To The Beautiful Fools

By: Laurie Gallardo

Your Austin Music Minute host has it on good authority that Sara Houser is one of the hardest working individuals in the local music community. The songwriter and front woman for ATX band Löwin can also count music instructor on her CV, in addition to badass-musician-for-hire and in-demand vocalist when outfits like Golden Dawn Arkestra come calling for additional layers of awesome. But Löwin takes precedence, and the band’s delivered a glimmering track with those sweet, sweet Houser vocals to follow you into your dreams.

The super-synthed “A Fool For Thinking” is the first of a collection of tracks Houser has on the ready for future Löwin single releases throughout the year, and tonight the band celebrates with a big show at Cheer Up Charlie’s, 901 Red River. The entire bill is on fire –  Slomo Drags, Yukon Gold and Urban Heat Island Effect. The music kicks off at 9 p.m.

So very recommended.

The track featured on today’s AMM is Trinidad Jame$‘ “Say It Loud (T.I.B.E)” – instantly a solid foundation for a collaborative project with Big K.R.I.T. and CyHi the Prynce that dialed it up even further. “Say It Loud” was already a banger; the trio took it to another level, honoring a power that will not […]
