Could this be the resurrection of Little Joe Soul (if only for a night)? Time will tell.
[8/30/07] This week marks the two year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and filmmaker Robert Greenwald reminds us that "still there are tens of thousands of families without homes. 30,000 families are scattered across the country in FEMA apartments, 13,000 are in trailers, and hardly any of the 77,000 rental units destroyed in New Orleans have been rebuilt. Watch his new video.
But "there is something very specific we can all do to help. Sign the petition urging the Senate to pass the Gulf Coast Recovery Bill of 2007 (S1668). The bill is expected to come to a vote after Labor Day. Its passage will be an important step toward rebuilding the infrastructure in the Gulf Coast region."
[6/9/07] Soulhat will perform at this year's Keep Austin Weird Fest, a 5K and festival sponsored by RunTex, on June 16. The event features the 5K (of course...) plus live music, food, local businesses, tents and contests, and will last all day Saturday. Doors open at Republic Square Park at 11 a.m. and close at 10 p.m.
Music performances are scheduled to include the aforementioned Soulhat as well as Bob Schneider, Alejandro Escovedo, South Austin Jug Band, Patricia Vonne, The Steps and Amy Cook. Food vendors include the Austin Farmer's Food Market, Lambert's, Amy's Ice Cream, Salt Lick BBQ and Austin's Pizza, as well as the best local businesses featured in the Austin Chronicle's "Best of Biz-aar"!
[6/2/07] Kevin McKinney will join Bob Dylan, Bjork, The White Stripes, Wilco and dozens of other artists as part of this year's lineup at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Sept 14-16. Kevin will be promoting a new solo record, which should be released by the time of the festival. Three day wristbands are now sold-out but one-day passes go on sale June 19.
