Austin Music People

I'm excited to welcome back Nico Little, and to introduce an incredible new guest: UK-born blues guitarist Rhys Stygal.
Rhys is known for his remarkable guitar work and deep knowledge of the blues. In this episode, we get into the legacy of Stevie Ray Vaughan, nerd out over the details of Rhys' custom Strat, meeting (and jamming with) his heroes, and explore how the guitar, Austin's music scene, and the blues have all shaped his path.
If you're in Austin this weekend, don’t miss your chance to catch Rhys, Nico Little & The North Americans, and Lindsay Beaver live at Mozart’s Coffee on Saturday, July 26th! 100% of the proceeds from this special show and community event will be going to Texas Search and Rescue and Texas State Troopers Disaster Response.

Emily, Dave, and Andrew were deep in the Austin punk scene in the '90s — living at the infamous Apathy House, an 8 person residence in West Campus that hosted house shows and provided a place for bands and fans alike to crash for the night (or the month).
