T Jarrod Bonta @ The Broken Spoke (07/27/2011)

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Carole

Twice a month, T and the guys take up residence in the Broken Spoke’s front room for a couple of hours of great music with a featured guest. The guest tonight was Ms Rosie Flores! Nope, can’t miss that even if we have to leave work early to get there in time.

: Leader Of The Pack, T Jarrod Bonta himself :)

Jim’s Country Jam @ Waterloo Ice House (07/17/2011)

Posted on July 17, 2011 by Carole

What words can we use to describe the twice-a-month country jam at Waterloo Ice House? Pretty sure we’ve already used wonderful, entertaining, astounding, talented, fun, excellent, surprising, and several others. So, this time, all we’re gonna say is, “Ya shoulda been there!”. If you weren’t there, then all we can say is, “Ya missed a heck of a show and need to be at the next one!”.

Jim Stringer @ Giddy Ups (06/02/2011)

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Carole

It was another fun night when Jim Stringer and his AM Band took to the stage at Giddy Ups. That’s always to be expected, but there was added “fun” this time. First was special guest, Walt Lewis. We hadn’t heard Walt before although he’s no stranger to the Austin music scene…just hasn’t been playing much lately. Then, there were some special fans in the audience. There were two hearing impaired ladies. Their friends stood in front of the band and signed the songs to them. THAT was fun and interesting. Sweet sweet people! You just never know who will show up or what will happen when Jim and the guys play!

Jim Stringer @ Giddy Ups (03/31/2011)

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Carole

There are only so many words to describe the fun everyone has when Jim and the guys take to the stage. So, we’ve given up trying to find new ones. Whether it’s “Bobby Time, Bobby Time, Bobby Time” (a minimum of three songs made popular by someone named Bobby), music trivia, guests, original songs or covers, stories, or just plain good music, Jim and the guys entertain everyone, every time. They must do it for the love of what they’re doing because they give a full out show whether they’re playing to 10 or 10,000.

Jim Stringer & AM Band @ Giddy Ups (03/03/2011)

Posted on March 3, 2011 by Carole

Jim and the guys are scheduled to play at Giddy Ups the first and third Thursdays through May of this year. That means we get to see one of our favorite bands close to home for a while. Of course, if we can get everyone to start showing up, they might do this longer. After all, Jim’s Country Jam will be celebrating it’s third year at Waterloo Icehouse next month and that started with an “experiment”. The Thursday shows are early shows (7pm to 10pm) so we don’t have the excuse of having to work the next day. :) Another reason to be there is that you never know who will be in the audience that Jim might get to join him and the band on stage. Tonight it was Jim Lutz, Jason Arnold, and Beth Chrisman. Sure hope we can all help support this live music!

Thought you might enjoy this “little” instrumental. Well, Jim and the guys make it seem easy, but maybe not for the average person. :)

Dead Sweethearts Ball @ Ruta Maya (02/12/2011)

Posted on February 12, 2011 by Carole

Every year Valentines Day is set aside for lovers, except for one event…..the Dead Sweethearts Ball. The night is filled with murder and mayhem immortalized by some of the best musicians in town. The lovely Ms K keeps track of how many offed(?) as the crowd hoots and hollers at each killing. This year, the red hue of Ruta Maya added a special atmosphere to the festivities.

You never know in advance just who all will be taking to the stage but, the core band consists of Teri Joyce, Roger Wallace, Jim Stringer, T Jarrod Bonta, Lisa Pankratz, and Brad Fordham. ”Guests” this year included Ted Roddy, Jen Miori, The Carper Family, Suzanne Van Tassel, Brennan Leigh, Noel McKay, Ruby Dee, and……well, we’re sure we’re forgetting someone. :(

After the pictures, be sure to check out the video of Roger Wallace’s version of “Delilah” at the end. Looks like Roger was actually grinning…..an evil evil grin! :)
