Presenting established and emerging acoustic musicians in a family friendly, listener-oriented environment.
Open Ears Concerts is a monthly concert series at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas. We present established and emerging artists, mainly in acoustic genres such as folk, bluegrass, world, and jazz, in a family-friendly, peaceful, listener-oriented environment. We are located on Wells Branch Parkway, just west of IH-35, at the corner of Wells Port Drive. We provide free organic fair trade coffee, and bottled water and soft drinks are available for purchase. Many attendees bring snacks to share.
The Flyin' A's w/Danny Britt
Friday February 10, 2012
The Flyin' A's are husband and wife duo Hilary and Stuart Adamson, who play an infectious blend of folk, rock, country, blues, and gospel they call "texified jazz." It will only take a few songs before you are two-stepping, toe tapping, hand clapping, and/or waltzing across the room to the merch table to pick up all of their CDs. Their songs come from the heart, and that's how they live. Their mix of high-energy foot stompers and emotion filled songs speak to listeners. Each audience is filled with new friends they hope to meet at the end of every show. Music helped them both see that we are not solitary beings left to suffer, but that we are all connected as brother and sisters. Music is the voice they use to communicate. In the last year, The Flyin' A's have been Main Stage performers at Kerrville Folk Festival, sold out of their Christmas album, almost sold out of their second CD "Till They Shut It Down," picked up a sponsorship from Taylor guitars, and been featured in the upcoming documentary film "Folk." Don't miss seeing them before they fly on to bigger and better things.
Having played shows with the likes of Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, John McCutcheon, Chris Smither, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, The Dixie Chicks, and many others, Danny Britt is one of those singer-songwriters who you may not know yet, but your favorite performers probably do. With three full-length releases under his belt, he is quickly gaining notoriety as both a writer and a performer.
Danny will open the show at 7:30 pm, and The Flyin' A's go on at 8:00 pm. $10 suggested donation, but no one will be turned away.
