Local blues fans will be proud to welcome recent Austin transplant Teddy Morgan to town. Along with his backing band The Pistolas, Morgan released two albums on Austin's prestigious Antone's Records imprint prior to last year's Lost Love and Highways , his first recording for the higher profile Hightone Records. And while he'll surely be taking to the highway from time to time, he doesn't have to worry about the lost love part of the equation anymore. Fittingly, he fell in love with one of its residents. Opening the show is Morgan's Hightone labelmate and ex-Lonesome Stranger Randy Weeks .
Admission is free.

We tend to associate the various forms of hillbilly music with the rural American backwoods, but two bands coming our way this week aim to dispel that notion. If you hadn't told me the Hi-Tones were from Holland, I'd never have known, and that says a lot. Joining them this week is the Starliners , a rockabilly and country swing band from Australia who have garnered comparisons to the likes of Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys.
