PUBLIC SCHOOL Loves Shotgun Party

We became instant fans of the band Shotgun Party while hanging out at the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend. They set up and played a couple of sets right next to our booth both Saturday and Sunday. In the age of AutoTune and becoming internet famous its nice to see people with actual musical talent kicking ass. The band consists of Jenny Parrott (pictured above in our school portrait photo booth), Katy Rose Cox on fiddle and Austin Andrew-Petersen on the stand-up bass. Their brand of Texas Swing and Folk music is incredible and playful. Between their obvious musical talents, showmanship and songwriting abilities they’re a real pleasure to watch. I bought their album, Mean Old Way, today and give it a big thumbs up. Operatar, More Romantic Than Texas and Canned Peaches are my favorite tracks. I embedded a couple of videos of them playing after the jump.
