13th Annual Two Ton Tuesdays!

Article by John Goodspeed, Best in Texas

Annual migrations mark the change of seasons around the world. In California, spring wings in with the swallows at Mission San Juan Capistrano. In Texas, the sweltering summer rolls in like a thunderstorm on the first Two Ton Tuesday at Gruene Hall.

It’s a phenomenon rare even in a state where the passion for live music rages like teenage hormones at a sock hop.

For the uninitiated, Two Ton Tuesday is a cross between a sauna and an early Elvis concert.

For devotees, it’s a ton o’ fun, toetappin’ music at Texas’ oldest (and un-air-conditioned) dance hall, and that spirit is celebrated on Two Ton Tuesday Live From Gruene Hall, Palo Duro Records’ justreleased CD/DVD combo capturing the raw energy of one of the state’s best live bands so well that the sweat practically flies from the speakers.
