Patty Finney
Posted on Friday, August 6th, 2010 at 10:04 amWent to see Patty Finney last night, a most enjoyable evening. She was playing at the Austin Sports Tavern, and the audience was unusually light. However, that probably had to do with the lack of a liquor license, requiring the purchase of a meal before beer could be served, and the limit was two. People came in and promptly left upon hearing that they couldn’t just order a beer. I’m sure it will be better there when they get their license from TABC. But as it was, it was quiet and most enjoyable to hear her perform. And we had a great time talking to her between sets.

I had seen Patty this year on a couple of occasions, but it’s the first time this year I heard her perform. So it was definitely the case of my getting my Patty fix. It’s hard describing just how soothing her voice can be. There are so few vocalists with her gift. And to be her friend is very nice too. Life can be wonderful.

Tonight I get to go see Connie Gatling and David Hoffpauir in Bastrop at the Roadhouse. And Patty should be in the audience with us.
