Fest Blog: Day 6

On Wednesday, we picked Owen up early and took him to a Kira Wiley show at the kids tent at Musikfest. Outside of Musikfest, Kira leads Fireflies yoga for kids at The Yoga Loft on the south side (where Kathleen goes to yoga). Kira also got some publicity when Dell used one of her songs on a TV commercial. So, her show at Musikfest was a mix of acoustic songs and yoga for the kids. Owen had a great time watching all of the kids do the tree pose, and the surfer pose, and then dance around.

We had another babysitter on Wednesday night, so Mommy and Daddy went out again to watch a few shows at Musikfest. First, we caught a little bit of Red Baraat, a Bhangra (i.e., Indian) brass band, that played some funky music with a dhol at Volksplatz. Then, we checked out a little of Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles (who play Austin-style country rock) at Americaplatz. Finally, we went to see Trombone Shorty play some excellent funk at Volksplatz - probably the best concert that we ever saw at Musikfest!
