“BAND IN VANS EATING PLANTS.” That’s what drew your AMM host to the video. What the hell? Leave it to Austin Chronicle trippy troubadour Kevin Curtin to find an angle that piques the curiosity via Instagram. Curtin treats a musical guest to tasty sweets at Zucchini Kill Bakery on E. 53rd. And behold! Andrew Cashen […]

This talent definitely runs in the family. Grammy-nominated artist Emily King happens to be the daughter of singers Marion Cowings and Kim Kalesti. King’s NYC childhood was one filled with jazz and classical music, inspiration paving the way to a multitude of influences, from R&B to hip hop. By age 16, she was writing her […]

‘Tis a lovely night, indeed! Get thine ears to Hole In the Wall for an evening of inspiring music with three very special guests: It’s punk, folk, and trans and queer art reshaping the trad.-folk legacy. Self-proclaimed trans raconteur Creekbed Carter Hogan is slangin’ queergrass and bendin’ genres with great alacrity. Creekbed Carter’s Tiny Desk […]

The Lovely Night

This is the ultimate love language right here. Mix an abundance of harmonies, anthemic choruses and equally anthemic guitar solos, and the perfect amount of glorious angst, and you have The Living End, the second album from Sarah and The Sundays. The Austin-based band, by way of Connecticut, has also created something quite cathartic, an […]

Welcome to a not-so-ordinary listening experience… The AMM will not bog you down with blatherings-on about the magnificent musical complexities of Olson St. Clair.

Here are pages of an open book that’s still being written. The story emerged when 20-year-old Austin-based songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and filmmaker Ginger Rodriguez made her musical debut at age 17 with I’m Crying In A Cool Way. The fearlessness in Rodriguez’s vulnerability leaves you anticipating the next chapter. Last April, she released the follow-up, […]

There aren’t any ghosts in this godforsaken, murky old Gulf Coast motel you’re at, sunken in a bed that may not have been changed since the early ’80s. You’re just staring at the ceiling. An occasional side glance out the dirty window, or at that weird palm tree painting, but…no ghosts here. Only the ones […]

There’s also a constant internal dialogue examining […]

Keeping that in mind, the […]

Today’s Austin Music Minute was inspired by Ray Prim‘s soulful “Only Thing To Do.” Prim recently shared some of the lyrics on Instagram – and they pierce straight through the heart as the song leans into the struggle of these particularly trying times. “Yesterday is blurry / Tomorrow feels the same / The future is […]
