HERE'S THE DETAILS!

Ready for a short but sweet musical road trip?



The Sunday House Concert Series welcomes Tim Grimm back for another great show. Instead of in Parke and Donna's living room, this show will be in the courtyard of the oldest bar in Texas: Riley's Tavern. Why? Well....why not? It's just a few miles from Gruene Hall and similar in many ways but more authentic in many ways. Like you ain't gonna be tripping over many turistas. In Gruene there's four t-shirts shops, at Riley's there's four t-shirts for sale, pinned to the wall above the counter right there behind the pickle jar.

The show will be in the oak and pecan tree covered courtyard - a fall trip to a historic spot like this for a cool Americana show is just what the doctor ordered. We need 30 patrons to make this successful again, please help us by being one! Come and join us, you'll be so glad you did.


Start Time: 4:00
Suggested donation: $15
Kids are welcome
we'll put a map up but to google your own the address is:
Riley's Tavern
8894 FM 1102
New Braunfels, TX 78132


The address says New Braunfels but it's actually in the ghost town of Hunter, Texas a couple miles past the New Braunfels city limits - the post office there closed sometime after the last depression. Might just open back up sometime after this depression, never know.

After the show there'll be Glenn's weekly Open Mic and everyone is welcome to stay and listen and/or play your songs. Drag your guitar in with you, Riley's is no place to be shy.

Don't bring potluck food this time, just some Rolaids; there's a chuck wagon offering hamburgers, onion rings, chili dogs etc. Yes, it's deadly but it tastes great.

Most of our family and friends, Woodzie alumni, guitar pickin' buddies, Whippleworld readers, Glenn's fridge list oldtimers and Sunday House Concert mailing list survivors will have received emails with all this info and you can RSVP in a reply to that. BUT if you're new to the Sunday House thing, if you read about this show in the paper or on Tim's website or wherever, please make a comment here with your RSVP. Love to hear from you and will love to meet you in person at the show.

Hope to see you Sunday the 19th!

Please do not contact Riley's Tavern for any information regarding the house concert or songwriting workshop.
Please direct all questions to John Whipple or Glenn Allan.
Thank you.

Mike Lindauer will be accompanying Timm on his gigantic, custom made, Rick Turner, electrocoustic bass.
You may remember him from the last house concert Timm did for us.
Mike is a funny, funny guy and a scary good bass player!
