Two Texas country music shows of note
We normally post an Americana/alt-country/Texas country music roundup on Thursdays, but lately there have been midweek shows that deserve a mention.
That's surely true this week at the Mucky Duck.
Tuesday night, up-and-comer Randy Rogers will sit down with the legendary Kent Finlay of Cheatham Street Warehouse for a songwriters' night. Finlay has given many a Texas singer/songwriter a chance over the years, including Randy Rogers. Lately he's been suffering from some pretty serious health issues. It'll be my first time to see Finlay, and I'm looking forward to it. The show starts at 8:30 and is non-smoking, which should please a certain dermatologist-councilwoman.
Wednesday night, the legendary Joe Ely sits down for two separate acoustic shows that are also non-smoking. In the past, Ely has been joined in this setting by Joel Guzman, who is a genius with the accordion, but I don't know if that will be the case for these shows. No matter -- Ely can more than fill up the room himself.
I know I used the word "legendary" twice, but I'm not just throwing it around. Texas country music doesn't get any better than these two shows.
