Project ATX6: “Give Peace A Chance” feat. The Band of Heathens & Austin School of Rock

By: Jack Anderson

It’s almost Thanksgiving and everyone’s headed home…well, almost everyone. The troubadours of Project ATX6 are spreading their love from the Live Music Capital all the way out to Hanoi, Vietnam and wrapping up the week there with an appearance at Quest Festival.

This fifth season of all local musicians features members of Harvest Thieves, Calliope Musicals, Trouble in the Streets, Booher and Big Cedar Fever, as well as solo artist Jacob Alan Jaeger and you can expect the documentary feature of their journey together as Project ATX6 in the near future. Project ATX6 returns to White Horse on December 8th and releases a 7″ Vinyl in late January at Waterloo Records, with their finale concert happening sometime in spring.

A couple months back Project ATX6 hit the studio along with previous KUTX Artist of the Month Carson McHone, The Band of Heathens, Austin School of Rock and even our very own Laurie Gallardo for a cover of John Lennon’s “Give Peace A Chance” just in time for the most wholesome holiday of ’em all.

Logan Mize and Jill Martin: “Wrapped”

In the small riverside town of Clearwater, Kansas, claims to fame are few and far between. Now that’s not a slight on Clearwater; I’m well aware that we can’t all reside someplace with a prestigious nickname like “The Live Music Capital of the World”. But aside from adjacency to the historic Chisholm Trail and producing […]

grentperez: “When Christmas Comes Again”

If there are two genres that are grossly misunderstood by masses (and frankly abused) through pop culture soundtracks…they’re Christmas music and Bossa Nova. For the former, we’ve been conditioned to expect schmaltzy exchanges or comic Griswold-esque catastrophe. For the latter, it’s typically a toss-up between elevator music and sexy-yet-playful moods. But of course, both can […]

David Shabani: “Holiday Blues”

It’s the final five features for Song of the Day‘s 2022 season. We’re taking a vacation for a couple weeks, but don’t fret; we’ll be back bright and early next year. Until then we’re hanging some of the very best musical mistletoe of the past months, starting off with Austin’s own David Shabani. Born in […]

Grrrl Toy: “Bite!”

The way some people talk about solo singer-songwriters…seems like there’s a lot of complicated discourse around the whole “one-person act” aspect. We sometimes idolize (and frankly fetishize) unescorted performances by the likes of Norah Jones or Billie Eilish, but honestly, even with those examples I respect the hell out of a songwriter who recognizes the […]

waverly: “overcomplicated” (feat. mHart)

Trap-pop. It’s decidedly a young person’s game. I mean sure, you’ve got “older” folks like Drake and Doja Cat purveying it on the Billboard charts but really, the target demographic and the generation who’s going to take it to the next level are people in their teens and twenties. Which brings us to Wil Brookhart. […]

Daily Worker: “Irish Goodbye”

Austin area indie-rock/guitar-pop connoisseurs ought to be well acquainted with the legendary experimental outfit Cotton Mather. The core members of Cotton Mather have kept each other company for a little over two decades, albeit non-consecutive ones. And yet you might still be unfamiliar with Cotton Mather co-founder Harold Whit Williams’ solo endeavor, Daily Worker. To […]
