Fall is here, and it’s time for the 12th Annual Gram Parsons Birthday Hoot. On November 4th at Threadgill’s World Headquarters in Austin, Texas, an impressive collection of performers will gather from 7 to 10:30PM to celebrate the music of Gram Parsons, with proceeds benefitting the Americana Music Association and local non-commercial radio. The suggested donation is $12.
Host Patterson Barrett will lead the house band, as invited guest artists perform their favorite Gram Parson’s songs in this annual musical homage to the man whose influence on the artists and music of the current Americana movement is still felt today. This is not only a night for Parson’s fans to remember, but an opportunity for those not familiar with his music to hear and enjoy it for the first time. This year’s event will again benefit the Americana Music Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the genre of music that Parsons helped define. In addition, some of the proceeds will go to support local non-commercial radio right here in Austin.
