Thursday at Meanwhile

Step up. It’s another excellent double bill of Austin artists bringing the music to Meanwhile Brewing Company tomorrow, Thursday Dec. 16. Singer/songwriter Nayome admits R&B is her first love, but the fuel for her recent recordings came from her desire to move into more experimental territory.

Golden

Before the intricate finger picking of Longriver, songwriter David Longoria was striking chords on a different plane with artists such as longtime AMM fave Bill Baird, and shredders like …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead.

10 Years of Honky Tonkin’

Ten years. Has it really flown by so quickly? It seems like only yesterday when Denis O’Donnell and Nathan Hill opened up the White Horse in 2011, in what used to be a Tejano bar of…slightly questionable repute.
