Local musicians often draw their energy from the artists or arts legends of their community. For those seeking or craving to hear some wonderful singer-songwriter styled music from Austin, Texas, then look no further than Thursday’s edition of the Long Road Distillers’ Summer Series, which will feature free live music from Jaime Harris.
Harris has spent years touring from house concerts to sold-out clubs since landing in Austin, where she perfected her buttery smooth voice as she plies it to a series of songs reflecting a spellbinding hybrid of pop melodies with her rooted-in-folk lyrics.
Since calling Austin her home, local musicians Jimmy LaFave, David Ramirez, Kalu James, The Painted Redstarts, The Purgatory Players, and The Bump Band have all had a positive influence on Harris’s distinct vocal style.
And the result of such training and mentoring has paid off as Harris has opened and shared the stage with such musical acts as Peter Case, The Black Crowes, Bob Schneider, Matt Nathanson, Jessie Baylin, Jon Randall, and Jack Ingram.
Long Road Distillers’ intimate but spacious taproom is a perfect environment to sip some of the area’s top award-winning spirits made on the Westside of the city as you relax to the music of Harris.
“If you’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing Jaimee Harris perform, chances are good you take away something powerful with you. Her lyrics set something in motion that triggers the memory, melts the heart, warms the soul, maybe even strikes that chord within that leaves you a bit forlorn.” – Laurie Gallardo, KUTX
