Not Bad Boogie w/ Logan Ledger, Erin Rae, Sean Thompson's Weird Ears, Ramsay Midwood, Sentimental Family Band

Taylor Rushing’s Not Bad design studios has helped define the look of contemporary independent country, with his illustrations and show posters blending a Seventies Austin aesthetic with a modern melding of hillbilly and hippie. The day-long mini fest Not Bad Boogie follows suit. South Austin swamp swami Ramsay Midwood and Nashville’s Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears bring the psych-country jams while Erin Rae’s gorgeously moving folk from 2022’s Lighten Up and Logan Ledger’s immaculately smooth croon draping last year’s Golden State sweeten the evening. Local trio Sentimental Family Band round out the lineup, adding some Western swing to the Boogie. – Doug Freeman
