After touring his latest CD : Still Fighting the War this time last year, Slaid Cleaves found his way back to the Fischer Haus Cantina in Fischer, Texas in the Hill Country somehwere between Wimberely and Blanco.
His musical chops earned and dues well paid : Not SXSW and not Not SXSW as well.
Accompanied by Chojo Jacques of Dripping Springs on fiddle and mandolin.
A tip of the hat to both musicians: balance and interplay, mutual respect for one another’s talents and skills.
Slaid has honed his craft well.
Great musicianship, stagecraft, songs and story telling.
Slaid and Chojo owned the Fischer audience:
Many were Hill Country Texans who related immediately and directly to Slaid’s stories, remembrances and song lyrics.
The Fischer Haus Cantina is a laid back open air venue, wonderful for the type of music presented here.
Expressive music played and voiced expressively.
A ‘Mainiac’ of a Texas Singer-Songwriter: great music and the perfect end to our Austin live music experience.

Destined for a new twice-the-size building!
Great place for kids. Great place for adults in the company of kids!
😉
Wyatt will attest to a wholly enjoyable and exhausting day.

Austin, Texas: The Live Music Capital of the World
Second Thursday of the month, Open Mic Bluegrass Night with Eddie Collins managing the flow and The New World Deli graciously providing the space. We went expecting college kids and young people shopping their bluegrass chops but instead found a bunch of second-lifers similar to ourselves ‘a pickin’ and a grinnin”. The three man bluegrass string band Flatiron shared the stage with Eddie Collins and any number of folks with stringed instruments willing to jump in for a song or two. The range was from ‘one and done’ to a number of folks with very polished presentations.
Capturing images was another case of ‘the tyranny of mic stand and cords’ combined with low light and a small stage space. We did our best.
The ‘crop tool’ earns high marks here.

Wide bluegrass envelope here : bluegrass flute!
Amazing number of banjo pickers in the crowd: Why is that?
‘Tie-Dye’ Jay Blincoe!
Her own words: ‘high maintenance ‘ and ‘naked without the guitar’!?!
We tried to do a fair and balanced job of capturing and presenting all the talent.
My apologies to the one bass player I know I missed.
Could have done better with folks names but maybe folks will supply me with names through their comments.
Great place: serving a good and hearty reuben sandwhich.
Good talent and friendly people – a super supportive atmosphere!
Nicely done Mr. Eddie Collins!
I would come back next month were I in town.
