eye for booking kind of cool band.

of time and energy going and researching bands and going
and watching bands. Yeah. He tries to pull different a
different vibe here and bring bands out you wouldn't normally
see in Marble Falls.

good vibe. There's tables everywhere. It's outdoors, a huge oak tree.

we're blessed with a rainstorm.

Speaker 2 (03:39):

of rain is on Saturday.
