"The cozy Fayette County venue, is a house concert with a marquee, a back porch with a cover charge, hosting the intimacy of a living room on the U.S. 77 thoroughfare."

-Michael Corcoran, Austin American Statesman

"Have you ever wondered how great the sound of an old, Martin guitar would be if you could crawl inside?  Attend any show at The Bugle Boy.  Then you'll know."

 
-Donnie Blanz

 

Performing music in a 1940's wooden floored dance hall
that has been converting into a one-of-a-kind,
intimate listening room makes singing at the Bugle Boy
a rare treat in a world of Idols and overblown pop. No
frills, just a great soundman, Christmas lights
twinkling from above, and a place to share my music:
The Bugle Boy is Austin City Limits meets your living
room. And I say: THANK GOD for it!

-Sara Hickman
 

 

" Out in La Grange at the best little listening room in Texas,
it's all about the music."

-Richard Skanse
Editor, Texas Music Magazine
 

 

"It's hard to name it and it has nothing to do with it's size...
but some rooms have it and some rooms don't...
The Bugle Boy has got it."

- Eliza Gilkyson
 
 

"Coming out to the Bugle Boy is always worth the trip. It's where the music matters"

-Ruthie Foster
 

"The Bugle Boy is a musical oasis, nurturing an audience that is both respectful and adventurous, willing to follow an artist in any direction they may wish to explore."  

A.J. Croce
 

"The Bugle Boy is that rare venue where all the elements come together perfectly - an intimate room, but still a concert; a relaxed and warm welcome from Lane (the owner? the host? the promoter? the proprietress?), but still professional all the way; a Chickering baby grand and killer sound; and an open and supportive audience who knows how lucky they are to have a world class listening room in their own backyard.  We cherish every minute of our shows on that stage."                                   

Christine Albert (Albert and Gage)
 

"The Bugle Boy: the listening room we wish we could have in every town in America.  Part neighborhood watering hole, part Sunday revival tent, this historic building in a humble town halfway between Houston and Austin has become a destination spot for music lovers, musicians of note, and for anyone who wants an evening infused with the best kind of Texas hospitality."   

Erika Luckett
 
 

"The Bugle Boy is a great place to communicate to your audience. It's a perfect setting with great sound, state of the art acoustics, and friendly people in a down-home atmosphere."
