Guns of Navarone, Slowtrain, The Preservation & Carpetbagger Tonight at The Parish

As if a delectable triple bill wasn't enough to send me over the top, this time I've got a four-band bill to rave about, and it is all good. There's a spectacular show lined up for you tonight at The Parish, 214 E. 6th St., with some definite Austin Music Minute favorites. Check it out: -Alt.-country/pop rockers Guns of Navarone.
