The Sessions' Inside Tracks

Exclusive new music from pop-rock songbird Rebecca Butler

Being an unsigned band in this wonderful city can be an incredible task for anyone, but Rebecca Butler is no stranger to the stage.

Starting out with only Butler and lead guitarist Sam Ogden, Rebecca Butler and the Richards transformed into a fully functioning pop-rock band in 2011 with the addition of Patrick Young (bass), Pierce Saxon (keyboards) and Jordan Cook (drums).

The band's debut album, 4.10.11, came out in April 2011 and ever since the band has been leaving its eclectic stamp on the Austin music crowd.Playing gigs everywhere from Lucky Lounge to an Official SXSW Showcase at the Austin Convention Center, Rebecca Butler and the Richards gained the momentum needed to keep entertaining their ever growing fan base.

Rebecca Butler and the Richards play next at Frank on Thursday, February 7. You can see Rebecca Butler at the Eden House during WXWC, West by West Campus.

Ahead of those shows, check out The Sessions' video of the single “Chevrolet," featuring Rebecca Butler and Sam Ogden. Filmed at Austin hotspot, Easy Tiger, it took The Sessions team only one shot to catch Butler's quirky and unedited talents.

Austin icon Gary Clark to play free show launching wife's maternity pop-up

Bumpsuit is now open at the Domain Northside.

Austin icon Gary Clark Jr. is playing a free hometown show on Friday, December 13, to celebrate the opening of his wife, Nicole Trunfio's trendy maternity store, Bumpsuit. It's open now, and will be in Austin for six months.

Clark will be playing with his band: King Zapata and Elijah Ford on guitar, JJ Johnson on drums, and Dayne Reliford on backup vocals and keyboard.

They're fresh off the announcement that Clark will receive a Texas Medal of Arts, one of the highest honors a Texas artist can receive. He's known for modernizing the blues — not overwriting past traditions, but bringing the established sound into popular music people love whether they're conscious of the genre or not.

The new store's neighbor Grimaldi's Pizzeria is bringing a pop-up bar to the event, and there will also be yard games, photo opportunities, and more, according to a release.

Bumpsuit is filling an auspicious space for minimalist fashion at Domain Northside. It'll spend its tenure at 11700 Domain Blvd. Suite 120, the former site of Austin's first Skims Workshop, which has since moved on to a permanent location in the same shopping center.

The two stores are very similar in aesthetic, with Trunfio's focusing on maternity and postpartum wear. Styles are generally made in neutrals or jewel tones, and cut in extremely simple shapes.

“After spending our summer on tour as a family with Gary and his band, we are excited to end the year at Domain Northside to coincide with the opening of our Bumpsuit store,” said Trunfio in the release.

"Doors" for the (presumably outdoor) concert next to Bumpsuit neighbor Vuori (11701 Domain Blvd. Suite 154) are at 7 pm; the show starts at 8:30 pm.
