We gathered in Austin, following our individual dreams to make sounds pleasing to our own ears and to the ears of others. We came from many different places in North America, and our ancestors all probably arrived in this land sometime between the 16th & 20th centuries. We play music in a style first popularized by African-American entertainers in the early 20th century. Headed by Clifton Tipton.

Webster's Ragtime Trio - 1st Weds at Batch
2026-03-04 19:00 - 21:00
Webster‘s ragtime trio is a throwback to a style of music that went largely unrecorded. Around the turn-of-the-century, it is said that there was lots of string bands, i.e. mandolin, banjo, guitar, bow cello, playing the popular hits of the day including classic ragtime compositions like the Maple Leaf Rag. Although that type of music was composed for marching bands and solo piano performance, it is hard not to notice how joyful it sounds played on acoustic stringed instruments.

They don’t stop there, they more than dip their toes into ragged Texas Fiddle tunes from the 78 RPM era, even venturing across the pond to play the occasional archaic Polish mazurka, and/or striking up borderland polka Harkening back to the glory days of Tejas.

Alexander Jones, Will Webster, and Westen Borghesi make up this fine trio.
