A Texan at heart, Austin-bred rocker Rhett Miller sticks close to his Lone Star State roots. There's no rush to his melodies; like a rider on the range, he maintains a steady, breezy determination, digging into pop with the same careful resolve you'd use to mend a fence. While he struggled to achieve the success he eventually earned with college-rock faves Old 97's, there's no denying the quality of his bittersweet baritone. Especially once openers Leslie and the Badgers are done buttering you up with their whiskey-whistling alt-country avant-folk shot through with flecks of jazz, punk rock, and heartstring-plucking Americana.
