The Hill Country Clarinet Trio performs at Scholz Garten, TCMF 2010

Austin — The Texas Community Music Festival returned to Scholz Garten Monday night with performances by the Hill Country Clarinet Trio of Marble Falls and the Austin Jazz Band.

While most assuredly jinxing the final day of the Fifth annual TCMF, the skies were clear and a cool breeze washed over a mostly packed biergarten at Texas’ oldest restaurant.  And the audience was treated to wonderful performances, which has become the hallmark of this “we’re only in it for the music” festival.

The Fifth annual Texas Community Music Festival concludes Thursday at Scholz Garten beginning at6:30 with the Chalumeau Clarinet Quartet, followed by the mellow tones of the world-infamous WURST BAND!

Make plans to join us as we close down the most successful Texas Community Music Festival with a rousing chorus of  ”In Heaven There is No Beer!”  In fact — BRING YOUR HORN AND JOIN US!   That’s what community music is all about.

AUSTIN — The Texas Community Music Festival heads into  its final week of 2010 with two important sessions at historic Scholz Garten!

On Monday, Scholz Garten will host the Hill Country Clarinet Trio and then from 7:00 – 9:00pm  — it’ll be the Austin Jazz Band

Then on Thursday, May 6, the FIFTH ANNUAL TEXAS COMMUNITY MUSIC FESTIVAL culminates with the Chalumeau Clarinet Quartet from 6:30 til  7:30 and then at 8pm, it’ll be the season’s first appearance of The Wurst Band, come raise a stein, toast the TCMF and join us in a rousing chorus of “In Heaven There Is No Beer.”  Prosit!

Folks, Cactus Patch Studios has done a masterful job recording the sets from the 2010 Texas Community Music Festival!  MASTERFUL!  Click here to go to the site.

I want to thank Jim Schwobel of ACWE for doing such an outstanding job of MC’ing the weekend’s performances at Central Market.  And thanks again to Central Market for having us again and to all of the outstanding musicians for donating their time to perform for the people of Central Texas!

Go to the following link and listen to excerpts from the 2010 festival.  AND BUY CDS!  This is great stuff and probably the best opportunity all of our bands have of snagging high quality professional recordings of our performance.  Please excuse the odd grackle and screaming toddler.  This is all great stuff!

Oh yeah!  TCMF continues Monday night at 6:30 pm at Scholz Garten and ends Thursdya night at 6:30 at Scholz with clarinets and then… the 2010 premiere of the world-infamous WURST BAND!

Ein Prosit!
