7:30 PM - Homebody8:30 PM - Micky and The Motorcars
For a handful of summers about 30 years ago, tourists who wandered into a large dancehall in Stanley, Idaho, witnessed a family tradition finding new life. Muzzie Braun and the Boys––a local family band who’d made it to the Grand Ole Opry––featured Muzzie’s four young sons, precocious boys with rock-and-roll futures. “Gary and I’d get up and play a couple of songs, then we’d get off and the older brothers would stay up and play a couple more,” says Micky Braun, the youngest. “That’s how we got started playing.”
Cody and Willy started Reckless Kelly, and Micky and Gary left Idaho for Austin to start Micky and the Motorcars, a road-dogging favorite whose nonstop tour for the last 17 years has shaped Austin’s roots-rock resurgence.
Gary–– who handles guitar, mandolin, harmonica, harmonies, and occasionally lead vocals–– and Micky, lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist, are joined in the Motorcars by Andy Carrell on bass, Bobby Paugh on drums and percussion, and new bandmate Pablo Trujillo on guitar. The combination of familiar and fresh players has reinvigorated the Motorcars’ live show, which buzzes through a low-key rock-and-roll rapture built on grooves and the Brauns’ signature harmonies.
