This week’s Blues on the Green started out like any other outdoor event in Texas; 105 degree heat and lots of humidity. Luckily we brought over 40 cases of Sweet Leaf Tea and soaked some bandannas in ice, so we were sittin’ pretty. As the event-goers started to arrive, we made it our personal mission to get some Sweet Leaf into the talented hands of Marcia Ball, the evening’s performer. As luck would have it, Marcia loves our product and happily accepted a deliciously refreshing Peach Tea. We have nothing to support our claims, but we personally believe that our homemade goodness in a 20 oz bottle was the reason behind Marcia’s amazing performance of some great Cajun infused blues with a Texas twist.
Marcia’s reputation as a skilled pianist is well deserved as she kept the crowd rockin’ for 2 solid hours. Her soulful voice combined with fantastic saxophone and guitar playing from the band made our job of selling Sweet Leaf that much easier. WE had so much fun interacting with the crowd and meeting Marcia. We cannot wait until Carolyn Wonderland hits the stage at the next Blues on the Green on July 29th.
Thank you to everyone who came out to purchase some tea and hang out with us. We hope to see y’all next time. As for the music, we’re happy to say that Marcia Ball once again proved that Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World.
