Thanks for making our debut a night to remember

Anyone who’s been to Ruta Maya can attest to the community atmosphere, which was never more present than last Thursday night. We’d like to thank Killa Dilla and Armadillo Road for opening up the show. And of course, we also appreciate all of our friends and fans (both old and new) who turned out on a rainy Thursday night to see some great music. There’s a lot more music on the way, so keep checking back for details on future gigs.

Thanksgiving show a resounding success

What a great event and evening we had last Thursday night (Thanksgiving). The potluck dinner was incredibly generous and fed the masses for free. Big crowd for a holiday night. Thanks for everyone who came out for us, and supported us on our first official gig in Austin in over four years! We were both surprised and grateful for your support. We’re ready to roll things out in the new year so stay tuned for more live dates very soon!

Don’t miss AVO at Ruta Maya on Thanksgiving

Well, the cat’s out of the bag as they say. Austin Volunteer Orchestra (AVO) planned on meeting you in 2010. But demand has been so strong – and our rehearsals going so well – that we’ve decided to make a place at our Thanksgiving table for you! On Thursday, November 26, 2009, catch AVO at Austin’s premiere coffee house and coffee importer Ruta Maya.

Music starts at 9 pm. But get there early, because there will be a Potluck Dinner from 7-9pm. Feel free to bring your own tasty vittles for others and share in the generosity of your fellow Austinites!
