If you’re gonna play in Texas… Warren Hood was a revered fiddle player long before he answered Alabama’s famous proclamation on the field at the Nov. 23 Texas-Kentucky game, but that DKR performance likely tipped off a whole new audience to the Austin Music Hall of Famer’s talents. The son of Champ Hood and the longtime accompanist of late crooner Toni Price, Warren Hood was classically trained at Berklee before launching this weekly ABGB residency with Marshall Hood, Willie Pipkin, Nate Rowe, and Jordan Cook, where he plays originals, classics, and a few Uncle Walt’s Band favorites. – Carys Anderson
