We got just the news that Clifford Antone was found dead today in his home of an apparent heart attack at the far too young age of 56. Clifford was an important figure in the Austin music scene: impresario of the legendary blues club, president of the record label and owner of the roots and blues record store, all of which took his name. He was a tireless promoter of the blues, not only through his various businesses, but as an educator, teaching courses in the blues at both the University of Texas and Texas State University. If anyone could be described as a true blues "fiend" it was Clifford, but his impact on the entire music scene in Austin can't be underestimated.
