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]

In music that has a groove, it’s never on the one. It’s on the two. And so it is with our 2nd Sync-o-pated Sundays series.
Calico Jazz Trio is a chill ride to a place where the jazz is hot and the players are cool jazz cats. It’s beatnik jazz for the new millenium, and not to be missed for jazz fans.
Calico Jazz Trio will play 2nd Sync-o-pated Sundays at Hyde Park Bar & Grill in 2012
Guitarist Patrick Mertens’ stylings mesh perfectly with percussionist Aaron Lemke and bassist Kai Roach’s righteous rhythms. No vocals, just sweet notes and a groove. Perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine and your main squeeze.
2nd Sundays, April – Nov at 7:00pm – Westgate

“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!

Inspired by her crazy roller coaster ride through life spanning the past decade, NATALIE ZOE‘s latest music is filled with every imaginable range of emotion, infusing slinky blues with hopeful songs of personal heartbreak, and topped off by that undeniable soulful voice for which this Austin vocalist is loved.

Our talented staff is proud to present their works in HPBnG Westgate’s latest gallery. It will be on display until October 1, 2011. View more artwork by clicking here.
- David Abel is a professional photographer, outdoorsman, an avid whitewater kayaker and rafter. In 1984 while studying Geology at the University of Texas in Austin, he was invited on a raft trip down Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park. David was so enamored by the river environment that he has devoted most of his life traveling North America in search of remote river canyons, capturing their beauty with his camera.
- Chris Connor was born and raised in Chicago, IL. He has spent the majority of his life in Dallas and the last seven years in Austin. Connor began painting in oils fifteen years ago, starting off as a hobby that turned into an obsession. Striving in every attempt to capture something fresh and exciting but at the same time, based upon traditional values.
- Mackenzie Graham was an art history major at the University of Texas who focuses her artistic interest with an academic and professional lens. Her concern for art extends beyond paint and canvas, reaching into the sphere of creative exposure and engaging local audiences in physical art. With oil paint and crayon, Mackenzie displays texture and color while realizing the limitations of her medium. She uses her ability to put perception to page to heighten her audience’s view of the world.
- Anne Ducote has resided in Austin since 1976. Over the years, travel has been a large part of her life, and as a result, her work reflects some of the beautiful places and things she has seen. Her creative endeavors have included her original paintings in oils, watercolors and pastel drawing, several print series and assorted prints, commercial work, faux finishing, murals, commissioned painting used on movie sets, portraiture, and the like. Her subjects range from the ordinary to the sublime.
