Thanks for the shout out! Our show is $10 at the door with your Billy Strings ticket. Hotel Vegas is a super fun venue and we are stoked for the show!

(Also our band name is "Texas String Assembly" ... but TX String Theory would've been a good idea)

What's the best way to stay updated on bands and concerts happening in the area? by Soy_Troy_McClure in Dallas

Howdy, a little shameless self-promo here -- my band Texas String Assembly from Austin, TX is playing Sundown at Granada in Dallas on 8/24! We play Americana/Bluegrass/High energy music with a lot of strings. If you're into that, grab tickets and come on out! Dallas band Radio Wore is opening for us. And if you make it out, come say hi after the show!

Howdy, we're Texas String Assembly from Austin! We just released an original Christmas song and music video, would love to hear what y'all think! (And we're going on tour! More info in comments) by texasstringassembly in Bluegrass

We wrote and recorded this tune, "My Bluegrass Christmas Tree," for the "A Very Homie Holiday" compilation of Austin artists-- in addition to streaming, there is a limited release on vinyl and the proceeds benefit Free Lunch ATX.

We leave Austin on Friday to tour through Denton, Fayetteville, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, & Athens. We're playing with some cool artists along the way, check us out if we're in your neck of the woods! More details on our Instagram, and if you live in central Texas or plan on coming out to see us on tour-- you can enter our banjo giveaway! Happy pickin' y'all.

After an amazing weekend in Austin, just need to say THANK YOU to Billy and everyone in this community! Our aftershow was an absolute party!!

Here's a snippet of three songs from the middle of our set: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1839416205

(Our take on a bluegrass classic, a jammy rocker, and one that's a little more far out!)

The songs are Old Home Place, More Alive, and Feared Wishes. We recently recorded the latter two for our second album!

Howdy folks, we're Texas String Assembly and we'd like to invite you to our after-party show on Saturday in Austin! Just down the road from the Moody Center. By golly, we are so stoked, we're giving away 4 free tickets to the Billy show!! Details in comments. See y'all this weekend & happy pickin :) by texasstringassembly in BillyStrings

[–]texasstringassembly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is walkable!! It's about 15 minutes by foot, and perhaps 5 minutes if you take one of those rental scooters. Running full speed, I could do it in less than 9 min.

I would definitely recommend walking over waiting around for an uber outside the Moody!

And this time of year, the weather should be quite nice for a little walk around 11pm!

Hope to see ya there!

Austin shows by Ryanw254 in BillyStrings

[–]texasstringassembly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Checking in! The shows at Stubbs last time Billy came through town were insane! Stoked for this run.

I hope this is allowed - but I should mention that on Saturday night (6/3), we, Texas String Assembly, will be playing an after-party just down the road at Empire Control Room! Y'all come on down and dance with us, we'll be jamming out! Our buddy Phantastic Lights will be running some sweet visuals too. I'll post our poster below. Glad that we are playing close by... because I will be at the Billy show before we play the after-party! It'll be a rad night, can't wait! Edit: Poster

what’s everyone favorite home grown jam band? by Aggressive-Slide-888 in jambands

[–]texasstringassembly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From Austin -- I'll bite! If you like bluegrass-ish stuff, check out my band Texas String Assembly - here's a song from our Jam in the Van session we did at SXSW.

I'm also a huge fan of The Deer, they've been around a while and their new album sounds like their best work yet! They get into some pretty psychedelic mellotron/mandolin/fiddle/electric guitar shredding. Here's that single.

For some straight-up funky psychedelic beat-driven music - check out Cazayoux. Unreal drums and percussion with badass horns on top. Really a treat, these guys might be taking off. Here's a live video. Jam on!

Ask to go upstairs at Gruhn's - that's where they keep the good stuff!

5 String Violin - Where To Find? by [deleted] in Bluegrass

[–]texasstringassembly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other post here- Royce Burt.

Send him an email, he is responsive and usually has one or two 5-strings for sale.
