Big Wy’s was born March 1, 2014, as a gang of Westlake High Schoolers opening for a Mardi Gras celebration. Eleven years later almost exactly, the group graces South Austin’s Meanwhile Brewing for the same Lent-prep holiday. This time, they boast a co-trek through college, TEDxYouth spotlight, performance for former Costa Rican president Luis Guillermo Solís, and 2024 genre mash debut Built to Last. Seriously – it’s jazz, funk, rap, rock, and Dixieland, with a country twist. The only common thread? Brass and infectious party vibes. Come early to dance and snag New Orleans eats. – Amber Williams
