Beau’s Backyard: Janky & the Juke Joint Boys
Scott “Janky” Lindsey is an Austin, TX singer/songwriter bluesman on a mission to bring “good-time vibes” back to the blues. Janky reflects his love of the old juke joints in all his foot-stomping music.
Janky is right at home busking on a street corner, playing a no-stage bar, or making a big venue feel like a juke joint. Janky’s biggest influences are Reverend KM Williams, R.L. Burnside, and Junior Kimbrough, three masters of the juke joint North Mississippi sound.
Janky was mentored in juke blues by the Texas blues great, Reverend KM Williams. Besides playing bass for the Reverend, Janky produced and recorded five of the Rev’s CDs and has toured all over with the Rev soaking up all that sound.
As the largest outdoor restaurant in Texas, The OASIS, Lake Travis restaurant, has earned the reputation as the Sunset Capital of Texas.
