Austin Sound

Mike and the Moonpies delivers the kind of country music we love - tear-in-our-beer, steel and fiddle laden honky tonk with a classic sensibility that keeps you company in a dark bar on a lonely and rowdy night. Fronted by Mike Harmeier, who took a turn to his country roots after the the Come Latelys, the quartet proves about as authentic as it gets, and to catch one of their shows at the Hole in the Wall is to experience Austin at it’s most essential. Harmeier’s tough twang settles like worn in leather, cut with a broken, aching drawl that splits the difference between Georges Strait and Jones with a distinctive Texas flair. Grab your Lonestars and RC Colas and check out the Moonpies this Sunday, February 22, at the Hole in the Wall with Shotgun Party and Horse Opera. You can also catch them tomorrow night, Tuesday, February 17, at the Austin Moose Lodge with Jenny and the Corn Ponys.
