Tomorrow night is a chance to kill two birds with the proverbial stone. You can check out this hip new venue on Freret Street and hear a great touring band from Austin, Texas.
Southbound Drive is rootsy rock ‘n’ roll that features catchy hooks, enlightening lyrics, and a killer live show. Principal songwriter and singer Scott Collins brings honesty to the stage and sings with forceful energy. Check out the vid for his take on the band.
Lead guitarist Ryan Goebel shifts between soulful guitar lines that tastefully compliment Collins on acoustic guitar. Anchoring the group is long time bass man Lucas Griffin. Solid and in the pocket, Griffin brings stability and groove all at once.
The newest member, and last piece to the puzzle, is drummer Ryan Greenblatt. He brings presence and power to the kit, all while building the foundation of the band with Griffin’s bass and providing a steady back beat.
If you haven’t checked out Gasa Gasa yet, it’s an intimate space with a state of the art sound system. There are plenty of other options around town, but this show may just be the one that has people talking all week.
See you there!
