On the Hottest night of the series so far. Josh Abbott proved why his stock is going up on the scene. Good Show Good crowd lots of sweat...Me in White pants...that was my night.  Rob Baird got it started at 6:30 per usual and considering you could see the heat coming off the Hills parking lot pavement I was surprised how many people were there early on but, that says something about Rob.

I had decided to go to the mall and get a white T-shirt just because I knew the heat would be brutal. Little did I know I would let the Hot sales girl at whatever high end mall place talk me into getting way back Miami vice too expensive Diesel jeans. It only took me about 5 minutes of grief to realize this would be a tough night of heckling but, I digress...  Josh the eternal Texas Tech Red Raider fan has his "Roadtrippin" act together and had a LARGE rather young crowd. Can I point out that allot of ladies were there..I'm just sayin'.  We're in to the last couple of months in the Series and they're still a blast for Chris Mosser and I to be apart of. I don't take it for granted how fortunate we are to get to stand up on a stage (with white pants) and put on a Texas Music show every Wednesday....Next week Sean McConnell....I'll Skip the White Pants...

If you've wondered how people would react to Stoney Larue's live show considering he hasn't had an album out in a while. It only took till about 5:45 to see how much love that guy gets to figure it out. Stoney is one of my all time favorites simply because of his music but, his fans are incredibly loyal and follow him and show up early..even on a 99 degree day.  There was a line a mile long outside of Hills cafe to get in to see the Arsenals.  I got there early cause' Brandon Jenkins is both a nice guy and, a great songwriter.  Brandon as usual did a great job and cranked up the show at 6:30 with already an almost packed house.   I spent time on the road playing with Stoney's fiddle player Jeremy Watkins (Great guy and super friend) so, I was excited to see the guys and invited myself on the Stoney Bus (killer paint job) for some JaegerBomb shots.  Stoney played the part of bartender for all of us. Good Job on the shots Stoney. By the time Stoney hit the stage it was packed and the crowd was already at a fevered pitch. I loved the new tunes and Stoney hit us with almost 6 new tunes for the radio portion of the show. Mosser and I had a beer after we got off the air and both realized that Stoney still has major JUJU with his fans. They loved every tune!  Last night was the reason people call Austin the Live Music Capital of the World.  Great live music last night and a Great crowd....thanks to everyone that came out and participated with Chris and I on stage...Good Times.

Alright get on the Bandwagon. If you haven't realized it The Casey Donahew has blown up. Last year when they were on TMS I was curious to see how many people would show up and was surprised. I had heard Casey is selling out this and that and pulling an amazing crowd but, I hadn't seen it and personally we here that everyday. Everybody tries to sell us on the fact that their band has made it to that next level and "Blown Up." I got a brief glimpse last year when the crowd was huge but Wednesday night was completely "off the charts!"  It was the biggest crowd we've had all season and we're hearing it could be the biggest crowd EVER and that's saying allot. It was also the youngest "Best Looking" crowd we've seen.  When you see a huge crowd that is relatively young, you have to step back and take stock in the fact that there is a new guard and this band is NOT up and coming. They have arrived. The Casey Donahew Band is the new Party!
