Catch me Friday, May 7 at CityArts Festival!

Dallas CityArts Festival

The Dallas entertainment folks asked me to submit a for my set, anchoring the Exposition stage from 9-10 p.m. Friday, May 7 at .

Had to look that up to find out a stage plot is a diagram of your band setup. Seemed pretty silly to draw a plot for just me and my guitar. But I made one anyway and dressed it up in Photoshop.

Oh, the show itself will suck. But my stage plot displays excellent initiative and an active mind!

An unaffiliated SXSW event

See me from 7:30-8 p.m. Saturday, March 20, at the Red River Art Party, 94 Red River Road at Willow Avenue in downtown Austin, just a couple of blocks from the convention center.

The production will take place on an outdoor stage at the studio of resident artist Mark Goad in the Lightning Flag and Banner building.

It’s an unaffiliated SXSW event! Continue reading

Screw you, I’m an outlaw, too

One thing that was obvious to me as I watched Ray Wylie Hubbard grind out his driving, bluesy anthems on a recent Saturday at Bill’s Records, is how these outlaw country artists really live the genre.

Bandana-wrapped, bristly, beery (or recovering from a life of beeriness), Ray Wylie and his junior outlaw pal, Guthrie Kennard, would rock day and night, even if KHYI 95.3 FM didn’t sponsor their shows, or fans didn’t pack the house to listen. Continue reading

Think good ol’ boy meets Moldy Peaches

I get a nice plug from Around Town reporter Lyndsay Knecht Milne at nbcdfw.com:

SNARKY FOLK: Sirius XM pseudo-celeb Ken Turetzky plays the anti-folk version of acoustic comedy. Think good ol’ boy meets the Moldy Peaches, and you’ll have an idea of what to expect. Hear his set pettered with four-letter words at Half Price Books on Northwest Highway, 7PM.

Now, who the heck are the Moldy Peaches? Continue reading

It’s just like being held hostage

I’m well aware these open mic sessions can drag on, as with a holiday party where you don’t know anyone and you spend the last hour plotting how to sneak out the front door like a burglar.

In fact, I recall one particular evening at the DFW Songwriters Open Mic when, about three hours into a two-hour event, a large fellow in a hoodie stepped up to the microphone, said, “My name is Lamar and this first song is called I Miss You,” and for the next 30 minutes entertained us a capella with a quavering falsetto that never quite found a melody.

I felt like a hostage. Continue reading
