Enjoyed two forty-five minute sets of our favorite tango/jazz band, APQ Tango, the other night at a Ham Jam House Concert which was just around the corner from the rancho.
These concerts have been an Austin institution since 2010, featuring acoustic acts across the musical spectrum. The audience is limited to about fifty people, asked for a donation of about $10 each and bring their own food and drink.
The intimate atmosphere in Daren Appelt’s beautiful hilltop home—with views from the second-floor balcony of downtown’s faraway lights—adds a lot to the appeal, and the acts are top-notch. My fine violin teacher James Anderson brings the fiddle fireworks to APQ.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
I’ve listened to the two numbers they have on the site. To my unprofessional ear it sounds v.good.
Their ad copy says they are “stunning audiences,” and that was certainly true the other night at the house concert. You put five extraordinary players together playing original compositions written especially for their skills and you get a stunning result.
