Salty Gravy (In the Mix)

Salty Gravy

That's what I just had on my breakfast biscuit. It's also the name of this bluegrass band, two thirds of which is from Denali National Park in Alaska, but all three of whom now live in Austin. I caught them on Thursday afternoon, playing outside Allens Boots on South Congress. They don't have a record deal or an official SXSW showcase, but the trio - that's Silas Lowe, Beth Chrisman and Weebee, left to right - sure do a sweet version of "Jolene." (And that's probably the only one I'm going to hear this weekend, because Dolly Parton had to cancel her gig tonight at the Austin Music Hall, du to back problems.)
