20 Questions: Eleven Hundred Springs

Eleven Hundred Springs have been kicking around the Texas Music scene for a decade or more. Led by Matt Hillyer, the group from Dallas has carved out their own niche in this crowded scene. They have managed to combine all the best elements of the Bakersfield, Red Dirt, Texas, rockabilly, and even a smidge of punk to create something all their own. With the release of their latest and most buzzed about album, Country Jam, I took the opportunity to pick Matt the Cat's brain about their career and music in general. Check out the latest edition of 20 Questions with Eleven Hundred Springs!

Brad's 2008 LJT Review Ramble

Even Mother Nature decided she wasn’t going to miss the 20th edition of LJT’s Texas Music Festival. Over 33,000 people took in the festival as storms on Wednesday evening and a blustery cold front late Saturday night provided for unpleasant bookends this year. Yet, as always, the music and the memories triumphed over it all to produce one of my favorite LJTs in over a decade of attendance.

(More photos will be added as I collect them.)

20 Questions: Modern Day Drifters

Modern Day Drifters are a band making waves in the Texas and Americana scenes with their diverse blend of styles. Led by co-lead vocalists, Kristen Kelly and Joe Churchill, the Drifters weave their way through highways both literal and metaphorical. They inhabit and express all the places people visit in the highways of their mind and the backroads of their good times. Survivors of other bands, Kelly and Churchill learned as backing members what and what not to do with a band. Their experiences helped them create a vision for Modern Day Drifters. Thusfar, that vision has been steadily realized through hard work, determination and talent. The contrast of Kelly's bluesy vocals and Churchill's laid back yet wise vibe have combined to make them a band to watch.
