Vinny's been to the Wormy Dog probably near 150 times in the past 3 years or so. Every once in awhile there comes along a band that he's never heard of before that catches his ear and attention once they start playing. Randy Rogers Band was one of them a few years ago. You know the rest of the story with them. The Gourds were another one. And although Vinny was familiar with some South Austin Jug Band tunes before he heard them, Vinny was awed by their show. Micky & The Motorcars is another one. Well, add the Mark McKinney Band to this list. Wow. Vinny was totally impressed. It was a great surprise to get a band in here that didn't sound like every other band. The Mark McKinney Band had Vinny's attention from the very moment they hit the stage. Talk about performers. They are. Mark is a great front man. Full of energy and has rock star written all over him. The rest of the band was just as energetic as he was. It was a shot in the arm, and much needed in Vinny's opinion. During most of the set, there wasn't anyone in front of them on the floor, but by the end of the set, a group of folks gathered around. They got "it" too. Stumbling upon these guys was refreshing to be honest with you. And by the looks of all the people that made their way over to the merch area after the show, it looks like ALOT of people appreciated the show as much as Vinny did. Hopefully the word will get out about these guys. Vinny hopes they come back often. Check em out. Trust Vinny on this one.
