Concert by Aaron McDonnell, a country and neotraditional music artist from Spicewood, Texas, at The White Horse.
Aaron McDonnell plays The White Horse on Saturday, August 29, with the show starting at 10 PM. It's a single-bill night, so he's the only act on the program.
McDonnell hails from Spicewood, Texas, and the set is billed as neotraditional country. That's a specific way of describing the sound: it keeps the traditional country songbook and its hallmarks—the storytelling, the twang, the rootsy arrangements—but frames them for a newer generation rather than playing it like a museum piece. It's country music that looks back at the old-school Texas sound while still feeling like it belongs in the present.
Coming from Spicewood, McDonnell is a local to the Hill Country, and that Texas lineage sits right at the center of the neotraditional label. The White Horse is a natural fit for it, too, given the venue's focus on country and dancehall music. The 10 PM start puts this in the later slot of the night, so it's more of a late-night outing than an early evening one.
