  • RED BIO-1-2-1 Bday 5 8 2018
    He is the consummate professional, musical visionary and world class performer. His outlook on life is still as optimistic as when he grew up in Texas. His credit list is as diverse as the music world we live in and he’s shared the stage and counts as friends some of the top names in music. After decades of touring the world, recording and performing multiple genres of music with some of the best known artists through his career, in 2016 he came back to the music that is close to his heart. Red Young, through his exploration of a wide variety of music styles over decades in the music business has put together Red Young & His Hot Horns incorporating his skill and knowledge as an arranger, performer, vocalist, director and keyboardist of jazz, blues, r&b, classical, vocal and every type of music he has heard or played. And in gathering the musicians in his groups, he includes the best he has met and performed with in his 50+ year career. The Horns (5 of them – 2 trumpets; alto-tenor-baritone saxophones) and the rhythm section (acoustic bass & drums) with Red on piano, Hammond organ and vocals; create an energy that exerts something that only 8 musicians can create together as they breathe as one. It’s a power to be experienced. Red Young & His Hot Horns are Steve Butts & David Christopher Young/trumpets; Justin Vasquez, Kaz Kazanoff & Dan Bechdolt/saxes; Brannen Temple/drums; Nick Clark/bass and Red Young Since moving to Austin in 2002, Red has been involved in several of his own groups – Quintet, Quartet and Trio; on organ or piano, and with Black Red Black (with Ephraim Owens and Brannen Temple), and recently with His Hot Horns.

  • The Glaser Brothers Accomplishments and Accolades
    The Glaser Brothers Accomplishments and Accolades © Kevin L. Glaser, 2015 The Glaser Brothers, comprised of Tompall, Chuck and Jim Glaser, were country music visionaries who were deeply immersed in Nashville's music scene during the 1950's through the 1980's. These three Nebraska-born brothers had careers as a noted country music trio, recording as "Tompall & The Glaser Brothers," and also as individuals. They released records utilizing unique harmonies, they toured the USA and abroad, they owned publishing companies, they wrote songs and did so much more. In fact, there was little that these three men did not do while they were active in the country music industry. So, it's sad to know that many of their impressive accomplishments have either never been known publically, or have been forgotten by people today who create or listen to country music. The intent of this document is to share information about The Glaser Brothers collectively, and about Tompall, Chuck and Jim Glaser individually. While not as well known as many other country music artists, I invite you to compare what they have accomplished with any other historical country music figures. While perhaps others have done as much as the Glasers, no one comes to mind who has done more than The Glaser Brothers, individually and as a group. If you agree, please share your opinion with the Country Music Association and ask them to consider inducting The Glaser Brothers into the Country Music Hall of Fame to acknowledge their contributions to country music and to give them the recognition that they so justly deserve.

Unfortunately for them, healthcare is often a secondary priority when trying to pay for basic needs like groceries and rent. As Austin continues to grow and more people move here, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for many of our musicians to continue performing. Austin’s cost of living is on the rise, and I would hate for our community to look back in 20 years and realize most musicians have moved away. Simply put - musicians help to weave the unique and diverse fabric of our city. Each year, HAAM Day brings all of Austin together to sing praise for keeping our musicians alive and healthy.
