Shortly after our time at ACL, we realized that we failed to interview any of our favorite local acts playing over the weekend.  To make up for our miscue, we caught up with up and coming Austin artist Black Joe Lewis via email.  Black Joe has been hard working hard and touring the country with his band The Honeybears after releasing his debut LP earlier this year.  Follow the jump to read full interview.

Li’l Cap’n Travis has always been one of our favorite Austin bands and we always make a point to check them out when they play around town.  So if you’re looking for some cheap local jams on Friday night, head to Continental Club for a set by the Austin alt-country band.  Fellow locals Leatherbag and Aaron Blount and The Mockingales will also be playing before the headliners.  Show starts around 10pm.
