Are there any Austin, TX area loopers on this list? I'll be traveling
through at the end of January and have a show opportunity where I'd
like to split the bill with someone.
Thanks!

Hey Darren,
I don't know of Austin loopers per se, but I do know that two very talented
live loopers live in San Antonio, Texas.
James Sidlo has played the Y2k loopfestival a few times (and also in
Zurich at the 1st
European Live Looping Festival that Bernhard Wagner put on).
He's a really good songwriter (check out his project Honey Barbara)
and multi-instrumentalist.
A guy who goes by the moniker, Bobdog also lives there the last I heard.
He was with early incarnations of the Pigface (playing bass guitar, I
believe), the
industrial 'super group'. He plays electric Sarod and is a
fascinating musician
with a lot of touring experience.
I've seen them both play and they are really interesting and unusual,
excellent musicians.
They are both, incidentally, very good improvisers.
good luck,
yours, Rick Walker
