Austin-based trio The Greyhounds take the stage on Saturday and
Sunday, February 18th qnd 19th, with a special 5 PM “soundcheck” on

The Greyhounds have turned heads on their latest national tour by
combining elements of classic funk, old-school blues and straight-up
soul.
Formed in L.A. in 2000, The Greyhounds hit the road and immediately
