Early-bird celebrations pepper the lead-up to a midweek Juneteenth
Wednesday, June 12, Scott Strickland marveled at the fact that dozens of Black Austinites made it out to observe Juneteenth a week in advance. “You know we can be late sometimes,” he joked. But June 19 – the day, in 1865, that more than 250,000 Black Texans first learned that slavery had ended – occurred two years after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.Nourishing the Soul and Stay Black & Live, two events leading up to this year’s midweek Juneteenth , did just that.
Meanwhile, Moore kept it light, enlisting drummer Dwayne “Gummi Bear” Berry and electric cellist Elis Regina Ramos for a cheeky neo-soul set. Playing originals – including Snoop Dogg collaboration “B.F.U.” – alongside unexpected covers like Spandau Ballet’s “True,” Ginuwine’s “Pony,” and Metro Boomin’s viral Drake diss “BBL Drizzy,” überham Moore loosened up the dimly lit dining room, transforming the evening’s vibe from classy sit-down dinner to freewheeling party.
