Balcony TV Recommends … Dawn & Hawkes – CANCELLED FOR RAIN!

This show Cancelled for Rain — we’ll have them back as soon as we can!

Miranda Dawn is a talented young artist with a knack for making stuff happen.

Dawn & Hawkes play Hyde Park Bar & Grill south on Tues, May 8, 7 to 9pm

She won our hearts in her Balcony TV Austin appearance with Miranda Dawn & The Lucky Break Horns, and on Tuesday, May 8 she’ll appear at Hyde Park Bar & Grill south on with the equally talented Chris Hawkes.  This songwriting duo draws on their independent careers as solo performers;  deeply rooted in the lone star state’s mix of influences in folk-rock, country,  rhythm & blues. The two met while dancing in a legendary blues juke joint, in Austin, and later began songwriting and touring together as Dawn & Hawkes.  Performing as a duo or with their full band, Dawn & Hawkes combine harmonies, crafted lyrics and stories with a charming chemistry on stage.

Check out their song Forever Happily here!

In 2011, each independently released solo albums: Chris Hawkes’s “Broken Record” and Miranda Dawn’s “Reason to Feel Alive”. A collaborative debut, featuring co-written material the two crafted, mostly while on tour together, is soon to be released.

Miranda Dawn & Chris Hawkes both outstanding writers and performers in their own right, have teamed up to create a performance that multiplies their talents” (Daren Appelt)

The two voices intertwine as if made to sing together” (Serenity Fisher)

First Fork Art Celebration!

First Fork Art Celebration!

Choc-covered heart unveiling

New Fork art unveiled Fri, Feb 6, 2010

Artist Dale Whistler unveiled the new Fork art with a flourish on Friday afternoon, Feb 6,  cheered on by a handful of onlookers.  The new art is a plump red heart “dipped” in yummy-looking chocolate, complete with luscious drips down one side.

Attendees were treated to a chocolate-covered strawberry.  This was our first Fork art party, but it won’t be the last.  What will the art be next?  (What do you think it should be?)  Stay tuned!

Phoebe Hunt at Hyde Park Bar & Grill south – May 6!

The phabulous Phoebe brings her phiddle and lovely self and songs to Hyde Park Bar & Grill south on May 6, 2012.

Phoebe Hunt plays the patio at Hyde Park south on May 8.

Once again, count yourself lucky if you’re able to attend this show.  We showcase music early in the week, early in the evening so folks with early schedules can experience some of Austin’s finest talents.  Phoebe Hunt fits the bill.

She’s added her unique sparkle to bands such as The Hudsons, The Belleville Outfit, and recorded with Warren Hood.

Now she’s got some songs of her own to share, and she’s got something to say.

We suggest pairing the Phoebe Hunt Project with something healthy, invigorating, and slightly intoxicating — our  Eggplant with Fettuccine would be ideal: Breaded eggplant cutlets served with egg fettuccine, creamy vodka sauce, fresh basil pesto and shredded parmesan.  $9.95  Add a glass of a fabulous white wine or some fresh squeezed lemonade.  Finish with one of tonight’s home-baked desserts, perhaps the Blueberry Peach CobblerAn individual cobbler with a filling of sweet blueberries and peaches, topped with a flaky home made crust.

Music Season 2012

It’s Patio Season! Live music on the patio Sundays & Tuesdays at Hyde Park Bar & Grill south at Westgate, mid-March thru mid-Nov.


Presenting music is a double-edged sword.  It’s a pleasure because the phenomenal amount of talent in Central Texas means that we have some wonderful musical moments on our patio.  But there’s pain, too, because the limits of time & space & restaurants mean we can’t accommodate all the bands & artists we’d love to have play.

For the 2012 Season, we’re doing our best to balance long-time favorites with new choices.

Here’s what we have in mind:

1st Sunday of the Month – Wildcard — old favorites, new favorites or something completely different! Stay tuned …

2nd Sunday of the Month – Jazz - Calico Jazz Trio will play April / May / June

3rd Sunday of the Month – Bluegrass / Country / Americana – AirCargo

Last Sunday of the Month – Swing & Jazz — The Jitterbug Vipers!!

