What Folks are Sayin' . . . "The bottom line is, somewhere along the line, Steve Elliott and Lucie Walker came together to make music. I can only believe that it was meant to be." >> Read more |
| "Straight Up is a warm, friendly,
unpretentious, imminently listenable roots rock Americana album full of
roadhouse jump and grab-your-partner, dim-lights, slow-dance tunes that would
fit in the Broken Spoke or Ginny's Little Longhorn as well as any of the
current Austin faves." >> Read More |
| "This CD has several smash hit possibilities --
commercial, Top 40, mainstream country radio. There's every reason in the world
for it to happen." >> Read More |

We performed for a good-sized film industry crowd at The Alibi Unplugged Script Reading Series on April 7th at the Sutton Place Hotel. Everyone was most gracious, and we had a great time playing our fancy tunes in fancy digs. Although unrelated to the event, we had the star-struck thrill of seeing actor William H. Macy at the Sutton about an hour before our show. A silly aside: I bought an overpriced throwaway Kodak camera cause I forgot my camera as usual, and proceeded to take only one photo, of Steve & David giving the finger (a new tradition at gigs...I don't know what it is about that but it makes me laugh so hard to see them doing that for a picture. And of course it delights the two of them... It looked really funny. They are standing behind a fancy podium that has a brass placard with 'The Sutton Place Hotel' on it in fancy script, in the Salon Pommard, (where the gig was). A little later it was time to play, so I absently put the camera back on the podium and never thought of it again, and there it remains, at the Sutton, with only one incriminating photo in it. |
