Corry Morrow, Roger Creager, MerleJam, Band of Heathens, Mike McClure, and MORE @ Knuckleheads 4/27 - 5/3/2009
Thurs 4/30
Corry Morrow (Country)
and Roger Creager
Fifteen years, and thousands of live shows later, Morrow has emerged as one of the
best-loved artists . Revered along with college pal Pat Green as a preservationist of the unique Texas music sound, which combines elements of country, bluegrass, swing and blues, Morrow inspires a fierce loyalty in his fans.
As an independent artist, he moved 200,000 discs through his own WriteOn label. His latest offering,Vagrants And Kings, finds Morrow at his strongest- artistically, personally and spiritually. Morrow's rustic sound remains part singer/songwriter: poetic and acoustic at times. But it's equal parts country rock: accessible, hooky and rowdy in the tradition of outlaws like the Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.
Roger Creager
For more than a decade, Roger Creager built a reputation on his distinctive brand of hard-core, rabble-rousing Texas Country music, on his rich, full-bodied voice that can carry a tune for miles, and on his exceptional ability to work thousands of Texans into a rabid frenzy with his voice and guitar, in the great concert tradition of Jerry Jeff Walker and Robert Earl Keen

THE BAND OF HEATHENS & MIKE McCLURE
The formation of The Band of Heathens is as natural and organic as the music they create In early spring 2006, the three principle songwriters, Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist were sharing the bill every Wednesday night at the venerable Austin club Momo's. Originally it started as each songwriter performing his own set. But in a short time they started sharing the stage equally and collaborating on each other's songs, with bassist Seth Whitney as the anchor of the rhythm section. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club. Largely improvised and unrehearsed, the shows quickly gained in popularity and word spread throughout Austin that if you wanted live music on Wednesday night, Momo's was the place to be
The singer-songwriter left the Great Divide to follow his own path. It would have been easy for Mike McClure to remain with the Great Divide. The successful country band, which formed in 1992, was a rock-solid act, with a strong fan base. But the Oklahoma-based singer-songwriter was compelled to leave the group in 2003. "I had to do it for me as a musician and a person," McClure said while calling from Laguna Beach, Calif. "I did it even though it meant that I went from playing for 2,000 people to 30 people back when I started doing the solo thing. I had to go because of artistic differences. I had to do things my way."
