Pecan Street Funstival

I attended the Pecan Street Festival on the 26th and 27th of September for about 2 hours, and remained fairly near the main stage, because I was still in a cast and on crutches at the time. I made a super shaky video of what I saw and heard - it's difficult to strap on a tripod when you yourself are somewhat of a monopod - but I think it will give you the gist of the vibe there. Plus, you'll get to hear live performances by two talented Austin groups, The Alice Rose and Sahara Smith. Watch and listen away:

Podcast - Collapsing Horse

Consider my podcast, Listen Local, well, live! My first episode is posted, and you can subscribe right here.

Just what is Listen Local, you ask? This podcast features local musicians and bands. I'll interview member(s) to discover how they got into music, why they're in Austin, what their future plans are, and other interesting band stats. Wanna know about a particular local band or musician? Drop me a note in the comments, and I'll see what I can do!

The first episode features an interview with Lawrence Lander, the lead singer of Austin band Collapsing Horse. You'll notice that there are 2 versions of this podcast. For the quick-n-dirty about the band, there is a shorter version of the podcast; for those of you who wanna go deeper, check out the extended version. If you've got the time, I highly recommend the extended version.
