We try not to host shows in the summer in Amarillo, becasue there’s SO much great live music…but HPPR made an exception for these two.
Get ready for some folk excellence on the High Plains! We are thrilled to finally host an EARLY SHOW (starting at 5pm CT) for Austin-based folk duo Dawn & Hawkes on the High Plains…and it’s at our favorite listening-room venue: Chalice Abbey. We’ve been spinning their music since the beginning, so I bet you’ll know more than a few songs!
Come at 4:30p CT to hang out, shop, get some Pan-Handlers Cafe cookies and Palace Coffee. We’ll get the music going at 5p CT. (AHEM, because Sadie’s Rangers is playing Truckin’ at St. Andrew’s at 7p CT!)
Please bring a donation to support the band; we suggest $15 cash per person, but pay what you can! All are welcome, and we hope you’ll tell your friends and family about this show.
Thanks to the fine folks at Chalice Abbey for allowing us to host the show at their space — and also mark your calendars for their Songwriters event on July 11th.
