Reason #60431 that Austin Rocks.
The work week may have been spent in the vast iciness of New York state, but Sunday was spent in the sun across from the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum, with some good campadres listening to friends on stage.
Ed, seen below, emailed a few of us in honor of his birthday to meet at the Texas State Arts Festival, to hear Nakia, and his Southern Cousins play a set. I hadn't heard him before live, rather only a few times on KGSR and seen him out socially from time to time. Honestly, he knocked my socks off, with the range and the passion of his music. Ed had seen him at Zach Scott theater as Eddie in their production of "Little Shop of Horrors", and I'm a believer now. Couple of camphone snapshots below, as well as a youtube video of Nakia Day at Austin City Hall. This town rocks.
