Danny Schmidt is a formerly local songwriter who split for Austin a few years ago but still turns up every once in a while for another low-key homecoming show of sorts. His latest album dropped earlier this year; “Little Grey Sheep” is an album of leftover flotsam and forgotten jetsam, a collection where the defining characteristic is that the songs didn’t seem to want to fit into a collection.

Similarly, these tracks are from all over the place, and the last is even from an otherwise unreleased set called Instead The Forest Rose To Sing.

Along for the ride is fellow Austinite Carrie Elkin, who made it to the finals of the Mountain Stage contest Robin Wynn cleaned up at a couple years back.

X-mas Jazz

Savage metal and flesh-eating rock

Local singer-songwriter

Young local hip hop group headed to the top. Also featuring DJ Select.

This relatively new band first reunited 80’s rock figureheads Charlie Pastorfield and Bob Girard a few years ago, and it even indirectly gave birth to the 2006 C-ville music documentary Live From… The Hook, which was launched after a particularly good gig at Uncle Charlie’s. They’ll feel right at home at Bel Rio — it’s the new pet project of C&O owner Dave Simpson
