Welcome to 'NITES
'NITES was an Austin-based blog that covered the local music scene in Central Texas. I started this blog because I love live music and I think Austin is the best city in the world to discover talented new bands. I ran this blog with passion and enthusiasm for a few years, before growing apart from the scene I'd once lived and breathed. This blog spent a year in limbo before I made the final decision to shutter it. The blog's previous posts will remain live, but there will be no future updates. Thanks for your years of readership and feedback. It was fun while it lasted, but times change. People change. Scenes change. Change isn't something to fear, but rather something to embrace. Peace, love and rock 'n' roll, y'all. Feel free to dig through the archives for photos, videos and writeups about Austin music from 2008 to 2010. If you use my work anywhere, please give me credit. Thanks!

Episode#15: Robin Smith
Robin Smith, a self-taught singer-songwriter from the Midwest, has sung her insightful heart-on-her-sleeve songs in Austin since 2005, when she moved here sight-unseen. It was a smart move on Smith's part. Her mellow acoustic pop, sometimes backed by cello and keys, has delivered her a local following that's grown steadily and she now holds down a weekly residency at Momo's (6th Street and Rio Grande). Check Robin out every Thursday in January. If you can't wait that long, she plays Momo's on the 16th.
Filmed on October 5, 2008
Venue: The Parish on 6th St.
Songs: untitled song / "Bonded" / "Weightless"
