Aggie87 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Went to a small Hurricane Harvey benefit concert in Port Aransas last night. The artists played for free, the venue donated it's space, the only open hotel in town donated rooms to the artists, and a couple of local cooks volunteered to feed the musicians. So all proceeds literally went to storm recovery for this tiny town. Wasn't jazz (hard to find that down here) but got to hang with some excellent, legendary Texas musicians. Joe Ely, Terry Allen (and sons Bukka Allen and Bale Creek Allen), Terri Hendrix, Lloyd Maines, and Richard Bowden. There were also some poetry readings throughout the evening, from Jo Harvey Allen, and two Texas Poet Laureates, 2005's Alan Birkelbach and 2010's Karla Morton, with poetry written specifically for the hurricane. With Terry & Jo Harvey Allen & Joe Ely: Edited January 27, 2018 by Aggie87 Quote
