It feels a little funny to go all the way to Austin to see artists from Brooklyn, but that’s what we did for most of the night. It started with **Dreamers**, a rock three piece, who were on when we entered The Main II on Red River Street. I know next to nothing about them, but Elke and I liked what we heard.

But **Idgy Dean** was the reason why we originally came for: the SXSW schedule labels her as a one-woman rock band and that is what she is: she loops drums, a guitar and her voice into big sound. Normally, the danger with the solo entertainer thing is that it can come over as gimmicky , but Idgy Dean does it in an elegant and effortless way. We’ll definitely watch out for her in Brooklyn.

Next stop: Cheer Up Charlie’s and **Dead Leaf Echo**. Of course we have seen them many times, but they still surprised with a new song *Temple*, which is a bit more on the punk side. I believe they plan to release a new album this year – that will be interesting for sure.

Hamish Anderson at Lucky Lounge

We wanted to see **Shura** and **Catfish and the Bottleman** but no way: while Shura was playing the lines was not moving an inch. So we decided to close the night of with some blues at the Lucky Lounge: first for **Benny Turner and the Real Blues**, diverse jazz quartet and singer/guitarist **Hamish Anderson** from Australia, who reminds a lot on John Mayer.
