Music at Hills Cafe

The end of summer is officially here.

This past Wednesday, the 98.1 KVET Summer Concert Series showcased Texas star Kevin Fowler as their final performance. After a summer long series, the Hills Cafe has hosted hundreds of rising local stars, free of cost, every Wednesday night under the big oak tree. This annual series brings in music enthusiasts of all kinds and from all walks of life. So whether you come to Hills Cafe to listen to great music, eat the tasty comfort food, drink a few tall boys, or meet up with your friends, you won't leave disappointed.

Once Andrew and I learned that we could no longer experience the free music that we had become accustomed to week after week, we raced out of work and headed down to Hills as fast as we could. The show turned out greater than I had ever imagined and Kevin Fowler managed to pack in a full house.

Although I can't remember his name, I did make a new friend. He insisted on calling me his little sister all night. This was fine by me because if someone got in my way, my cowboy friend was always there to take care of business. Sometimes when you're in a crowd of people that big, it's good to have a somebody around to help you out. In my case, I had not only a big brother but a big brother cowboy. This is yet another reason why I have come to love Texas.

So, I am sad to report that there will be no more free summer concerts at Hills Cafe in Austin, Texas this year. But I am excited for next year's series to begin. Thanks Hills for helping me move one step closer to becoming an Austinite.
