Photo by John Carrico Since 2000, The Dime Store Poets have made their home in South Austin, Texas. Their music is as varied as the eclectic town that surrounds them. Incorporating jazz, swing, bluegrass, and pop, the Poets pound out a style that is unique and cohesive.
Since 2008, the Dime Store Poets have shuffled their line-up of musicians
frequently. Of late, their performances consist mostly of a line up
featuring acoustic guitar and stand-up bass. Many of the harmonies are
gone, but the songs remain...stripped down and honest. 
The band
released three albums from 2002 thru 2005. At least one single from all
three albums are still on permanent rotation at the Austin Bergstrum
International Airport. During this same period, the Poets twice
represented South Austin in the SXSW Music Festival.
The Dime Store Poets continue to carve out their niche with each southside performance. Armed with their swinging eclectic bag of musical fun, the band regularly sets it up and tears it down at such hallowed establishments as The Saxon Pub, Threadgill's World Headquarters,
and Maria's Taco-XPress. Keep an eye on the calendar, and the band will see you there soon.
