JON LANGFORD & STEVE WYNN

Art & Music & 20 Years of Yard Dog

August 31 – October 11

OPENING RECEPTION

AND 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4

7 – 9 PM

Artist/musicians Jon Langford & Steve Wynn will be in Austin on Friday, September 4, to help celebrate our 20th anniversary. We think it’s a big deal, and we hope you’ll join us if you can.

Jon Langford is a Welsh artist & musician (Mekons, Waco Brothers, Three Johns, etc) living in Chicago, Steve Wynn is an artist & musician (Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn & The Miracle Three, Gutterball) living in New York City. Yard Dog will be featuring original paintings by both artists. In addition, Steve Wynn will be drawing “instant album covers” to go with a limited edition cd that will be for sale.
The show is online now – check it out!

Steve will have a new album, available only from him, titled “solo! electric!”. The front cover is a hand drawn self-portrait of sorts but the inside panel of the digipack is left intentionally blank so that he can draw a new Instant Alternate Cover. He’ll be drawing instant album covers for anyone who buys the cd. There will also be some available for purchase online.

THEN please join us across the street at The world Famous Continental Club to hear the new songs!

Saturday, September 5: Jon Langford @10, Steve Wynn @midnight. 21+ only.
Advance tickets: $12

TIGHTENING MY AUSTIN//LA CIRCLE

SisterhoodBW

My very favorite part of booking has always been and still is the showcase. It was a huge thing in the days of full record company support and major label deals. I was the go-to girl to match make the right band to the right fans in front of media and I loved every moment of it. It was the opportunity for 200 or less people to say they were there. This was before social media but word of mouth lasted longer. I have missed everything about it. The moment I stepped into The Townsend I was hopeful and transported back to that feeling. Bands I love will have the chance to be heard with good sound, all eyes on them and with enough glamour on the walk to the show room that the feeling of anything possible can exist again! Thank you Kathy Valentine, Steven Weisburd and Justin Elliot for keeping the dream alive and well and fresh!

I’ve just booked Thursday Oct 22 for the first Austin appearance of The Sisterhood. I hope you will join us!
