Twelve years ago our musician friend Jami Hampton spread the word around Austin that this great group from Arkansas was coming to Austin to play at Waterloo Icehouse on 38th, Gail and I, along with a host of other picking buddies, heeded Jami’s advice and made our way to the concert. Sad Daddy blew us away, so much so that we immediately asked them to play our new house concert series. They were very appreciative but declined. I found out they were playing again the following night at a dive bar down on South Lamar and I headed down there to catch another of their concerts. They played another incredible concert of music. I approached them again and asked that they just give me a date they could play Sycamore and that I wouldn’t take no for an answer. In March of 2011 they played Sycamore, their first ever house concert.

Sad Daddy was formed in 2010 with Melissa Carper on the bass, Brian Martin on the guitar and Joe Sundell on banjo. They have since added Rebecca Patek on the fiddle. Their incredible musicianship coupled with their unique songwriting and spot on harmonies make for a very special evening at Sycamore Creek!

They instantly became one of our favorite bands and we jumped at the chance to have them back at Sycamore.

Invitations for this show have been sent out, feel free to go to their website www.SadDaddyBand.com to learn more about them and listen to some of their music. This will definitely be a concert that you will not want to miss.
There is a wait list for this show.
