On Wednesday, April 18, 2012, many of Tommy’s bandmates and good friends gathered together at Antone’s in Austin, Texas, to honor one of the cities most beloved musicians.  Sharing the stage with Tommy were Chris Layton & Reese Wynans (in their first Austin appearance together in more than 10 years), Storyville’s Malford Milligan, David Grissom, and David Holt, Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Ely, Bill Carter, Alan Haynes, along with members of Krackerjack, Eightysixxed, and the Antone’s Blue Tuesday Band.

While photographer Todd V. Wolfson was the designated show photographer for the evening, several other nationally recognized photographers were in attendance and have graciously allowed us to post pictures from the extraordinary evening as well.
