(Hotel) Vegas, Baby

Recent temps outside feel too good to be true, so best take advantage of it and enjoy some live music outdoors. And today’s AMM features longtime fave Wil Cope doin’ the damn thing at The Left Side Vintage Market this week. The purveyor of “spooky tunez from the gumshoe lagoon” is officially bringing back the […]

Wednesday at Trace

Careless Creatures, last year’s release by Wiretree, is a return to songwriter/vocalist Kevin Peroni‘s musical roots. The five-track EP was recorded and performed entirely by Peroni – with the exception of “Back To the Start,” interestingly, because it really is back to the start. Wiretree began as Peroni’s solo project before the band took shape […]

Lunar Soundwaves

A little reminder of your Austin Music Minute host’s recent raves over music artist/producer Lunar Rae – keep your ears peeled for this multi-talented, multi-faceted artist with a resume that will blow your mind (Sir Woman, Jon Batiste, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, bassist/songwriter MonoNeon).

The expansive, luminous atmosphere undoubtedly comes […]

Can I Get A Witness?

It’s merely a matter of days before the Dirty Ol’ One Man Band known as Scott H. Biram hits the road again, turning venues upside down with his unhinged brand of country/punk/rock/psychotic hillbilly dirty blues consuming the ear holes of unsuspecting spectators. Good times.

Reflections…

-Photography by Kate Blaising. It started out with Royal Jelly (2015), Löwin‘s 7-track debut that placed songwriter/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Sara Houser in the limelight. Your AMM’s favorite picks: Opener “Best Laid Plans,” the exhausted narrator’s lament on “Move It Football Head,” and of course, “Big Mouth” tellin’ it like it is (“You’ve got a big mouth / […]
