Gretna Heritage Festival has grown into its own~C.J. Lin
~From its humble beginnings 15 years ago as a one-stage, hours-long free concert under a covered market, the Gretna Heritage Festival has burgeoned into a sprawling festival spanning seven stages, three days and about 25 city blocks. Scheduled for Oct. 2-4, the festival boasts nearly 50 local and international acts.

Covered In Vinyl,
The Susan Cowsill Band

~Susan Cowsill's Covered In Vinyl -- The Jackson 5 Greatest Hits (Motown, 1971)
is coming to Austin and Dallas.
Covered in Vinyl
is a concept show Susan created several years ago with her husband and drummer
Russ Broussard
.
The Susan Cowsill Band
provides an evening of fun with the familiar covering a classic album (their opinion there!) in its entirety. The evening starts with a set of mostly original material off Susan's latest album, Just Believe It and songs from her days with the Continental Drifters then continues with the timely choice of Motown's 1971 classic album
The Jackson 5 Greatest Hits
Saturday August 29 - The Saxon Pub
Sunday August 30 - Poor David's Pub

And of course keep yo'Ear on Carrollton Station!
