Music on the Patio with The Acoustineers

Don Berryhill

Playing guitar since his early 20’s and an Austin-based songwriter since 2014, Don has established himself as a solid local musician that can rock the house as well as draw a few chuckles and tears from the most stoic of faces with his heartfelt songs and interpretations of enjoyable covers.   

Don writes much of his own music and plays guitar, harmonica, and percussion. He was a founding member of the Austin band The Humdingers who played at such iconic venues as the Broken Spoke, Little Longhorn Saloon, and Mercer Street Dancehall.  In 2018, he released his CD “Timeless Classics” featuring 10 original songs.

Brian Byrwa

Brian Byrwa is a singer-songwriter who started his musical journey in ensemble performance as a high school student playing trumpet in the world-famous Plano Senior High School Band, having opportunities to perform on stage with the great Doc Severinsen. He was inspired to play guitar by a live performance of the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan at the age of 15 and started performing in the local music scene in the Dallas area as a blues guitarist and vocalist.

He relocated to Austin, TX in 2000 to continue pursuing interests in music and songwriting and has been a regular contributor to the Old Settlers Music Festival as the curator of their musical instrument petting zoo and also served as the original host of the Barbershop Picking circle at the Barbershop bar in Dripping Springs, Texas started back in 2013 and still going to date. As of late, his style pulls from influences marked by bluegrass, blues, and rock and roll capturing the human condition as a singer-songwriter.

His latest efforts include being a rotating host at the South Austin Bluegrass Jam as well as performing in the Texas Hill Country winery circuit with fellow musician Don Berryhill.
