Local photographers, music junkies, and social media experts Mark C. Austin and Amber Roussel recently launched a website for the “BackSeat Jukebox” concept they started during the Fiesta Movement. So far, the duo has posted videos from Buxton, Benjamin Wesley, Lee Alexander, Wayside Drive, Fat Tony, Tyagaraja, and more.

You can check it out at the Backseat Jukebox website, on Facebook, and Twitter.
