Carrie Fussell | KUTX The Hole Story | Live at Hole in the Wall

Video Description

KUTX Presents The Hole Story featuring Carrie Fussell of BRUCE. Filmed July 23, 2025 at Hole in the Wall Raised in rural East Texas, Carrie Fussell learned early that imagination could be a survival skill. For more than a decade, she applied that instinct into the Austin psychedelic folk collective Calliope Musicals. When that chapter closed, she stepped away from performing. Then came a midnight reset. Invited by Jon Dee Graham to join his long-running Wednesday residency at the Continental Club, Carrie took the late-night slot and started again. In those after-hours sets, BRUCE emerged, along with the songs that would become Must Love Teeth. It’s a stretch Carrie said “saved her life.” Taped at Hole in the Wall in July 2025, just one week after the album’s release, this episode features songs shaped entirely during those late nights. Between songs, Carrie reflects on the residency with unfiltered self-awareness, deeply personal stories, and humor. The Hole Story - a new KUTX series featuring stripped-back sets and behind-the-music storytelling, recorded live on the historic front stage of Hole in the Wall. Since 1974, this legendary Austin dive bar has been providing space for artists to cut their musical teeth. It also happens to be right across the street from KUT/X Studios. Season one features stories and sets from Shinyribs, Paige Renée Berry (Half Dream), Jonathan Terrell, Grace Sorensen, Hayes Carll, Carrie Fussell (BRUCE, Calliope Musicals), and Alex Maas (The Black Angels).
