THE WEARY BOYS Reunion with Special Guest Rebecca Patek

When the Weary Boys rolled into Austin from California in 2001, they set the town on fire with their high-octane take on string music. Across six albums, the local quintet showcased the songwriting of Mario Matteoli and Darren Hoff atop a blazing fiddle from Brian Salvi, and the furious rhythm of Cary Ozanian on drums and upright bassist Darren Sluyter.
For a short period just past the turn of the century, Austin’s Weary Boys were the most wanted outlaws here in cow town. Though they splintered into other projects in 2007, their infrequent reunions still spark a crazed hoedown faster than a backwoods bonfire. ~Excerpted from DOUG FREEMAN
