Important opportunity to save a puppy

Hey Guys,

Here is an opportunity to grab a great new CD and support a worthy cause.

Joe King Carrasco recorded a CD at Ruta Maya for a benefit for the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch.

Check out this link to learn more:

http://www.utopiarescue.com/

JK is donating 50% of the sales of this new live CD , “Concerto Para Los Perros” to the ranch. The CD comes out today, and it would blow everyone’s minds if y’all bought one. Joe King is a good guy, a great musician, and a great friend of JAX (remember his free show to help jump start JAX last year?).

So, let’s give a little back, show Joe King the love, and help a really important cause.

You can buy the cd at: http://www.joeking.com/joe-king-carrasco-mercado

I’ll do my part: come in with the new CD and I’ll give you a pizza for half price….

By the way, the CD rocks!!!!!

Let’s account for at least 100 CD’s sold this week!

Thanks and cheers!

Jack

2 minutes, 2 things to do to help JAX

Hi Folks,

One of the most important acknowledgements in the Austin music scene is the Austin Chronicle Reader's Poll.

It would be enormously beneficial if JAX won in any of the venue related categories.

If you could take just 2 minutes to do the following, we could receive the recognition that would help take JAX to the next level....

1. Use the link below to vote for Jax Neighborhood Cafe

2. Forward this to anyone and everyone you know that would also give us a vote.

If you received this e-mail and don't know who JAX is or don't want to receive further notes, it is because I did a "send to all" to reach as many people as possible.

Don't worry, I wont "spam" you going forward.

But, come on, vote for us anyway!!!!!!

Thanks guys, JAX Loves You!!!!!!!!! Let's keep this party going!

Guitarist/Songwriter/Vocalist Greg Harkins and Bassist/Songwriter/Vocalist Kristopher Wade have spent the last 3 years swingin' hard with the Marshall Ford Swing band while Drummer Jared Allison was traversing the Atlantic with Metal outfit Iron Age, all the while the guys were coming home to the sweet sounds of Vocalist/Songwriter/Artist extraordinaire Jacob Jaeger who, after a stint with The Marshall Ford Swing Band, has been honing his craft to a spoon-sharp point.

Austin Texas’ Alt-country Rock Band Driver is the product of a bunch of musicians who just won’t let a dream die. These retreads from bands such as the eighties rock band Mainstreet out of northern Virginia, and the ever popular Austin band Javelin Boot which wowed audiences for over eighteen years, just can’t get music out of their system. Many years after the success of their original bands Driver has created a buzz as one of Austin’s best songwriting groups, and one that is such fun to watch.

LIVE @ JAX ~ Larry Lange & His Lonely Knights! Dec. 10th

$5 Cover

Playing with Paul Ray and the Cobras, Stevie Vaughan, Angela Strehli, and Doug Sahm, exceptional bass player and Austin legend Larry Lange, is one of the architects of the “Live Music Capitol of the World”. Touring the world with Delbert McClinton and sharing the stage with Willie Nelson, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis and countless others, Larry takes to the Knight-leading role like he was born to it. Why this music? Larry grew up in Victoria, Texas during a time when regional hits were being played on the local radio stations. Musicians from San Antonio, Texas to Lafayette, Louisiana were trading and playing each others songs. Sunny Ozuna, Joe Berry, Warren Storm, Huey Meaux , the Crazy Cajun – these and many more had early influence on Larry Lange. Songs from his roots – the reason he ever picked up a guitar.

This will be a GREAT SHOW!!!

Marty Sammons is the keyboard player for Buddy Guy!

His band will include members of the Fabulous T-birds and Jimmy Vaughn's band!     Come on, this is incredible!

You are not going to see a hotter show anywhere in town this week, especially for $5!

Their publicist is telling me to be ready for "special guests". Although this has not been defined, my imagination is running wild.

There is no venue in town more intimate than JAX. If you really want to get up close and personal with an incredible artist, this is the place.

To make it more enticing, I'm offering, for the first time, a $5 1/4 pizza and pint special. So, for $5 (not included in the cover charge for those that will wonder) , you get 1/4 cheese pizza and a pint of either Bud, Lone Star, Ziegenboch, Miller or Bud light, or a glass of the LaTierre Cab or Chardonnay. Try to tell me that isn't an incredible deal!

After spending his childhood in Kansas City, MO, Seume lived his formative years in The Netherlands with missionary parents, visiting much of Europe. Following high school, he moved back to the United States and earned a degree in philosophy. While in college, Seume picked up the guitar, began writing songs, and started a band as his first forays into creating original music. Before this time, he’d played piano and trumpet, but had yet to fully realize that music would become his primary passion and focus for his talent.

Come See David Beck LIVE @ JAX!

Come See David Beck LIVE @ JAX Dec. 8th 10-11:30PM

$5 Cover

David Beck is a young songwriter from Texas. His folk rock roots set him right in line with artists like Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. He has spent the past few years performing all over Texas and the surrounding states, even taking his music across the Atlantic to Europe. His career has led him to work with artists like Todd Snider, Reckless Kelly, Gary Allen and Robert Earl Keen. His song “Really Real” was co-written with Keen and Beck’s father, an established professional musician. David’s music is all self produced with the help of Zach Samuel on drums. The live show brings a full band on stage to carry out each song. His professional experience and proven abilities suggest that there is a very promising future for this young musician.
