When I first came to Austin, it was a couple of years after recording with Jerry Jeff Walker (on LA Freeway, among others), and much to my delight, the Cosmic Cowboy scene was in full swing. My band Partners In Crime followed a bunch of great groups in and out of venues—Willie, Jerry Jeff, Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Lost Gonzo Band, Denim, Plum Nelly.
Imagine players from those bands sitting around reminiscing and playing all of the great songs of that era—that's the Lost Austin Band: Bob Livingston, Craig Hillis, Ernie Gammage, Bill Browder, David Moerbe, and yours truly. Great fun, great music.

When I heard my friend and sometimes musical co-conspirator Mary Battiata was playing at this festival, I checked out the line-up, and wow!...I immediately wrote her and asked to come play with her. She said yes, and I'm excited to be going.
Playing this cool, multi-venue music festival sponsored by KYFI radio.
This will be our first show since the shutdown in 2020. It promises to be a spirited show!
