Whoo hoo, the long holiday weekend is coming. Hope you are planning something fun. There are festivals and gigs and opportunities to blow it out everywhere for this rite of passage, the functional end of the summer season! If you are going to be around Austin or in the Hill Country of Texas, you might want to check out Hayes Carll's Labor Day Bash at Luckenbach, happening Sunday, September 5th, with a totally kick ass line-up: Alejandro Escovedo, Jesse Dayton, The Trishas, Corb Lund, John Evans Band, and Rosie Flores. Shilah Morrow, the empress impresario of Sin City Social Club put this fabulous day together with Hayes' camp and Abbey at Luckenbach. An aside, I was just out at Luckenbach this past Saturday to see Robyn Ludwick and her band rock out under the trees. She has a sultry and moody new CD coming early next year produced by Gurf Morlix!
Actually, allow me to digress even more, as we will be catching up with Hayes and band, and Corb Lund, from the above mentioned line-up, for the Music Fog cameras in Nashville at the Americana Music Festival coming up September 8th--11th. Can't wait for that, too! Music Fog will be at the Convention headquarters, the Sheraton Nashville Downtown Hotel, with our cameras rolling. I hesitate to tell you who all we have set to perform at our private video shoots, but suffice to say there are 25 plus and we are still confirming more. But I can tell you there is still availability to stay at the Sheraton every night but Saturday, for $189/night plus tax.
Again from the above mentioned line-up, we have a Rosie Flores video for you today, from our marathon sessions at Threadgill's in Austin, filmed during SXSW 2010. If you will recall, when we posted the last Rosie video, she was healing from her broken arm. Her summer has been busy nonetheless! From her blog, "September has us performing through the Southwest, where I’ll be spending my birthday on the 10th of September in Santa Fe, NM. Then heading to Greenbay, WI playing the Oneida Casino with Big Sandy, and then meeting up with Ruby James, Gail Davies and Chris Scruggs for a nice country festival in the South of France. Check my website at “Tour” for details. Cheers, Rosie." And let us cheer Rosie on, as she delivers "You Tear Me Up!" from Bandera Highway. Rockabilly in the grand style.
