January/February Stuff...

Started the new year with a swingin' Trip Trio appearance on Larry Monroe's latest radio venture on KDRP Radio, Texas Radio Live, which he co-hosts every Wednesday with David Arnsberger in the back room at Guero's in South Austin. This show promises to become very popular as people learn of it, and when it warms up some, they'll be hosting shows live outside in Gueros' beer garden. We had a blast!

I've turned my attention to finding cool spots for the Trio to play over the winter months. We'll be playing Sunday, Feb., 19 at The Snug, the newest cool (and very comfy) music room in town--right next door to Antone's Records on the Drag--it's the side room of Tom's Tabooley. Tom & Brigid Abdenour, the co-hosts, are expanding their entertainment horizons for a variety of events including music (hence, us), movie nights, and even stand up comedy. Cleve & Sweet Mary will be following the trio on Sun., the 26th. I love the room and hope to help promote Sundays at The Snug. (See the poster below.)

We'll also be returning to my favorite South Austin venue, Curtis Clarke's Evangeline Cafe, on Wed., Feb. 22 (Washington's birthday). Dare I say, Curtis's kitchen puts out the best Cajun food in town and he is a true music empresario from way back. It's easy to let the good times roll there!

Greezy Wheels will be doing some Tuesdays down at Jovita's, sharing the nights with one of my absolute all-time favorites, Harvey "Tex" Thomas. Currently, he's got Tex Thomas and the Swingin' Richards. Starting Jan. 31, it will be the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays for the next couple months (and beyond?). This includes Valentine's Day--so consider us a romantic destination of the highest caliber!

I've added a cut from one of my favorite Greezy Wheels CDs, HiPop: White Fear in America. We don't perform it live anymore, but I like it, and in this time of political campaigns in America, I think it's somewhat fitting. Cleve wrote it, the Wheels arranged it. Chris Duarte guests on it. Hope ya like it.

See you out and about--I hope!
