Do you want a real Texas experience while you are here in Austin? How about a shuffle around the dance floor at the most famous place to learn how to two step? Yep, we are talking about a party hosted at the Historic Broken Spoke. Here is your opportunity during SXSW to come back with a pair of boots in your hand and a real understanding of country music from all round North America.

Sounds from the likes of James McMurtry, Waco Brothers, The Weather Station, Whitney Rose, Joe Purdy and Amber Rubarth, John Paul Keith, Jeff Plankenhorn, will leave you broken hearted and rocked out.

The sponsors won’t leave you let down either. Another chance to score Austin points is grabbing a drink with vodka sponsor, Tito’s. Handmade right here in the capital city.

12 PM – 5 PM, Thursday, March 15, Broken Spoke, 3201 S. Lamar Blvd, Austin, Texas 78704

Sultry sounds by James McMurtry will leave you with a deeper understanding of hard truths and high on life with nostalgic mentions in road trip songs. Also in attendance as the special guest, shhh you didn’t here it from us, is Cassandra Jenkins and she’ll be performing at 4:30PM. She is a very talented New Yorker that has picked up her music career again after attending college and a short stint at The New Yorker magazine. View this video for her song Tennessee Waltz.
