Blaine's Pub Dominates Downtown With Live Music This Weekend

Blaine's Pub at 10 W Harris Ave, downtown, is the place to be tonight through this weekend for live entertainment.

Tonight, Singer-songwiter Clayton Gardner, out of College Station, Texas, will take the stage at 8 p.m. His 2015 album “Under the Lights” with the hit “Buy You a Drink” is perhaps his best known song having placed on the Texas Radio charts. Staying true to his Texas roots, Gardner plays country music, and tours 8-12 dates a month. He has also managed to find the time to complete his degree at Texas A & M. His song "Single Looks Good" is sure to get the crowd out of their seats and onto the dance floor, while the epitome of the old school country genre, "Table For Two," might just rejuvenate, or solidify, relationships with their first date/kiss undertones.

Friday night, April 15, K Phillips will take the stage at 10 p.m. With their "Pop-Americana/Rock 'n' Roll roots, this band relays stories most listeners have lived through with their lyrics. Recently, on their Facebook page, K Phillips shared the Counting Crows' tour announcement video. They posted, "These guys are letting me go on tour with them this summer..thank you thank you Counting Crows & Rob Thomas!" Catch this band while you can San Angeloans because, over the next 5 months, their tour will take them to far away places such as Alabama, Maine, Toronto, San Diego and everywhere in between.  

Saturday night, April 16, Austin Meade will go on at 10 p.m. This singer/songwriter from the Austin area grew up playing in the church. He started out on drums and "then decided to pick up a guitar." His video "Feeling Closer" portrays "Acoustic Americana" with "Blues" influences. Many career highlights include his "2015 Larry Joe Taylor Songwriter showcase," and, according to www.texasmusicpickers.com, March 30, 2016, Meade is one of the The 35 "Best Kept Secrets in the Texas and Red Dirt Scene." 

Ending the weekend on a high note, "American Aquarium" will play Sunday, April 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets are only $12.50 and can be purchased online at http://blainespub.com/american-aqua…. Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, this "Rock and Roll/Alternative Country" band's newest album is entitled "Wolves." Its 10-track lyrics tell stories about the band's last decade on the road traveling and living the "rock star" lifestyle," and how it has humbled them. New fans will have to do a double take as singer BJ Barhams' raspy, deep vocals paired with genuine heartfelt lyrics emulate classic Bruce Springsteen. Their video, "Man I'm Supposed To Be," has over 126,000 views on YouTube, and fan comments validate the band's notoriety; they have truly earned their status by their hard work and dedication.
