Scott H. Biram at the Continental Club, 5/17/13

Page 2 of 2

He kept the night rollin' right along with his homemade contraption, and as Biram shows go, the "just ask and ye shall receive" mantra rang true. We got an up close and personal look at it, complete with a hand-painted western scene on the backside.

Capping off the night, he traded in the Texas-style blues for some good old-fashioned yodelin' via a Don Walser tune, but the best way to end such a laid-back night is with a bit of good advice.

Biram obliged with a nod to tipping bartenders and reminding us all not to forget to pull out.

Classic Biram.

Personal Bias: The more hillbilly or white-trash the music is, the more I like it. Also, I'm going trash-picking for a piece of plywood and googling plans to build my own stomp box.

The Crowd: Tatted-up Biram die-hards, frat packs, a white trash couple, incognito local musicians, the "don't be that guy wearing a Biram shirt at a Biram show."

Overheard In the Crowd: "We like songs about chickens."

Random Notebook Dump:: Biram is working on a new album at Austin's Cacophony Recorders, but says he's been listening to classical music. I'm scared and you should be too.
