Photos from Austin - 1

Having returned from our US trip I will be putting a few music related photos on the Vinyl Word in the coming days. This first batch is from our stay in Austin, Texas, and the first photo is of Dale Watson at the Continental Club.

This is Lou Ann Barton who we saw at Antone's.

On our third night we caught a very entertaining tribute to Buddy Holly's 86th birthday featuring a host of artists, too many to cover in detail here. This is Rosie Flores.

Also on stage was Jimmie Dale Gilmore.

This is a statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan which is down by the river in Austin.

Just prior to the Eastside Kings Festival three blues artists played at Antone's. Here is Gypsy Mitchell.

Here is the second one, Ernie Johnson.

This is Taildragger.

On the first day of the Festival proper, this is (right) Johnny Nicholas, formerly of Asleep At The Wheel.

One of several lesser known artists, this is Soul Man Sam.

This is Keith Dunn.

A frequent visitor to the UK in the 90s, this is Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges.

Here is Amanda Dawson.

This is Little Jimmy Reed.

Finally in this Batch of photos here is the last live act of the afternoon, the Rising Stars Fife and Drum Band.
