Tennessee Stiffs, Austin McNeill Band, Matt Minchew
When: Tue., Aug. 28 2018
The Tennessee Stiffs aren’t your typical Americana combo. This Austin quartet is coming from a mythic southland of the soul — a haunted roadhouse where forlorn country, barstool blues and 1970s hard rock boogie hold sway. Husband and wife team Ethan Lee and Cara B. Sadler lay on the spaghetti-western guitars and world-weary vocals with a trowel. It’s creepy cool and as southern gothic as Spanish moss, a crumbling mansion and an eerie cry in the dead of night.
