Austin Roots

In March 2020, when the world shut down, Eddie Wilson compiled an eclectic list of Austin's artists, authors, movers, and shakers who defined the city's cultural scene in the sixties, seventies, and eighties. In their words, we thread together what made the city they called home, a world renown destination for music, art, and food. Listen to Eddie (Threadgill's proprietor and author of Armadillo World Headquarters), historian Jason Mellard, and our esteemed friends connect on a nostalgic journey down memory lane, with stories of food, music, politics, measuring the true character of Austin, Texas.Music by Jake Andrews MusicContent Warning: adult themesHost, Eddie Wilson - Armadillo World Headquarters founder @ThreadgillsHost, Dr. Jason Mellard - Cultural historian @jasondeanmellardEditor, Renee O'Connor Music Mixing, Matt Carlson @axemanguitarProducer, Renee O'Connor @realreneeoconnorProducer, Sandra Wilson @sandrawilson709Executive Producer, TSSIMusic by Jake Andrews Music @
