 Sun 2/21  An Evening with Guy Clark (Master Songwriter)
    SOLD OUT
Songwriting legend Guy Clark doesn't merely compose songs; he projects images and characters with the kind
of hands-on care and respect of a literary master. Clark works slowly and with strict attention to detail, and has
produced an impressive collection of timeless gems, leaving very little waste behind. The emotional level of his work
, as well as the admiration and esteem of his peers, consistently transcends sales figures and musical genres.
Using everyday language to construct extraordinary songs for more than 35 years, Clark continues to be the type
of songwriter whom young artists study and seasoned writers, as well discriminating listeners, revere.

 Fri 2/26  Terri Clark  "Unplugged and Alone" (Country)
Knuckleheads goes Red tonight (Go Red for Women)

With the 2009 release of The Long Way Home, Terri Clark emerges as her own woman. A platinum-selling artist,
a hard-charging performer, a CMA Female Vocalist of the Year nominee, the 8-time Canadian Country Music Association Fans Choice Entertainer of the Year assumes true ownership of her music: making an album to her own truth and the result is a record
that captures the tides of adult lives, great passions and the struggles that mark our journey
Terri has had several Top 10 hit including "Better Things to Do," "When Boy Meets Girl," "If I Were You," "Emotional Girl,"
"Now That I Found You"and a remake of "Poor Poor Pitiful Me." Clark hit No. 1 in 1998 with "You're Easy on the Eyes"
and again in 2004 with "Girls Lie Too.

 Sat 2/27  Grayson Capps & The Stumpknockers
New Orleans Music

Rott N Roll. The title originated with Grayson Capps fans in New Orleans as an explanation of his music. Prostitutes,
alcoholics, vagrants and drifters often inhabit the southern troubadours songs, while his live performances are ignited by
sanctified Southern soul, howling back-country stomp and raucous roadhouse blues.. Slowly, but surely, the phrase spread
from one city to the next as the definition of the Grayson Capps experience. For Grayson himself, Rott N Roll has come
to represent the state of mind needed to play uncompromising roots music as a means for survival in the Dirty South; the
yin and yang between the debauchery of life on the road and the come down upon returning home.. Yet, as Grayson makes
clear on Back To The Country, the album’s opening track, when Rott N Roll is the credo, even the serenity of home means
eating cornbread and raising hell.

Fri 3/20 An Evening with Jimmy Webb (singer/songwriter)

best known for the instant classics he provided for such artists as Glen Campbell - By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Wichita Lineman
Galveston,Wheres The Playground, Susie, Richard Harris -MacArthur Park, -Didn't We, the Fifth Dimension - Up, Up and Away,
This Is Your Life, The Brooklyn Bridge - Worst That Could Happen, Art Garfunkel - All I Know, Linda Ronstadt -Easy For You To Say,
Joe Cocker -The Moon's A Harsh Mistress and so on, Jimmy Webb continues to write songs that are as carefully crafted and magical
as the earlier ones. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson hit #1 in the late eighties with another Webb standard,
The Highwayman, a ballad which won him yet another Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year, and a CMA Award for Single Of The Year.
Linda Ronstadt, who has recorded a multitude of his songs throughout her recording career, included four of his efforts on her double platinum album,
Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind. With a discography that reads like a Who's Who in the music world, Webb’s songs continue to grace
a multitude of major recording artists’ albums, from Tony Bennett and Rosemary Clooney, to Urge Overkill, Reba McEntire, and Shawn Colvin.

 Fri 4/2 An Evening with Raul Malo
with special guest Bob Walkenhorst & Jeff Porter
   
On Lucky One, his first album of original material in seven years, Raul Malo has shed his musical shackles.
I have been fighting my whole life against people who want to pigeonhole music. We fought that in the Mavericks.
I feel like I’ve got no restrictions anymore, the Grammy winner says.  I am not really writing for any specific genre.
I feel like I can do whatever I want.
Malo s mellifluous tenor combines equal parts Sinatra, Jones and Orbison in one beautiful package.
Every tune will give you goosebumps  VINTAGE GUITAR
With his new album, Lucky One, Malo returns to his own songwriting with an adventurous set that swaggers through honky-tonk, zoot suit, and moments of smooth jazz and deep Latin soul, all propelled by Malo s supple, Orbisonian vocals.   AUSTIN CHRONICLE 
Bob Walkenhorst and his Rock N Roll Band will finish out the night

The New Yorker magazine said it best: If you’re missing Fred Eaglesmith, you’re really missing out.
An award-winning and acclaimed music auteur of the highest order, he has forged a singular and distinctive legacy with his songs,
recordings, live performances, achievements and impact unlike that of anyone else in contemporary music. And done so as a
fiercely independent and original artist through the sheer power of the music he creates.

 Friday 4/16 Junior Brown (Roots/ Rock/ Twang)
with special guest the Cowboy Dave band

A lot of people tell me they don't like country music, but they like what I am doing," says Junior Brown.
I hear that line more than anything else, which is ironic because a couple of licks is all it takes to erase any doubts
concerning Junior's stylistic allegiance. His music combines the soul of country and the spirit of rock n' roll.
Cowboy Dave is Dave Wilson, the frontman of FortyTwenty. He's introducing his new group, appropriately called
The Cowboy Dave Band

(What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace, Love And Understanding?), George Jones (Ain’t It Funny What A Fool Will Do), and Lyle Lovett (God Will, If I Had A Boat), delivering versions that need to be heard to be believed.
