Although you wouldn’t know it by looking at a thermometer, fall is here and it’s time for the 5th Annual Gram Parsons Birthday Hoot, and I'm pretty darned excited about it!
On November 6th from 7 to 10:30PM at Threadgill’s World Headquarters in Austin, Texas, I'll once again gather an impressive collection of performers and celebrate the music of Gram Parsons, benefitting the Americana Music Association.
I'll lead the house band, as invited guest artists perform their favorite Gram Parson’s songs in this annual musical homage to the man whose influence on the artists and music of today’s Americana movement is still felt today.
This year’s event will benefit the Americana Music Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the genre of music that Parsons helped define.
