There is no better way to kickoff Thanksgiving week than to fill up your belly over at the Empty Bowl Project Sunday afternoon and then head on over to The Parish to catch a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear the African Children’s Choir sing in Austin.

After two releases of live performances (at MoMo's and Antone's, respectively), Band of Heathens are hoping their studio performance can live up to their reputation as one of the best live Americana acts in the Lone Star State.

They have been a secret building in Austin for a short time now, but it’s getting to the point where the blockages are about to break as these Americana Austin, Texas boys gear up for the release of their brand new studio effort out this month. This collaboration-turned-band made up mostly of songwriters – Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi, Gordy Quist, Seth Whitney and John Chipman – has so skillfully utilized instruments like the dobro, lap steel and harmonica to create soulful, bluesy and rocky country-mingled tunes.
