Mayeux and Broussard, Show 07/2/13 @ Antone’s

With names like Mayeux and Broussard you’d expect french accents, but that’s far from this Austin duo’s sound. Instead, it’s straight up Americana, with extra twang, that’ll have you hooked. Their album While the Gitten’s Good is like a truck flying down a dirt road at sunset. It’ll take you to your country roots (or maybe your wannabe ones). Their single “Hey Mama Blues” is a true country song complete with deep gravely vocals. Vocals that will give you a sense of freedom: an open road before you and only a trail of dust billowing in the wind behind. Wipe your boots off, grab your favorite honky tonkin partner, and head down to Antone’s for Mayeux and Broussard’s next show Tuesday, July 2nd. Doors open at 8:30. —Written by Courtney Pierce
