Acoustic blues concert by Austin bluesman Johnny Fury at The Rainey House.
Johnny Fury plays an acoustic set at The Rainey House on Saturday, August 29. It's a solo outing from the Austin bluesman, who'll be taking the stage on his own rather than with a full band.
If you've caught him before, you know the sound: blues played with the kind of ease that only comes from spending a lot of time in the city's music scene. Stripping it down to an acoustic format changes the feel, though. Without the full band behind him, the focus shifts to the guitar and the voice, and the songs get a bit more room to breathe. It's the kind of show that works best when you can hear the details—the slide of a finger on the strings, the way a phrase lands—rather than when it's competing with a loud room.
Fury is a fixture of the Austin blues community, and this is a local night through and through. He's playing right here in town, and the acoustic setting keeps things close to the ground. It's not a big production; it's just one man and his guitar, playing the music he's known for in a smaller, more direct way.
