I had been interested in this group since at least our last visit but this was the first time we got to see them play live. They play regularly around the area so it's our fault we hadn't caught them before (it's also a sign of how much good music there is in Austin). I have an iTunes copy of their "Keep Your Mouth Shut" (2016) album which is a nice mix of country & blues done up with some acoustic and a bit of electric. There's another album ("One More Time Again" 2013) and a recent single "Waiting on You Tonight" (2020). All of that I really like. Tonight's show was very much a hard rocking blues show and not quite what we had expected.
I suspect what you see is a function of who she has for a band. Some of the band tonight are different from what I had seen in her Youtube videos. The fellow on electric guitar took the lead on a number of songs and did lots of electric solos. Again, that's not quite what we're after. All that aside, it was a very good show.
The Little Longhorn Saloon is a very small honky-tonk with regular live music. We've seen Fingerpistol (they have a regular Tuesday residency) and Mike Stinson here (two favorite bands). It used to be called Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon but Ginny is now only around for chicken-shit bingo here and at C-boys. There's very little parking on site, and very little parking in the neighborhood.
Kate bought me a fancy craft beer of some sort -- there's a regular "Happy Hour" deal on Lone Star beer that you ought to take advantage of. Happy hour prices are something like $1.75 for a Lone Star -- she paid something like $8 for a craft beer. Kate had paid for my beer and some wine and got confused with the American paper money -- it all looks the same to us. The waitress came back to her and said, I think you gave me a $20 bill when you thought it was a $1 bill. Kate wasn't sure she had so said, keep it. Thereafter we got great service! It pays to tip.
