To hopefully nullify the inherent home-field advantage there, Tinker’s devised a somewhat interesting plan of attack: In order to get his fans into the free September 30 show at Antone’s, Tinker’s rented a charter bus to bring his DFW friends and fans down to Austin and back–quite the strategy, actually.

Details on how to hop on board the Tinker bandwagon bus can be found right here.
