I have always loved music and like to listen to most of it…..unless the musicians are flopping about on the stage like a fish on a wharf. That’s where I draw the line. But I digress. We have some pretty cool musical things going on right in San Angelo, Texas., principal among them a fellow named Daniel Makins. Daniel and I met a couple of years ago when he talked to me about him and his wife Claire making the move back to his hometown. Well, he and Claire and his kids came home to the Concho and with him returned his passion for music. What kind of music is it? Folk, country, acoustical guitar playing good is what it is! I recommend that you show up to any of his shows, but what I have enjoyed the most is his San Angelo New Folk Series.
Daniel has obviously spent some time on the road and along the way has met quite a few talented musicians, many of whom he is bringing to our town. It’s a good evening of music, maybe an adult beverage or two, and the wit and wisdom of Daniel Makins. He can really make that guitar sing and has a wide range of songs that are personal, poetic and wildly entertaining. His guests are fun as well. If you are looking for a great night out and something quite a bit different from dinner and a movie, try my favorite folk singer ( okay, aside from Woody Guthrie) some night.
I have included a link to his website and one of his tunes. It’s just a taste of his music, but once you sample it, you’ll come back for more. http://www.danielmakins.com/calendar.html
