The Deer, Live & Direct

By: Laurie Gallardo

The Austin Music Minute is giving you an early heads-up on a livestream happening at the end of the week! (And yes, it’s a longtime AMM favorite…)

Last year marked the much-anticipated release of Do No Harm by Austin-based outfit The Deer. From the airy melodies of opener “Confetti To The Hurricane” through the gorgeous vibrations of final track “Walking In Space,” the entire LP is another beautiful vision brought to life by songwriter/vocalist Grace Rowland and her insanely talented band. Don’t miss a livestream performance by The Deer on Friday, November 6, at 5 p.m. (Central) on the next episode of Bud’s Live and Direct, presented by Bud’s Recording Services on their YouTube channel.

The Fire

Harry Edohoukwa‘s impassioned debut Fire on the Mountain is, without hesitation, the fire within. Edohoukwa’s powerful voice manifests the turmoil ravaging his soul. From the very first breath on opening track “No Rule” (featured on today’s AMM) Edohoukwa agonizes over what piece he’s missing in the puzzle – or why there’s even a puzzle in […]

I Am Here All Day

It’s all in the eyes. Whether striking an intriguing pose, such as Lindsay Mackin (Annabelle Chairlegs) holding a gilded framework mirror; or holding one’s guitar, like Carrie Fussell (Calliope Musicals) or Jackie Venson; or riffin’ on what would typically be relaxing moments, like Corey Baum (Croy and the Boys) at the grill, or Ray Prim […]
