Music Picks for Saturday, Feb 27th

Hurray for the Riff Raff - Marsh Woodwins - (blues, indie/gypsy/folk rock)

This promises to be a great show and is brought to us by Taint Radio www.taintradio.org Hurray for the Riff Raff is a New Orleans band that is well known on the Fringe scene down in the Big Easy - however they also split their time in Austin and have a sizeable following there as well.... Their musical stylings blend elements of folk, gypsy and some blues thrown in for good measure..... I actually caught a set of theirs last year at Ford Fest @ Big Top between the weeks of Jazz Fest. Very impressive - and a great music to allow you to sit, take a load off and enjoy the music. This band reminds me of what Leftover Salmon would sound like if they slowed down a bit... Talented vocals and musicians are what you will have in store and their musical style blends perfectly into the Carolina Folk Music Genre. Check out them at www.myspace.com/hurrayfortheriffraff - be sure to listen to "June Waltz" - it's perfect!
Samuel Doores - of New Orleans will open the evening - check him out at www.myspace.com/samdoores
Marsh Woodwins is located at 707 N. Person St - just North of the Old Krispy Kreme on the coner of Peace & Person. This is a "House Concert" - $10 bucks gets you great music and the chance to support at great little venue.... Show is EARLY - get there at around 8pm or so....
