, Al Dressen, and Mark Gottschall

These three began rehearsing together in the summer of 2009, and haven’t stopped, since! They boast a set list of classic rock songs from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, with a few others thrown in. Al leads most of the vocals and Mark plays a mean 12-string guitar, while the three harmonize so well you’d think they were actually related! If you are attracted to three part harmony on songs from an era of great melodies, the Harmony Brothers deserve your attention. They’re a “Blast from the past,” they are “Peace, Love and Harmony,” and they will make you want to smile, clap your hands, sing along, sometimes close your eyes and dream, and maybe even yodel!

South/Westgate – August 14 ,2011, 7-9pm

JIMI LEE returns to Hyde Park Bar & Grill with new talent to shake things up at Westgate on Tuesday evenings in August. This smokin’ harmonica player and award-winning songwriter/performer has been turning heads for quite a while. In fact, the Austin music scene has already awarded him “pre-legendary” status!

8/2 WHITNEY CONWELL grew up searching for music which reached him on an emotional level…blues, soul, early R&B, twangy country and western swing. Inspired by Chuck Berry, Howlin’ Wolf, Bobby Bland and Junior Parker, Big Joe Turner, Hound Dog Taylor, Buddy Holly, Commander Cody, and Asleep At The Wheel, he has sung and played guitar and tenor sax from New England to San Diego. Since 2003, he has written, recorded and performed in Austin.

8/9 TONY AIROLDI plays a South Austin Gypsy Jazz inspired by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli’s “Swing Manouche.” With his blend of authentic Gypsy Jazz and modern, contemporary Latin influence, his music can transport you to the heart of Paris and the Mediterranean shores of Barcelona with passionate, ambient rhythms; providing an energetic and engaging entertainment experience. Learn more at http://tonyairoldi.com/.

8/16 DEWAYNE DAVIS is a singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter who has played all over the USA, and abroad. Immersed in the Austin blues scene throughout the past three decades, he has played alongside countless artists.  Since 1991, he has fronted his own band. DeWayne incorporates his original music (with twists of Texas-style Blues, County, Jazz, and Roots rock), and selections from 300+ cover tunes into his shows.

8/23 GREG IZOR is one of the rising powerhouses in the world of blues harmonica. Effortlessly blending the sounds of South Louisiana, Chicago, and Texas he creates a deeply rooted traditional sound that is unique and fresh. In his twenties, he studied in New Orleans  under the wing of one of today’s greatest harmonica players, Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone, developing his fiery showmanship on Bourbon Street. Izor’s songwriting and playing shows the influence of the harmonica masters, as well as Louisiana blues, southern soul, swamp pop, early jazz, and R&B.

8/30 ROB ROY PARNELL ” …delivers a winning and sterling set of roadhouse blues a la Delbert McClinton that travels through the range of Texas styles and modes with the assurance of a new crown prince of the scene.”  –Texas Music magazine

8/2 Jimi Lee and Whitney Conwell, 7-9pm
