DESCRIPTION:
Austin band The Weary Boys plays a brand of country music that harkens back to Austin's debut as a music hotspot in the 1970s, when outlaw country reigned supreme. In that way, the band situates themselves in a growing resurgence of the outlaw country aesthetic, along with Crooks and Guns of Navarone, among others. The Weary Boys have been gaining a lot of ground since their formation in 2000, going from playing street corners to opening for the likes of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson, Leon Russel, and The Drive-By Truckers. They stopped by Studio 1A to visit with John Aielli and share some of their new material.
