Austin Town Hall

Long time ATH favorite Will Johnson had his session with the Woxy crew posted on their blog site a couple days ago.  Mr. Johnson plays 4 songs, including this gem “Almost Let You In” from his 2009 effort with Jason Molina.  I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this guy has one of the best and most unique voices in the business today.

So we’ve just heard news that WOXY, Voodoo Cowboy Entertainment, and Rare Magazine are joining forces to put on an ACL after party featuring Canadian supergroup Broken Social Scene.  The event will be taking place at the Seaholm Power Plant on the first night of ACL (10/2).  Things will get started at 10pm and the event is totally free!  RSVP here.  I’m going to dare say that you might want to show up early if you plan on getting in.  Stay tuned for information on what they have planned for Saturday night.

I hope you’ve heard that indie radio station Woxy is making a move to Austin and plans to start broadcasting and setting up live sessions in the live music capitol.  We couldn’t be more excited to welcome the crew to town!  To celebrate their arrival, the station is putting on one hell of a party at Scoot Inn on Sunday evening.  The lineup features up and comers Black Before Red, English Teeth, TV Torso, and Martin Crane of Brazos.  You can also expect some sweet drink specials and BBQ, Sweet Leaf Tea, and Titos Vodka.  Sunday evening never looked so promising.
