Karen Abrahams
Listen to the wide range of award-winning songs from Karen Abrahams at the Market. She's got a gutsy Americana sound that also can break into a blues ramble and a walk on the bluegrass side. She is noted as a Kerrville Folk winner and a recipient of the Austin Theatre Critics award for original music, as well as garnering the B. Iden Payne award for original music. Her CDs include Written All My Letters, For the Love of the Song, Still Feeling Blue and Nowhere But Texas.
Come hear the band play nowhere else but the Austin Farmers' Market this Saturday at 10 a.m., at the east end of the Market in the street.

This first week of the market, we'll be having a band that will wake up the robins and get the plants to spring from their roots. The group, called Cerronato, has music traces to the classic vallenato style in Coloumbia and Latin America. In the vallento vain only three instruments are traditional: accordion, a small drum (the caja) and a scraper (the guacharaca). Vocals are important to this storytelling music. As the music has become more urbanized, Cumbias have been added. Mike Maddux, accordian player, is the founder.
Other band members include Brad Taylor (bass), and vocalists/percussionists Rita Ricardo and Clemencia Zapata. Maddux is tireless on the squeezebox, and Ricardo's vocal range is up to the challenge of the loopy "Cumbia de los Locos" and the merlot-rich "El Mejoral."
See them, hear them, starting at 10 a.m. at the Market, for dancing in the street!
Cerronato leader Mike Maddux, upon learning that the Market was downtown during SxSW, exclaimed: "Wow, a bunch of hung-over industry people will be out buying their tomatoes." Well, Mike, not exactly, it's not tomato season yet, but the farmers are bringing plenty of early spring crops and there will be coffee!
