"What a wonderful opportunity to experience musical artistry in an intimate setting. I felt like I was sitting in a private space with 50 of my friends, all of whom loved the music and were respectful to the artist. Bugle Boy is a great place to listen and be more deeply engaged with a musical group. We will be returning again and again."

Watching Taylor Pie and Michael O'Connor via the Concert Window stream. It looks and sounds good! I'm probably gonna have to cut out before y'all finish up but am so glad for the chance to tune in for even an hour or so. Thanks for streaming! (Watching from N. Austin, by the way.)
Mike Hall - Sunday, May 6th, 2012
Greetings from Uncle Calvin's! Glad to see you guys hooked up with the Concert Window folks (we tried, but they said we don't do enough shows). Excellent picture and sound, and I love all the folks on the bill today. Y'all are doing a great job!

David Holiday - Sunday, May 6th, 2012
I can only watch the first set of your broadcast today, but thoroughly enjoyed it!
As Kirk noted, likewise here in Falls Church, VA, the quality of sound, video and performers are all excellent!
And nice hearing Kat Edmondson in the background there, but have to run now.
Look forward to seeing other shows from your venue.
Kirk Pate - Sunday, May 6th, 2012
It is exciting to access the first live streaming broadcast from the Bugle Boy. The quailty of the performers, the video and audio are excellent.
I look forward to future broadcasts when I can't make it to the Bugle Boy.
Thanks for staying ahead of the times!

Saturday April 14 was my first visit. This was the best sound of Ruben V i have experienced. All the different sounds of Gabe Herrera, his percussionist, were clear and crisp. His talent was never more evident than with what i heard tonight at The Bugle Boy. Of course anyone familiar with him are fully aware of what Ruben brings to the table of music. However, I have not experienced that table set with such a rich and pure feast for the ears. The beauty generated by the nimble fingers of Ruben was at its extreme emotional experience. Each note pulled and every stretched string was at its truest to the passion of the artist. The stories of how life's love and spirit moved the artist to compose his songs was both amusing and charming. Everyone in attendance was thankful for the gift of two hours with Ruben V. Watch your calendar for his return to set aside your time early. Surely the next time will be a packed house.
Colorado Valley Dark-Dky Explorers - Friday, October 28th, 2011
The Colorado Valley Dark-Sky Explorers would like to thank all of you who attended our showing of The City Dark on Sunday at the Bugle Boy. We hope that you enjoyed the film and gained some very valuable information along the way as we take steps to preserve the dark skies we have in and around Fayette County.
Our group will continue to open a dialogue with citizens, local officials and utilities about this issue and the benefits of utilizing responsible outdoor lighting, and are hopeful you will spread the word as well. Please let us know if we can help you in any way or if you would like to help us in educating and informing our community.
Also, please help support The Bugle Boy which performs such a vital community service in raising awareness about so many esoteric yet significant issues to all of us; and provides us with such top-notch performing artists. We are extremely lucky to have a venue like The Bugle Boy in our community.
Thanks once again and please do not hesitate to contact us with questions, comments or feedback.
Best,
CVDExplorers

The first time I visited The Bugle Boy, I wasn´t quite sure what to expect. I´d never been to a ´listening room´. IT WAS AWESOME! The place is small and intimate so you´re close to the band and the sound is absolutely fantastic. Most of the staff are volunteers which speaks volumes about the place. The owner, Lane, appreciates each and every guest and makes them feel welcome. It´s like she knows they´re about to experience something way different from any bar or concert venue and I think that brings her a great deal of peace and contentment which, in turn, is reflected in every aspect of The Bugle Boy. That place just had this cool, calm, laid back aura and vibe that you´ll fall in love with. You really have to check it out.
And if you get a chance, go see Woody Russell; he plays there from time to time. His musical style and talent is beyond anything I could begin to put into words. It´s so incredible to see and hear his band play. He´s just…wow!
I´ve seen a number of shows at The Bugle Boy and have immensely enjoyed every one. It´s a bit of a drive from Cedar Park to LaGrange… and worth every bit of it.

Hi Lane,
Just want to send a BIG thank you to you and your volunteers for your wonderful hospitality and for providing one of the most enjoyable experiences we've had so far screening the movie. You guys are the best. It felt like home the minute we walked in the door. Thankyouthankyouthankyou...

Dear Lane and Pete, Pat and the other beautiful woman helping last night,
I don't know How To Say, with brevity, anything. But I'll try. I just sent a long letter to the guys about last night, about what a great job they did. Today I'm just overfull with joy and gratitude. Lane, and all of you, your venue, The Bugle Boy, is magical. But I know it's not just the swirling mass of creative juju that's settled amidst the coffee-flavoring bottles and hemp t-shirts, the stage lights and the cup-holders. It's all the little decisions and big sacrifices that you've made over seven years' time to create a space that as a performing artist, I call Heaven. I can see in every square inch of the place the love that's been poured into a vision that shimmers this day, and I wish there was one of those big, pointing-fingers positioned in the sky, all lighted up that you could see from Tulsa or Tucumcari, with a sign in gold letters, shining ethereally, that reads "Listen." But I think that Listen must be another word for Grace. It is awesome, and I don't mean that in the trite, culturally clever way we throw the word around nowadays, what you have created. I knew it the first time I came to play, way back when, when I was even greener and more shy, but could feel the love just the same. And last night I felt doted on and fussed over like a Queen with a cold. It made it possible for me to come out of myself and enjoy being in the moment. Sing and play, focus and immerse, screw up and soar. Pete, your ears are the best of any soundman's I've known since starting to play rooms that have dedicated sound systems and techs. You're the best. Bar none. Thanks to all of you for making it so easy to pull the songs out of my heart instead of my head.
Matt & Beth Parli - Sunday, August 1st, 2010
What a pleasant evening we had at the Bugle Boy listening to Greg Whitfield and Mark Dotson. The music was fantastic and the atmosphere even better. Who would imagine such a wonderful venue that close to home. A special thanks to all of the volunteers that helped make that night, and each night there, happen.

"I was so glad to hear the Bugle Boy will present 'Before the Music Dies.' It's an eye-opening film which lays out many of the broken elements of today's music industry very clearly. It will leave you with many questions, but the Bugle Boy itself, guided by Lane's vision, represents one beautiful answer. It is more than a venue, it is a platform that elevates the audience and artist alike to create an extraordinary experience for everyone. The world really needs more places like that."
Valerie Devine - Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Hi Lane! My family was at the show case yesterday on 3/21/10, and I wanted to thank you all for a great experience and a fun afternoon! What a great place! My daughter Molli participated in the show case and we look forward to returning with her and next time having her older sister participate too. We have been blessed with children with God given talent and you have provided a wonderful place for them to grow and share! We met many wonderful supportive artists as well. Thanks!
clive and jeannie lambert - Monday, February 8th, 2010
Thrilled to plan a trip to Austin, the heartland of good music, we were then overjoyed to travel to La Grange to see the peerless Eliza Gilkyson and Mike Hardwick in the intimate cosy club that is The Bugle Boy; a warm welcome awaited from Lane and the crew, comfy seats, Texas beer from a nearby brewery, and a friendly music savvy crowd...all of which is much appreciated and we shall return! Keep up the good work Buglers - and to all who live anywhere near or far, lucky us!