1st Tuesday of the Month – Bluesday / Jazzday Tuesday with Jimi Lee — his Bluesday Tuesday shows are a crowd favorite!

2nd Tuesday of the Month – Wildcard2 (same as above)

3rd Tuesday of the Month – Balcony TV Recommends … - we’ll feature bands recommended by our friends at the internationally-known viral music video show, Balcony TV.  (note: this is NOT taped)

Last Tuesday of the Month — Chicken Fried Chick-A-Thon – celebrating Texas women in music — the divine Miz Natalie Zoe will play with a featured guest each month Mar – May.

  • 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.

Edison Chair – music on the patio, Sunday, April 1

We ain’t foolin’ on this one.   Edison Chair will play the patio at Hyde Park Bar & Grill south on Sunday, April 1.

Edison Chair plays Hyde Park Bar & Grill south on April 1!

These guys first came to our attention a few years ago at a teen band event, where their harmonies and songwriting made them a standout.  Now Martin AkerWill BryantWes Armstrong and Cord Jackson of  Edison Chair have a few more years on them and a lot more tunes to share with you.

An energetic four piece rock band from Austin Texas, Edison Chair honors the style of timeless rock such as The Who and The Beatles, while making innovative strides in the wake of popular modern bands such as The Fratellis and Oasis. Formed in 2007, the band quickly attracted attention from multi-platinum producers and major labels such as Interscope Records. With three part harmonies and songs you’ll be singing long after the show, Edison Chair has developed a sound that will be hard to forget.

Listen HERE.

Balcony TV Recommends….Chase Gassaway + Jordan Whitmore

For our second Balcony TV Recommends… show, we present 2 artists:  Chase Gassaway & Jordan Whitmore.

Chase Gassaway is the 2nd artist recommended to us by Balcony TV

In his Balcony TV Austin performance, Chase Gassaway made impressed the producers enough to garner a recommendation from them for our series.

Originally located in Arlington, TX, Chase moved to Abilene, TX in 2003 to study music composition and theory at Hardin-Simmons University. Having formally only worked under other efforts as a hired gun, it wasn’t until then that he pursued his solo career in music.

Studying under Dr. Bernard Scherr, Chase polished his chops as a composer, creating works for a variety of ensembles ranging from chamber music, choir, percussion ensemble to full orchestra.

He studied classical guitar privately under Dan Mitchell for 3 years and voice with Dr. Kecia Ashford for 2 years, but has been seen performing a variety of things on stage including – electric/acoustic guitar, keys, bass, percussion, harmonica, accordion, bells, and trombone.

His first commercial release of original music was the Black As My Coffee EP in 2005 featuring his songs and his first stab at studio orchestration.

In 2009, he and his wife, Kassie, moved to Austin, TX, where he is now a full time, working musician. Besides his solo efforts, he is a regular member of Nathan Hubble’s band and a Motown cover band called MatchMaker Band.

In the fall of 2010, he was commissioned to score the short film, Take Two directed by Matthew Tibbenham. The score contained works for string quartet, mixed folk ensembles, and pop songs.

In the winter of 2011, he formed Canaries In The Coal Mine with fellow songwriter Jordan Whitmore. Their first project was a Christmas album called Scarf Weather, which contained originals and holiday favorites.

Jordan Whitmore will join Chase Gassaway for our 2nd Balcony TV Recommends ... show

Chase suggested Jordan Whitmore as a second act for the evening for which we invited him to play.  Jordan will make her Balcony TV Austin appearance in April, in advance of this writing.  If you haven’t heard of Jordan Whitmore, it’s not because you’re out of the loop. Until she made her subtle entrance into the world of live performance just two years ago, the Dallas native primarily shared her musical talents with only those closest to her. Previously an ultra-timid pop singer/songwriter, Jordan has since pushed beyond her own personal boundaries to share her music with the greater Austin area.

Balcony TV is a little ol’ online music video show that started in Dublin, Ireland in 2006 and grew to be in 30 cities around the world, from Atlanta to Vienna, garnering millions of views. The Austin show has been going strong now for more than a year and they’re recommending artists to play at Hyde Park Bar & Grill.

To make those evenings even better, Tuesdays is a Tony’s Southern Fried Chicken night, too!
