Happy 18th birthday to my firstborn!!! I am beside myself with love, pride, and gratitude this morning. You're a real life adult now!

My whole life changed when I met you. I found a reason to live in those brown eyes and being your dad has been the highlight of my life. You are true to yourself and love hard. You don't take shit from anyone but you give me plenty of it. Thank you for being my daughter. Don't leave me quite yet. The world can be rough, but I will always be in your corner. I love you so much darling.

What a night folks! That was by far the best gig I've ever played in Austin. And it was in my backyard for an audience of 30 high schoolers.

I decided to throw together a backyard house show for my daughter's 18th birthday. I borrowed a tiny PA, got out a crappy practice amp, and called some friends. This was the best audience I ever had. They watched and listened. They WATCHED AND LISTENED! It is impossible to get a small gig in this town where people actually pay attention, nevertheless listen to EVERY SONG! They appreciated it. In a city where every gig is just another experience in being someone's background music, they actually wanted to hear us.

I am so proud to know these young adults. I am confident that they are smart, respectful, and kind. They are more mature and aware than any of us were at their age.

Don't go talking shit about this new generation man.
The kids are better than you think.

Huge thanks to the following talented artists for coming out to play this wild evening. Y'all need to check them out.

It was lucky number 7 for Jake Busby. But really, luck had nothing to do with it. Over seven great songs and performances, he’s become one of the most beloved characters on @the_hook_songs . On his seventh one though, he absolutely reared back for something extra, while delivering a murder ballad with a plot twist that put it over the top.

@arpaioescapee is officially The Hook’s latest Gold Patch winner, which means he can perform on the show at will. You can see his full performance and the aftermath on Episode 12 of The Hook now up on YouTube.

You can witness moments like this yourself Sundays at Sagebrush in Austin from 2:30-5:00. ANYONE can sign up, and you never know what’s going to happen.

This song and performance from @arpaioescapee on the last episode of The Hook became the favorite moment for many, not just because the song came with a great “hook,” but because of the discussion that ensued.

Co-host @caitlincannonmusic had some excellent feedback, and guest panelist @sarahgoldenmusic picked up how the song wasn’t about Jake Busby himself, which allowed him to be able to get up on a soap box in the best of ways.

Taking songs seriously, and understanding how they impact our lives and perspective is what The Hook is all about. The exchange between Jake Busby and the panel is the perfect example of that.

You can see the full performance and discussion on Episode 9 of The Hook now up on YouTube. You can also come witness great songs and discussions yourself during the next taping at @sagebrushtexas in Austin Sunday, August 9th from 2:30-5:00.
