Wed 9/20 Bleu Edmondson
with special guest the Rumblejetts
Bleu Edmondson describes his sound as “Country rock with Texas soul”. It’s music that gives a down home feeling to a country rock beat. The band stays true to Bleu’s description with songs about good ol’ boys, the hill country, and the Southland.
While Bleu writes and sings the songs, he’s backed by some of the most talented musicians on the Texas Music Scene. including one of Texas music’s best kept secrets, drummer David Bowen. Bowen is somewhat new to Texas, but he’s certainly making his presence known.

Thurs 9/21 Bernard Allison
Born in Chicago on November 26th, 1965, the youngest of nine children Bernard Allison was first introduced to the roots of black music and the art of the electric guitar by his father, the late great Luther Allison. Bernard made his first appearance on record at age 13, when he played on a live LP his father recorded in Peoria, IL.
"I didn't start to play 'til I was maybe 10 years of age" Bernard recalled "I picked up the guitar, listened to records. I was in grade school and I played with the high school jazz band. They thought I was reading the sheet music, but actually I was making up everything I could play."

Friday 9/22 DOUBLE SHOW with HARPER and HAMILTON LOOMIS
Raised in the beautiful coastal city of Perth, Western Australia, Harper is known for his soulful vocals, unique harmonica performances and his innovative song writing style. He also includes the intensely spiritual didgeridoo (“Yidaki”, an Australian indigenous instrument) . Harper grew up listening to folk, soul and blues music and surfing Western Australia's incredible coast line. Harper has been taking his music to the world performing in Australia, the USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore and France. Harper has received multiple Australian Blues awards for "Male Vocalist of the Year", and "Song of the Year" and "Acoustic Artist of the Year".

"Innovate, don't imitate." Hamilton Loomis took his mentor, Bo Diddley's advice. It speaks volumes when the likes of Diddley, Johnny "Clyde" Copeland, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, and Albert Collins take you under their wings. The twenty-something Texas sensation isn't just another cat-in-a-hat with a Strat. He has crafted his blues roots into a funk-a-fied recipe all his own.
A multi-instrumentalist, Hamilton practically grew up in the spotlight. He began on drums and piano at age five, guitar at age six, then conquered the harmonica. Gigging non-stop since age fourteen, he formed a family doo-wop group with his musician parents. By seventeen, he had played the world-famous Delta Blues Festival for an audience of 40,000.

Sat 9/23 Webb Wilder and Junior Brown
with Special guest The Slivermen
Webb Wilder, "The Last Of The Full Grown Men," is large enough for the big screen, hip enough to star in cult classic B movies, and tough enough to maintain a devoted worldwide fan base through a relentless never ending tour schedule. Of late, Webb has collaborated with Landslide Records, to re-release an expanded version of his legendary It Came From Nashville album, as well as producing an album of all-new material entitled About Time.Wilder appears in several short films which have seen limited distribution, chiefly at film festivals. He has also made a few notable music video appearances. These include Martina McBride's video for "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues" in early 2003, and Alan Jackson's "That'd Be Alright" video in 2002. Wilder also worked as a DJ for XM Satellite Radio from 2002 until 2005.
His 1986 album It Came From Nashville was re-released in late 2004, and his first album of new material since 1996, About Time, was released in March 2005. A live DVD was released in November 2005 and a live CD in 2006.

Junior Brown (born 1953) is an American country guitarist and singer from Kirksville, Indiana. He first learned to play piano from his father "before I could talk". His music career began in the 1960s, and he worked through that decade and the next developing his astonishing guitar skills. By the mid-80s he was teaching guitar at the Hank Thompson School of Country Music at Rogers State University, in Claremore, Oklahoma.
In 1985 he invented a double-necked guitar with Michael Stevens (see 1985 in music). He called it a "guit-steel". He actually plays this guitar standing behind it while it rests in a small podium / music stand. The top neck is a traditional 6 string "Fender Telecaster" style neck while the lower neck is basically a full on steel guitar for slide playing. There is a pocket in the body of the guitar to take the slide while not is use. Brown quickly became a local success in Austin, Texas as the house band at the Continental Club. His debut album was 1993's 12 Shades of Brown; it was followed by Guit with It later that year (1993 in music). Both albums cemented his reputation as one of the more critically acclaimed country singers of the 1990s.
