Austinist Giveaway: 2 Foot Yard at Hogg Auditorium

Chamber/pop amalgamists 2 Foot Yard merge classical with contemporary, employing in their arsenal an array of instruments that include violins, cellos, guitars, and drums. It's a wholly original sound -- Billboard called their work "a head-spinning collection that melds classical virtuosity, folk soul, and pop imagination" -- though, from what we've heard, their varied musical influences are nevertheless recognizable in their energetic, near-theatrical live performances.

Admittedly, we dont know much about the band, apart from the fact that violinist/vocalist Carla Kihstedt comes from Tin Hat Trio and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Marika Hughes (cello, vocals), and Shahzad Ismaily (percussion, guitar) round out the trio.

We're giving away several pairs of passes to tomorrow evening's performance at UT PAC Hogg Auditorium. Enter below:

Congrats, JR, BH, TB!
