Delta Spirit is an indie rock and blues band now based out of Brooklyn, New York’s ever-expanding music scene. Last Thursday, the five guys did an in-store performance at Houston’s own Cactus Music, which is sort of like the “Amoeba of Texas.” They played a short set to a small crowd in promotion of their third LP, the self-titled Delta Spirit. After the show, lead singer and songwriter Matt Vasquez talked to me briefly outside in the back of Cactus–in the smoking area and told me exactly what the “Delta Spirit” is. Later that night, I caught the group at Fitzgerald’s in the Heights area, where they played to a near sold-out crowd.
