From the official press release:
The Wizard Rodeo is a festival of headneck country and rock and roll music, cosmic folk and free jazz, drone artists and innovative traditionalists. It is the brainchild of Lindsay Verrill (aka Little Mazarn), Garrett T. Capps, and Jesse Ebaugh (The Tender Things) who came together in 2021 to create a musical event to showcase artists that don’t easily line up along genre lines, who often feel like they haven’t a space to “belong”.
The Rodeo is a one day event at Austin’s best home built baseball park and art gallery, The Long Time. The event is fully appointed with vintage markets and food and beverage vendors, but remains fully committed to being a micro festival. Attendance is restricted so as to provide a high quality experience for both attendee and artist, and fans can expect to find themselves standing next to their favorite performer (like Sabrina Ellis or Alex Maas) when not onstage.
The High House gallery will be showing new works, the Central Texas Mycological Society will be onsite, and printers will be silkscreening posters and t-shirts to order. If you ever wished that musical events were more laidback, more home made, more personal, and more likely to turn you on to something wonderful that you didn’t know existed, than this is the day for you. If you feel that you don’t fit, then come don’t fit with us!
