Music Monday Vol 9.

Another week another Music Monday! I Hope everyone’s weekend was awesome! I had a blastie blast of a weekend, I traveled to Abilene, my home away from home, home :-). I spent a great amount of time with my little cousins and my “sisters” Tia and Tascha. Tia is a hairstylist in Abilene so if you’re in the area and need your hair did, let me know and I’ll take you to Tia! I’ll blog more about my weekend trip soon, I’ll have some photos to show you too! But let’s get to Music Monday!

* Stoney Larue. He’s in the TX Music genre but I feel like his music shouldn’t be pigeon-holed into that category only. His songs are well written and his voice is amazing! I just wish he toured and put out more records, but you can’t rush greatness! He will be at Larry Joe Taylor’s Music Fest and cook off in April. I’m hoping to be able to shoot the festival and report it to you guys and also AustinTXLive. Back to Stoney, some of my favorite songs are: Oklahoma Breakdown, One Chord Song, Down in Flames, Let Me Hold You.

* Cross Canadian Ragweed. Love these guys. I love their old stuff as well as their new stuff. Cody Canada just might be a genius. Not just might be, let me retract.. he IS a genius! They’ve been around for a long time and they are one of the most popular bands in the TX Music scene. Their shows are always fun. They are always full of music, witty comments and of course greatness! Definitely check them out when they are in  your town!

* Brian Burke Band. I got to see these guys when they opened for Kyle Park a couple of weeks ago. They are a relatively new band but I dig their music. I enjoyed photographing them and even more, I loved their cd they gave out. They are from the DFW area and I’ll divulge more about them when I write my review about their show for AustinTXLive. You can download their album for $5 on iTunes. I mean come on, it’s $5 you can do it! 🙂

Those are my recommendations for this week. As you can see, I’ve been in a TX Music mood this past week. I think it has to do with the fact I was in Abilene for four days! hahaha Check back for more blog posts and photos this week! For now here are a couple sneak peaks from Kyle Park!

Love it, live it, capture it!
