Jukebox Hero: Little Big's In Montrose
 |
Life-long Houston resident Caswell opened up the slider hut just a few months back. He bought a jukebox from the owner of an icehouse off 290 that was closing down. The jukebox came with the requisite beerhall fodder: Seger, Skynyrd, Journey and the like. You know, the kind of stuff your Dad used to listen to in the garage as he fixed the lawnmower your stupid teenage ass broke.
Caswell's musical journey began as an adolescent sneaking into the Big Easy off of Kirby, which was just blocks from his house, to see the blues artists and generally soak up the vibe.
The kicker for Caswell is that he doesn't want to just accept free music. He wants to pay for each disc he buys. As Caswell says, "I want to support local guys with my own money. It's an honor to pay for local music, because it helps everyone."

Right now the box is spinning stuff from Buxton, Young Mammals, Last Place You Look, the new Peekaboo Theory release, and one of Caswell's personal favorites Runaway Sun.
