Albert Ice House & Dance Hall Celebrates First Anniversary

~ Easley family commemorates with live music from Two Tons of Steel ~

AUSTIN – November 3, 2010 – This weekend, the Texas-born Easley family, owners of the 13-acre historical town Albert, Texas, will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Albert Ice House and Dance Hall with a two-day celebration full of live music. The weekend will kick off with local talent Lisa and Greg, of Trace of Gold along with Riley’s BBQ specials on Friday, November 5 starting at 5:30p in the Ice House Beer Garden. On Saturday, November 6 at 7p, people are invited to dance the night away with music from well-known rockabilly group, Two Tons of Steel and enjoy Riley’s BBQ and ice-cold refreshments in Dance Hall and Beer Garden patio.

Erected in 1922, the Albert Dance Hall originally began as the Ice House, supplying the town’s music entertainment and beer garden. In the fall of 2009, the Easley family made major renovations to preserve both the interior and exterior, even inviting locals to mark the bars with their unique branding irons. Since then, the Albert Dance Hall has been named a member of The Texas Dance Hall Preservation, Inc. and has turned into a Hill Country music destination featuring regular Texas talent including Gary Burg, Lisa and Greg of Trace of Gold, Dean Strickland, Dos Amigos, Dale Watson, Cory Morrow, Aaron Watson, Gary P. Nunn in both the Dance Hall and Ice House venues.

“My family and I are thrilled to be celebrating our first year at Albert. This past year has been a very busy one and a ton of work has been put into reviving this piece of Texas history,” said Brandon Easley on behalf of the Easley family. “We continue to meet new and very special folks every week and that's what makes this venture exciting. Our goal for the next year is to make sure every person who visits Albert has a fantastic experience and leaves planning their next trip back."

Tickets for the anniversary weekend celebration can be purchased at the door for $10 and kids under 10 get in free. Hours of operation are Thursday 3p – midnight, Friday noon – midnight, Saturday 11a – midnight and Sunday noon – midnight.
