Farewell Week in Austin
All good things must come to an end… and as far as the Asylum Street Spankers’ live show that has awed and amazed audiences for years, this week is it! Here’s how the Spankers describe the final three-show extravaganza in their hometown of Austin, TX.
Thursday, April 21 “Givin’ the People What They Want” — 8pm, The Cactus Cafe
The top 20 Spankers songs of all time, as chosen by you via online poll, will be the setlist. Trust us, there are some doozy surprises on tap, plus lots of songs we haven’t played in years and we promise a surprise guest you will never expect. The Grey Brothers Trio, starring our former hot shot piano man Reese Grey, opens the evening. And, if that won’t do it for you, maestro Stanley Smith is sitting in all night long!
