Mother Falcon

For starters, there’s 22 of them. Mother Falcon is an Austin-born and raised orchestra that strings guitar, violin, cello, horn, drum and piano players into one kick-ass, room-filling jam session. They stopped by GSD&M to play a few songs, and it goes without saying that the sounds cascaded through the halls and offered a truly pleasurable experience. It’s no surprise that before any of its members graduated high school, they were playing all over Austin and scoring front-page features in local publications like The Austin Chronicle. Having gained themselves some street cred, the 22-member orchestra now sells out shows in Texas and beyond and has already debuted a third album.
