The music began with Leeann who sang some welcome songs, earlier than Ben Jones entered the stage. He performed a wonderful solo set. He will get higher and higher, and shortly somebody should uncover his skills (aside from Brian Wilson, who has used him and Andrea Magee in his band these days).

After Ben Jones, Texas String Meeting was on, with up to date bluegrass. An awesome band that I want to hear extra of. In addition they got here again for a few songes whereas we waited for Jon Langford.

My favourite band at the present time was Madam Radar, who got here after the Texas String Meeting. They’re a four-piece band, and I’ve seen the electrical model of the band at The Saxon Pub.

Jon Langford is a daily at SXSW together with his totally different bands, The Wacos, The Jon Langford Band, generally The Mekons and normally yet another. His exhibits with these bands are nice, punkish, and with a number of humour. This yr I noticed him on the Yard Canine celebration, that was held at AGBG, and in an acoustic model at Leeann’s Picnic.

Possibly this format is the longer term for the Barn Dance, because it doesn’t contain so heavy logistics, and needs to be much less bothersome for these neighbors that doesn’t like individuals having enjoyable with good music the Sunday after SXSW?
