Ryley Walker & David Grubbs: September 12, 2019 Trans-Pecos

We’ve seen our man Ryley Walker hit the stage with David Grubbs as recently as the final night of his Union Pool residency earlier this year — that night with Ryan Jewell and C. Spencer Yeh also in the mix. But as we all know, one Ryley show rarely bears much resemblance to another, particularly when it comes to the panoply of collaborations in which he engages. If RW isn’t the hardest working man in music, he’s got to be up there, touring constantly, opening for other acts, playing band gigs, solo gigs, and stuff like this — all within the span of a week or even a single day.

This set at Trans-Pecos came just a few days after his sojourn at Hopscotch Music Festival (look for those shows soon) where played yet another collab show followed by a full band set within a span of hours. Walker is a professed fan of Grubbs, and the mind-meld between the two musicians easily bridged any generational divides on this night, as they took turns leading and following, creating a dual-guitar piece that kept the packed room in contemplative silence.

Speaking of Ryley Walker and collaborations, he has a record coming up on Thrill Jockey on November 8 with Charles Rumback. I think you should buy it.

This recording is straight off the Trans-Pecos digital soundboard, and it’s clean as a whistle. Enjoy!
