The Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) will host a high-energy Opening Block Party, both inside and outside Austin City Limits (ACL) to kick off its 41st Annual Convention & Trade Show in Austin (November 12-14).
Sunday evening, November 12, part of 2nd Street outside ACL will be closed for STAFDA attendees to take advantage of street dining from food trucks ranging from tacos, BBQ, to a local favorite: hot and crunchy cones filled with chicken, shrimp, or avocado. The W Hotel, adjacent to ACL and the Block Party, will fire up their patio grills to serve-up flank steak, brisket, and tenderloin.
Austin’s top rock band, The Bob Schneider Band, will perform inside ACL’s Moody Theater. Schneider has won numerous Austin Music Awards including Band of the Year, Musician of the Year, Song and Album of the Year, Vocalist of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year consecutively from 1991-2010. He’s also been an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band.
What’s that brash, loud brass band running around the street? It’s the Minor Mishap Marching Band. This renegade, circus-punk brass band is known for their bumble-bee costumes and ability to climb on anything they can find to entertain.
Minor Mishap has been described as “if all the hooligans that got kicked out of marching band for their boisterousness and punk rock covers came together and formed a band.”
While Schneider’s rockin’ the main stage, another local favorite, Tameca Jones, will provide her own energy in ACL’s first floor studio, 3Ten. Dubbed the “Queen of Austin Soul,” she’ll give vibrant interpretations from a diverse list of artists: Tina Turner, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana and more. In 2015, Tameca kicked off the Austin City Limits Festival with her “big, sweet, soulful voice” and she’ll deliver the same sound for STAFDA.
