Fri. May 31, 2013—Kevin and Dustin Welch Kevin Welch has been referred to as a ‘songwriters songwriter’ an expressive singer and a great guitarist. His songs have been recorded by a variety of artists including Roger Miller, Trisha Yearwood, Jimmy LaFave, The Highywaymen, Tracy Grammer, Linda Ronstadt and the list goes on. That said, no one does a Kevin Welch song like he does.. He casts a spell over his audience with his words, sincerity, musicianship and when the night is over you know you have experienced something special. Kevin is among a handful of truly great American songwriters, regardless of genre. He was Americana before they had a name for it and few performers can fill a room with their presence as well this thoughtful Okie. His latest release, Patch of Blue Sky on Texas’ Music Road Records, ` is just another example of the great songwriting that his fans have come to expect from this outstanding musician.. http://www.kevinwelch.com/ Dustin is also performing with his father!! Dustin Welch was born on a cold Winter Solstice in a haunted plantation house on the grounds of a Tennessee horse farm. His birth room was heated by a red-hot $80 tin stove that burned whatever deadwood trees his dad could drag out of the woods by tractor and chains. He was the first born son of a first born son. His mother was the daughter of an Indian Princess, and the grand-daughter of one of the last living original members of the Osage Tribe. That very night his father made a silent promise, a sacred promise, that the boy would have a mandolin on his fifth birthday. Probably inspired largely by his early exposure to Bela Fleck’s Revolutionary approach to the banjo, Dustin began devising a unique style of his own. Bare-fingered, open tuning, Appalachian flavored grooves and melodies coupled with literate lyrics, strange and beautiful, and the songs kept coming. He wrote them by himself, he wrote them with friends, relatives, the friends of relatives…. http://www.dustinwelch.com/ Sat June 1, 2013 Shake Russell To fully appreciate and comprehend the magnitude of Shake’s contributions to music, one need only listen to his life’s work. From his 1976 album, “Songs on the Radio,” to the 2006 he is so widely celebrated as a Texas music legend. He recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from My Texas Music!!!!http://shakerussell.com
Fri. June 7, 2013 Jack Saunders and Danny Everitt “What we’ve got here are two front men backing each other up. As respected performing artists, Danny and Jack play listening rooms, house concerts and festivals year round. They are bona fide troubadours in the time-tested Texas tradition. They sound like sundown in Kerrville. They sound like everything you love about the Lone Star State.” http://eventful.com/galveston/events/jack-saunders-danny-everitt-/E0-001-055653876-2
Sat. June 8, 2013 Wood and Wire Founded in 2010 by guitarist Tony Kamel and mandolin player Matt Slusher, who honed their acoustic skills playing with acts like Graham Wilkinson, South Austin Jug Band and Rodney Hayden, respectively, Wood & Wire began to take form when bassist Dom Fisher joined Matt and Tony’s jam sessions. Last spring, the trio officially added Trevor Smith (Green Mountain Grass) on banjo and started making a name for itself on the Austin music scene, their infectious songs and high-energy live performances drawing fans to venues like the legendary Cactus Cafe. http://woodandwireband.com/ Opening—Michael Anthony Shanks If Jack Kerouac and John Coltrane somehow had a baby who grew up in Texas, you'd get the funk/folk of Michael Anthony Shanks. His songwriting features off the wall lyrics, live looping and always a big fat beat. Michael has performed all over the world with amazing musicians such as Jovino Santos Neto, Down North and Mando Saenz, and he is about to release his debut solo album this summer. www.shankstermusic.com
Fri. June 14, 2013 Craig Kinsey “A poet is not someone who writes poetry; a poet is someone who lives a deep and odd life.” Born a full turn from the white picket fences of America, Craig Kinsey was raised on Southern lore from a family of moon shiners. His teenage years were spent train hopping, walking, and driving across the country in search of “the old days… Guthrie, Kerouac, and John Lee Hooker.” "Craig Kinsey’s new album, The Burdener, carries the punch of his diverse life. It starts off with a circus— a raucous, grinding New Orleans sounding Deep Vermillion Rug. The epic Waiting on a Train and St. Anne’s door weave barroom piano, brass and strings while Montrose Blvd. Blues pays homage to Houston’s gypsy and frontier styled swing. The Burdener is Kinsey’s first solo effort apart from the Sideshow Tramps, a band with a five year history of surviving floods, fires, police raids, and a shipwreck while receiving the title “legendary” and “Best Stage Act” by the Houston Press. http://www.myspace.com/craigkinseystuff#! Sat. June 15, 2013 The Hemmerridge Mountain Boys These guys are performing their 101st Final Gig. After touring with Townes Van Zandt as his back up band, The Hemmerridge Mountain Boys were formed. Their music is timeless and this could possibly be their final performance. Yes, we all grow up gracefully and these guys are as great as they were when they toured with Townes. Wrecks played Bass with Lightin’ Hopkins for over a decade and is the proud owner of the Old Quarter Acoustic Café with his wife. Come out and support these guys!!!!
Fri. June 21, 2013 Kevin Anthony In 2010, Kevin released his first solo album entitled “North Star”, which featured “Hurricane Ike”. This autobiographical song about the hurricane that devastated Galveston in 2008 received airplay throughout the country. This eleven-track effort sees reminders of what he brought to his partnership with his mid-west based band, The Twin City Playboys. His new songs fit in beautifully, in addition to bringing a new sound into the fold. Anthony’s smooth voice comes through brilliantly – it’s soulful, warm and lovely, and throughout the record shows not only that he is a gifted singer, but an incredibly talented, straightforward lyricist.
Sat. June 22, 2013 Lisa Morales…. After building a strong reputation with sister Roberta as Sisters Morales, Lisa Morales steps out on her own with an album of self-penned songs that are more about emotion than they are about pretty. In the three years since their last record (Talking to the River-produced by Los Lobos Steve Berlin), their mother, Gloria, died after a struggle with cancer. It was Gloria's fight for life, not her loss, that made Lisa re-examine her own life. Beautiful Mistake finds her doing just that. Her writing on this album is her best to date! http://www.lonestarmusic.com/LisaMorales
Fri. June 28, 2013 Seth Walker Yes, he is coming! The driving delivery and infectious down-home style of Seth Walker’s voice and songs resonate with Blues and Roots music. Although he is heavily influenced by guitar players--B.B. King, T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin to name just a few, Seth also has a great gift for songwriting in the blues idiom. “These songs sound like classics-- matter of fact, they are!” says Chris Tomlin, Gold Record recording artist. http://www.sethwalker.com/music.html
