Lake Travis Area Celebrity Sightings

Written by Cathy Hale | December 5, 2013

Andy RoddickYou don’t have to be in LA or New York to enjoy celebrity sightings these days. In fact, you could just be strolling through Dick’s Sporting Goods in the Hill Country Galleria (Bee Cave) and bump into retired tennis champion Andy Roddick testing out new golf clubs. Or you could be grabbing a burger at P.Terry’s on RR 620 and see Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves with their kiddos.

It’s no secret Austin is a hotbed for celebrities, but they don’t just stay in SoCo all of time. Celebs trickle into the outskirts of the Hill Country and have been spotted all over Austin’s Lake Travis area.

Not far from Lake Travis, Jesse James, best known for his motorcycle expertise and West Coast Choppers, resides in Dripping Springs with his family. He owns Austin Speed Shop downtown and just opened a new gun shop nearby, Jesse James Firearms Unlimited. Jesse and his family have been spotted at Sonic in Lakeway, ordering burgers and chocolate shakes. Jesse can also be spotted on one of his many motorcycles headed out into the Hill Country. Back in 2010, after his divorce from Sandra Bullock, Jesse James and his then girlfriend Kat Von D made headlines by spending a romantic weekend together in Fredericksburg, Texas.

South Shores Blues Festival

You can always find live music in the Lake Travis area and this weekend is no exception. If you’re a fan of the blues or just a fan of festivals, you will not want to miss the inaugural South Shore Blues Festival, happening this Saturday just west of weird at the Iguana Grill.

The weather and views of Lake Travis will be spectacular, seven Austin-based blues artists will be taking the stage, Mexican food and cold drinks with table side service, a Dia De Los Muertos costume contest…and you can buy an adult ticket for $15—say what?

The festival kicks off at 3pm with The Jacqui Walker Band and each band following will take the stage at the top of the hour, every hour. The headliner and 2013 Heart of Texas Blues Challenge Winner – J.T. Coldfire will bring his own style of blues starting at 9pm. The lineup in-between includes Mojo House, Skye Downing, The Every Day Blues Band, Swamp Bats, and Austin Rogue Gypsies—you can read more about each band and listen to their music here.

A Comedy Show Coming to the Lake Travis Area

Written by Todd Hower | September 18, 2013

It’s not often that we get to experience a comedy show in the Lake Travis area. So, I wanted to let my fellow Lake Travis area fans of funny know about a comedy show coming to Bee Cave.

You may have been to a concert at The Backyard, but what about a comedy show? If you are a fan of funny, this is a comedy show in the Lake Travis area that you don’t want to miss. This event is put on by Gold’s Gym in Bee Caves and features three of the funniest comics in Austin. If you’re fans of any of these folks, grab tickets quick. The Glenn Theatre can sell out fast when hilarity hits the radar.

Want to learn more about Comedy Night at The Glen Theatre? Well, here’s the scoop directly from the event page:

Matt Sadler has been performing comedy for over 18 years. Headlining around the world in dozens of countries, his machine-gun delivery has entertained all over Canada, the Caribbean, and in performances for U.S. troops in Asia and the Middle East. He has appeared on Comedy Central, he’s been heard on NPR, and he was the winner of the HBO Talent Search as well as the Carnival Comedy Challenge. Most recently, he was on the Oddball Comedy Tour with Dave Chappelle and Flight of the Conchords.

Nancy Reed: “Sweet and salty, surprisingly wise for a wise-ass.” (Austin Chronicle) Both naughty and nice, Nancy’s a hoot!

From her ultra pierced and tattooed daughters now raising teens of their own, to her Mom dating much younger men, her life naturally leads to laughs. She’s unique woman that’s just as funny to the guys, as she is to the gals. A 25 yr. comedy veteran and past winner of “The Funniest Person in Austin Contest”, Nancy works with her buddies Ron White & Tommy Chong, and has traveled overseas to entertain our troops. Look for her new DVD “Yoga and Cigarettes” due to be released in August.

Tom Hester: Your host and M.C. and past winner of “the Funniest Person in Austin”. He was the #1 requested comic on XM Radio and has performed on NBC and has performed more than a 1000 shows in more that 7 countries world wide.
