Off a county road in tiny Caldwell, Texas, near a town called Harmony, lives a legend. And though many don’t know who Gable Matcek is, local country fans should. Today the elder guitarist plays a special show at The Daily Grind. He’ll be joined by his son Thane Matcek who fronts the indie band Judas Bear and drummer Matt Tantillo. The elder Matcek will perform from his recent CD, More Very Eclectic Country Folk. It’s filled with bona fide cowboy trails songs, polka ditties, Czech waltzes and some old covers such as Jimmie Rodgers’s “Blue Yodel No. 3,” all of which should get you whippersnappers on your feet.
