Represent Austin & Shandon Sahm present Sir Doug Tribute Nite [Beerland / Thursday]

Music was a big part of Doug Sahm’s life from a very early age -- he was just 11 when he not only released his first album but also had the honor of performing with the one and only Hank Williams. His esteemed career included a plethora of stellar recordings as a solo artist and with the Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados, guaranteeing his legendary status in Texas’ music history. Sahm passed away in 1999.

This Thursday, Represent Austin and Sahm’s son Shandon Sahm present the Sir Doug Tribute Nite. Head down to Beerland and enjoy live sets by Cry Blood Apache, The Dirty Sound, The Happen-Ins, and of course, Shandon Sahm as they pay homage to the Texan icon. Shandon is in the process of recording an album titled Sahm Covers Sahm, and has performed with his father, Royal Neanderthal Orchestra/Meat Puppets, and Gibby Haynes and His Problem in the past. Quite the entertainer in concert, he was the drummer for Pariah in the 90’s and he currently fronts his eponymous hard-rock outfit. Learn more about Represent Austin here.
