"Doug. What a trip. A child prodigy from San Antonio. Played with Hank Williams SR. as a child. Could talk faster, without seeming to ever take breath, than anyone I’ve ever met. He was pivotal in making Austin what it is. He played uplifting rock and roll with an Hispanic angle.
The story goes that Jerry Wexler, the famous producer, took a trip to Austin to check out all of the new music unexpectedly coming out of here in the early-mid 70s… After he was back home, someone asked he what he thought about Austin.

About the Photographer
About the Photographer
Scott Newton is a longtime resident of Austin, TX. He moved to Austin as a 21 year old college student in 1970 and graduated from UT in 1972 with an English degree.
Soon after graduation, he picked up a camera and started shooting. He shot everything, discovering he enjoyed shooting musicians most. Many nights were spent dancing the night away at the old Armadillo World Headquarters.
Eventually he trained himself to be a photographer. He started freelancing in 1973, eventually working his way to being the only staff stills employee at Austin City Limits in 1979, a position he's held ever since.
These photos are a sample of his career over the last 43 years.
