Soooo crazy enough a vocalist who I performed with years in ago in DC, Lulu (who works with #thieverycorporation ) is here in Austin with her band @nightglitter) before she heads out on tour while I am on tour. Great music. #Austin #Texas #ATX #NativeHostels (at Native Hostels) https://www.instagram.com/p/BofkLLDA_5s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5gkh0jjm50m6
