Hank Alrich is a very talented multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer who is

probably best known for running the Armadillo World Headquarters from 1976 until

it closed on New Years Eve, 1980. He is joined tonight by his daughter, Shaidri,

who is one the most gifted new singers in Austin.

 

The Armadillo World Headquarters opened August 7th 1970!

 

"...The Armadillo was more than just a local symbol. It was the center of the

music industry in Texas, the premiere showcase for the rest of the nation to

look at Texas talent and the spot where Texas audiences get to see national acts

at their best… In the vision of Texas we want to communicate, the nine-banded

Armadillo is more important than John Connally or the oil industry. It's a
vision the rest of the country hasn't seen yet."
