For those who aren’t out celebrating the birthdays of Ronnie Milsap, Aaliyah, or Ethel Merman Saturday night or resting up from a busy National Influenza Vaccination Week, Li’l Cap’n Travis is playing with The Lonesome Heroes and The Low Lows at the Continental Club . Li’l Cap’n Travis has been a popular staple of the Austin music scene for around 10 years now, playing shows semi-regularly ever since the band’s debut release. The group started as a side project for the members to wring out all the fun songs rattling around in their collective mind they couldn’t purge in other projects, but soon their mix of country, psych rock and pop became a primary gig with the band releasing three more recordings by 2007.
Included in The Lonesome Heroes’ list of influences is Li’l Cap’n Travis, along with others like The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Magnetic Fields, and The Flaming Lips. The group clearly has a wide range of musical interests, perhaps only surpassed by the number of instruments you could hear on any given track. The 7-plus band members bring everything from pedal steel to saxophone to fiddle to melodica into their twangy indie Americana.
One of America’s greatest musical actresses, Ethel Merman was born Ethel Zimmerman (sometimes spelled Zimmermann) in Queens, New York, on January 16, 1909. After graduating from high school, by day she was a secretary, while by night she slowly carved out a career as a nightclub singer. Shortening her last name to Merman, she was soon working with veteran showmen, including Jimmy Durante and Eddie Jackson. While performing at a Brooklyn theater, Merman was spotted by a Broadway producer who brought composer George Gershwin to see her act. Gershwin was so struck by her powerful voice that he gave her a part in his musical Girl Crazy (1930) and even offered to rewrite some of his songs to better suit her. In the show, Merman caused a sensation with her dynamic performance of “I Got Rhythm,” which became one of her signature songs. Merman quickly became a Broadway star, appearing in shows put together by the day’s top musical directors. Her early musicals were loosely structured vehicles short on narrative but peppered with soon-to-be-classic songs that she introduced to the American public. For instance, in her five shows featuring music by songwriter Cole Porter, Merman was the first stage interpreter of “Anything Goes,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and “Down in the Depths of the 90th Floor.”Bold and booming, Merman’s voice proved ideal for Broadway theaters with poor acoustics. She was also heralded for her extraordinary presence, which kept theater audiences enthralled as she belted out her numbers. Her larger-than-life stage demeanor, however, played less well on film. She made nine movies in the 1930s—including Anything Goes (1935) and Alexander’s Ragtime Band (1938)—but she still was known primarily...
