MA's Guster and Wild Sweet Orange will rock the walls of Stubb's Waller Creek on April 22 at an Earth Day celebration to benefit the Hill Country Conservancy.

Whether you agree or disagree with Austin’s “Live Music Capital of the World” claim, there is little doubt that our city hosts a plethora of quality shows every week and offers boundless options to its fine citizens on a daily basis.

The act recently signed to Rounder Records, who plan to re-release Ode to Sunshine, the band's self-released album recorded at a friend’s cabin in Julian, San Diego. The Delta Spirit performed on KCRW 89.9 FM’s Morning Becomes Eclectic last month -- check it out here.
