Good Texas singer-songwriter -- he wrote the song "The Weary Kind" from the movie Crazy Heart.

Absolutely worth checking out. He's more in the Townes Van Zandt/Guy Clark vein than what you probably think of as Texas country music.

Already got my tickets...bizzare venue choice mind Still, there will be cheese and beer!

The venue isn't the Viadukt Markthalle restaurant, but the Viadukt restaurant in one of the arches. It is a tad confusing.

Yeah, it got me the first time too. It's actually a nice venue for a smaller show. I saw Scott Biram there a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it.

Balls. I was hoping for a nice reserved seat at the bar with the beer top-ups on demand

Thanks for the post! Would have never known.
Sounds great, am probably going.
Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,
Rosanne

Btw - there's a jeff bridges special this month at Xenix, i believe they're screening Crazy Heart sometime next week; should you want to stay in the same mood.

OH NO!
Concert is sold out... Well, i guess it'll be just the movie then..
Or let me know if you have an extra ticket to sell!

Cheers,

Hi!

Looking for 2 tickets for this sold-out show tonight... please contact me if you know of any extras, thanks!!!!

I managed to get in by virtue of the fact that the sound guy is a fellow Houston Astros fan -- he's actually from a town near where I grew up too -- but I was fortunate for the hook-up. It was a really good show and quite crowded by the standards of the shows I've seen here. Not only that, but the crowd was very engaged, which always improves the experience.

Whoever is booking the Viadukt is doing nice job of getting solid Americana acts.
