Hi guys and gals,

I came around these parts last year and figured I'd do the same again this year. Derby in the City Music Festival is on May 2, 2015 in Austin, TX and we're looking to have one heck of a time. Craft beer, mint juleps, jumbotron showing the Kentucky Derby and killer music.

Check it out!

Thought I would share our newest poster with y'all. We added in sponsors and Possessed by Paul James...I think it's pretty sweet. Can't believe this happening so soon!



Oh, and L Boogie...super excited you're coming for the fest!!! Just a heads up to you and your friends...tickets are getting raised to $25 on Thursday, 4/10. Can't wait to say hi! :cheers:

Thanks for the advice DoctorTechnical. I am definitely new to the radio aspect of promoting an event. I will surely reach out to Rita at KOKE.

Do you think it would be wise for me to specifically look for Sammy Allred at KDRP or go through a program director or someone like that.

It would be unbelievable if we could have some ticket give-a-ways on KOKE and KDRP leading up to the event. Do you really think this is possible without having to pay exorbitant amounts of dough? Can radio personalities do it out of the goodness of their heart if they like your event? I know that sounds cheesy, we just don't have the funds left to shell out the type of money I thought it took to do something like that.

I'm not always the sharpest tool :lol:

Oh no...what have I done :confused:

Dude! Thanks for looking out L Boogie! I will definitely reach out to Rita Ballou here today!

Thanks for being awesome man :cheers:

And Flair Chops!!! You swing on by Austin, TX and we'll definitely find you a place to crash...this is going to be an epic day/night. I seriously can't wait for May :cheers:

L Boogie! That's awesome bro! Rent you a van and drag your friends :cheers:

And you are definitely right...MilkDrive are phenomenal and The Dirty River Boys are flat blowing up.

Dude! Awesome that you'll make it!

Thanks Flair Chops...took me nearly a year to lock everyone down. It has been a long haul and I'm trying my hardest to make sure we have one hell of a turn out!

Hey guys! I wanted to invite you all to the Austin Derby Fest coming up on Saturday, May 3 in Downtown Austin. I was born in Shreveport and all my family lives in Baton Rouge. I figured this would be a great place to post what I'm doing. If y'all want to check out the line-up and details please visit : Austin Derby Fest

Highlighting local and national bands, we are bringing the latest and greatest of folk-rock, outlaw country, bluegrass and Americana music to our stage in Austin this May. Our lineup will showcase the undeniably diverse Deer Tick, as well as, the legendary Ray Wylie Hubbard. Austin favorites will include, The Dirty River Boys, Whiskey Shivers, Possessed by Paul James and MilkDrive. In addition to killer musical performances, the festival will feature several Austin-area food trucks as well as Trifecta on 3rd and the 140th Kentucky Derby.

The festival is our brainchild that sprung from our love of music, bourbon and the Kentucky Derby.

Tickets to the all day event will range from general admission to VIP. General admission tickets will start at just $20 and guarantee you all-day access to the festival where you'll be treated to some of the best food, drink and live music in town. For those of you wanting the ultimate experience we are offering VIP tickets at $75. VIP guests will have exclusive access to Trifecta on 3rd complete with indoor restrooms, outdoor patios, private bar, air conditioning and flat screen TVs. All of our festival guests will be treated to a live viewing of the 140th "most exciting two minutes in sports" on our Jumbotron.

So, I would really appreciate y'all to come on out on May 3, 2014 for the first annual Austin Derby Fest. Whether you're looking to sport your biggest hat and seersucker suit, listen to award-winning music, or just sip on one of the best mint juleps in town, the Austin Derby Fest is going to be rocking.

Thanks y'all! If anything...tell me what you think!

Daniel
