       of mine and is a phenomenal writer, lyricist, and songwriter. Through his music

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….

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 
CD, “Love is Why,” Shake’s music is a testament to the reasons why
       he is so widely celebrated as a Texas music legend. He recently received a Lifetime
       Achievement Award from My Texas Music!!!!

Fri. June 7, 2013 Jack Saunders and Danny EverittWhat 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.”

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.

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!

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
