Live at New Year’s Eve Jovita’s Cantina Austin Texas on 2005-12-31

BRING ON THE DANCING HORSES!!

The Gourds chase out 2005 at Jovita’s Cantina, a former favorite South Austin haunt. This High Holiday always brings out the fun new cover songs and this night did not disappoint.
Louisiana Saturday Night, Lord I Hope this Day is Good, Bring On the Dancing Horses, Sunday Morning and Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man make this a very unique night. The night kicks off with Jimmy and Kevin trading songs solo swap style to start the festivities. Throw in a Ramsay Midwood appearance and a little Joey Thompson guesting on guitar and you probably won’t need those black-eyed peas tomorrow. – Duck

The Gourds Live at Beeblefest Early Outdoor and Late Indoor Shows @Stubbs October 25, 1997

“Beeblefest was largely the work of manager Mike Stewart. We got some friends to play all day and called it a festival. Old 97s, The Skeletons, Tiny Town, Damnations, etc. It was not a financial success. Interesting too is that we did it with Charles Attal of Stubbs who some years later went on to found ACL festival. I like to think he learned a thing or two about how to put on a festival from Beeblefest.” – Kevin Russell

Hear Gourds manager, MIke “Stewball” Stewart share some memories of putting on Beeblefest.
