Just a note to anyone that missed this show,you do not want to miss Hector Ward the next time they come to Crossroads! Great music, Great People & a Great Time! G&M
Wow, what a night (2-18), it truly was a big ol party! Hector if you are reading this, thanks to you and the band for another great night of great music. Gota love those horny bastards:) G&M
The son of Cuban refugees who met in Texas, Ward’s sixteen years of experience in the Austin music scene, including his previous band Sigmund Fraud, are obvious in the band’s high energy, dance-floor filling shows. The members include Ward on guitar and lead vocals, Cari Hutson on vocals, Phil Roach on guitar, Mike McGurk on drums and vibes, Scott Beardsley on bass guitar, and Dave Farris on congas and percussion.The horn line, known for enthusiastically leaving the stage and taking the music into the audience, includes Tiger Anaya on trumpet, Matthew Price on trombone, and Mitch Quintanilla on saxophone, flute and clarinet.
Of Hector Ward and the Big Time’s 2011 South by Southwest showcase, the Austin Chronicle wrote, “Being wheelchair-bound doesn’t hinder Hector Ward from leading one of the most dynamic new bands in Austin’s musical universe. With his huge growl and a nine-piece horn-fueled ensemble, the Big Time utterly attacks an assortment of styles, from Southern soul to Latin pop.”
