Austin, Texas– It’s Tunes Tuesday! We’re celebrating local music today with a group that truly captures Austin’s loud, local, and unapologetically fun sound.
Delicious food, live music, and a great cause all come together this Saturday at the 18th Annual Chili Cold Blood Chili Cook-Off in Austin!
One of the standout performances of the day comes from The Faux McCoys, an Austin-based trio known for their high-energy sound that blends mountain music roots with a punk-style edge. Using unconventional instruments like washboard, washtub bass, and clawhammer banjo, the band delivers a raw, fast-paced performance that’s as entertaining as it is unexpected.
