Best Way to Rock This Town

Natural Ear Music Camp

CRITICS, Kids

How cool is this? You're 10 years old, a veteran of summer music camps, can play enough 13th Floor Elevators songs for a mini-set, and Roky Erickson shows up for your gig!

Natural Ear Music Camp founder Michele Murphy and camp director Alvin Crow were thrilled with his appearance, but the spotlight was on the kids.

Since the early Nineties, Murphy has been developing the successful summer programs that teach kids not just how to play but the dynamics of performing in a group. Where else but Austin would hedge its bets for the future by creating its next generation?
