about

Ten years ago, Andrew Blanton arrived in Austin, Texas with a guitar and a notebook of songs. He quickly landed a weekly spot at the Hole in the Wall, the famed listening room on the outskirts of the University of Texas that once housed Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley, and he regularly performs his unique blend of Tejano and Americana in the Texas Hill Country.

While building his catalog, Blanton toured from the open-sky stages in Terlingua to the beach clubs on the Gulf of Mexico with an EP of self recorded works. Though it was a dream to produce a studio album, the budget was tied up on the road.

In 2023, The City of Austin announced the creation of the Live Music Fund, a grant program designed to support Austin’s local music scene. Blanton knew it was the right time to pitch the idea for “Laredo.”

“I set out to honor the unique melting pot that we call home,” Blanton said. “My parents used to load all of us up into a massive ‘88 Suburban and drive us across the state while playing the Texas Tornados, Guy Clark, and Asleep at the Wheel. The mixture of Tejano and Country we have in Texas holds a special place in my heart, and I wanted to honor Mexican culture with Laredo.”
