TWC News Spotlight
A Word from the Founder – Scott Ward
THANK YOU! 4 More Music Awards for us all!
Strange Brew wins BEST CLUB SOUND, BEST LIVE MUSIC VENUE, BEST VENUE TO PLAY and BEST BOOKER for Kacy Crowley, bringing the total to 12 awards in 4 years!
When we started the music venue, the thought of being an award winning venue, (not to mention an award winning venue that would rack up that many awards in just 4 years), never crossed our minds and although it is wonderful to be acknowledged for hard work and dedication, it isn’t what drive us. The music drives us, the musicians and the fans drive us, the fact that we have been given the privilege to serve our customers and musical guest with a great experience is what drives us and we thank you for giving us that opportunity day in and day out. We will continue to improve in any way we can.
THANK YOU AUSTIN!
