"As a native of Austin, Will provides the ultimate introduction to a number of the city's finest musicians performing in a wide range of musical genres (e.g. acoustic, swing, country, and jazz.) In a city where a newbie could easily be overwhelmed by the choices, Will has curated an experience that can serve as a satisfying sampler or set the stage for exploring more. You can't go wrong starting your exposure to Austin's eclectic entertainment scene aided by his talent, knowledge and connections. A wonderful time was had by all. " - Natalie
"I liked the evening and we could not have had this experience without Will's work. As an outsider to Austin who wanted the evening music experience, it was terrific and I recommend it without reservation." - Peter "Fantastic night of music, food, and Austin, and great stories about Austin, music, and food. Will and Karen were consummate hosts, not to mention a great music duo themselves. Their laid back style complemented the venues, and they showed a savvy combination of flexibility and planning. We had a big group and I appreciated their allowing for a size in excess of their stated maximum. And the music! Dale Watson was a highlight, I stood unabashedly in front of the horn section just marveling at the tight chops, interplay between players, and general sense of fun. Thanks to everybody, aces all around!" - Stephen |
