The Backyard is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in a natural, open-air setting enveloped in the shade of 400 year old live oaks. Multitiered decks, fish ponds and plaza areas illuminate the magic of the amphitheater’s atmosphere. This one of a kind amphitheater hosts music as varied and eclectic as the people of Austin. Willie Nelson, David Bowie, Natalie Merchant, the Gypsy Kings, Lyle Lovett, The Neville Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Widespread Panic and Norah Jones have all graced the tree surrounded stage. Winning awards and recognition not only from local and national publications (“Best Open Air Venue” Austin Chronicle; “Best Place to Hear Live Music” Citysearch), the Backyard is critically acclaimed by the most important of people, the artists themselves. Creating a natural, comfortable and unique environment for the Backyard’s performers has been of utmost importance since the Backyard’s conception. The Backyard is also host to first class private events and benefits, from Seagram’s launch of their new Margaritaville tequila featuring a performance by Jimmy Buffet, to the National Golf Association’s tournament reception and Advanced Micro Devices 25th Anniversary event.

Barack Obama!

7 People Like this Event. I Like It share
Perhaps it’s unfair to pin an entire nation’s hopes and dreams on one man, but if anyone embodies the word “optimism”
these days, it’s Illinois Senator Barack Obama. The title of Obama’s 2006 bestseller The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream trumpets the big idea of sweeping change—even if the somewhat compromised political positioning within actually calls for a broader, centrist approach to sensitive issues. Nevertheless, he’s young, he’s dynamic, and he’s the anti-Bush, so to modern progressives he’s the closest thing to John F. Kennedy, emblematic of the promise of life in the post-W era—more so than Hillary Clinton, anyway, whose own adeptness at shifting identities and playing political games stands in stark contrast to Obama’s steadfast idealism. (Although, note to Obama: Maybe you should lay off the TV cameos for a bit; dancing on Ellen and turning up on SNL in the same week isn’t really helping your desire to be taken seriously.)

However much Chris and Rich Robinson stray in terms of style or status, the story of The Black Crowes effectively begins and ends with their multi-platinum debut Shake Your Money Maker. That was the album that resurrected a working idea of Southern rock in 1990, and it’s also the one with the hits—“Jealous Again” and “She Talks To Angels” among them—to listen for here.
To win tickets to this event, email austinpromo@theonion.com with ‘Black Crowes’ as your subject line.
