Warren Hood and the Hoodlums

Warren Hood is a local Austin fiddle player who is truly a genius. Taught the tradition of classical violin from a young age, he later graduated from the Berklee School of Music. He is probably one of the rare local musicians who can make a living from performing and tends to be a guest performer of all local favorites. Most Sunday nights, he and his band perform his original music and some covers that span many genres of music. Jazz, bluegrass, swing, country, blues, rock, and even... gypsy. This track (link provided by Warren on his website) is by far the most exciting song to hear live. You can't help but clap along.
