Mark Gault and Laura Gault are Austin natives who have proudly raised 3 children and now have 2 grandchildren to go with them. Mark and Laura are both music enthusiasts and began hosting international bands that attend SXSW in their home a number of years ago. Some of those bands have gone on to become international music sensations. Each year as a culmination to the week of SXSW and 6th St. activities, the guests are treated to a true backyard Texas BBQ with a little live music thrown in for flavor.Click the album covers below to learn more about the visiting artists and their music.

You'll be missed but save us a place (and a beer) at that big party on the other side.
Here's to you man!

PS We'll be sure to pass on your party tips to the next generation.
