2:27am in Austin | A Conversation with Ramsay Midwood at Sam's Town Point | Ep 77
It's 2:27 in the morning on a Saturday night in Austin, Texas. The crowd has cleared out. The band has packed up. And Ramsay Midwood and I sit in a dark corner of Sam's Town Point — talking.
I'd been listening to Ramsay's music for five or six years before I ever made it down there. Found him on Boot Liquor Radio — part of the Soma FM family of deep-cut internet stations — and I couldn't stop. That voice. Those lyrics. Funny, sharp, sometimes quietly heartbreaking. Beautifully crooked snapshots of America.
Five years of telling myself: one day I'm going to Austin to see this guy.
What I thought would be a twenty-minute conversation turned into more than an hour. His childhood outside Washington D.C. — raised by a father who went to college on a music scholarship but found his true calling as a novelist and poet, and a mother who was a painter. Theater at James Madison University. The Steppenwolf in Chicago. Los Angeles. A house fire. And a wrong turn on the way to a Super Bowl party that somehow changed everything.
Sam's Town Point has been a South Austin institution since 1981. Tucked off Slaughter Lane in a residential corner of the city — you'd never know it's there unless someone brought you. Ramsay stumbled in for open mic night in 2002. By 2017 he owned the place.
Not a bar owner. Not a businessman. A musician who took a wrong turn and never left.
And somewhere along the way — I think I made a friend.
