1.) BIG EASY EXPRESS Present Mumford & Sons
News just in… To celebrate the film of the Railroad Revival Tour ‘Big Easy Express’ we are very pleased to confirm details of a second screening in Austin from 8pm on Saturday 17th March, following the film’s official SXSW premiere earlier in the day.
Mumford & Sons, along with Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and a few members from Old Crow Medicine, will all be there at the Austin High School Athletic Field, where the screening will take place.
Instruments will be in tow for a little live music following the film too – as a thanks to Austin High School for the temporary loan of the football field, the local community for allowing, nay, actively supporting such events and to all of the peoplez out there who have supported the film.
To apply for free tickets you need to go to Myspace.com/bigeasyexpress and RSVP, then keep your fingers and toes crossed for an email confirmation.
