Celebrating Central BBQ’s 10th Anniversary in Midtown Memphis with great food and live music.

Yard Dog Folk Art is an amazing gallery on South Congress in Austin that has an amazing array of paintings and other art works, including some by the noted Memphis musician and artist Lamar Sorrento (AKA Eddie Campbell). They also sponsor a SXSW stage in their courtyard, featuring a number of roots and Americana groups, such as the band Tender Mercies, which was playing when I entered. March 17, 2012.
