Webster's Ragtime Trio - 1st Weds at Batch
2025-12-03 19:00 - 21:00
Webster‘s ragtime trio is a throwback to a style of music that went largely unrecorded. Around the turn-of-the-century, it is said that there was lots of string bands, i.e. mandolin, banjo, guitar, bow cello, playing the popular hits of the day including classic ragtime compositions like the Maple Leaf Rag. Although that type of music was composed for marching bands and solo piano performance, it is hard not to notice how joyful it sounds played on acoustic stringed instruments.

They don’t stop there, they more than dip their toes into ragged Texas Fiddle tunes from the 78 RPM era, even venturing across the pond to play the occasional archaic Polish mazurka, and/or striking up borderland polka Harkening back to the glory days of Tejas.

Alexander Jones, Will Webster, and Westen Borghesi make up this fine trio.

Since his earliest infatuations with guitar, Buffalo Nichols has asked himself the same question: How can I bring the blues of the past into the future? After cutting his teeth between a Baptist church and bars in Milwaukee, it was a globetrotting trip through West Africa and Europe during a creative down period that began to reveal the answer.

Francis and I are playing at the Continental Club Gallery this Saturday November 22nd first gig in three okay two years that’s not taken place at the Hole In The Wall…..thank you Beaver Nelson for inviting us to play at your weekly gallery show…..

Hopelessly original, refreshingly out of touch, Ethan Azarian, raconteur from Vermont has become an entirely respectable Austin singer/songwriter/painter. While some songwriters turn inward for subject material, Azarian wholeheartedly embraces well-trod universal themes of love, death, and rebirth without the crutches of irony or melodrama – Greg Beets, Austin Chronicle.

We gathered in Austin, following our individual dreams to make sounds pleasing to our own ears and to the ears of others. We came from many different places in North America, and our ancestors all probably arrived in this land sometime between the 16th & 20th centuries. We play music in a style first popularized by African-American entertainers in the early 20th century. Headed by Clifton Tipton.
