Wednesday 9/7
Buddy Holly 75th Birthday Dance Party
with Patrick Recob & the Rumblejetts & Pine Box Revival

Buddy Holly laid down the foundation for all that
followed in the genre of rock. He set down the
fundamental line up for the band. Buddy's innovations
are staggering, especially because his creative genius
really took off within around 18 months before his
untimely death, at 22. The music of today can be
debated, or not. Whenever or wherever his music is
heard, Buddy Holly lives.
Charles Hardin Holley
September 7, 1936 - February 3, 1959 known
professionally as Buddy Holly.

Thursday 9/8
The Legendary Butch Hancock

A world traveling troubadour with a long string of
recorded songs and albums, Butch Hancock has been
called one of the finest songwriters of our time and is
acknowledged by his peers and critics alike as one of
the premiere singer-songwriters Texas has ever
produced. His tunes evoke mystical visions of wind-
swept dry-plains and his lyrics are profoundly
imaginative, often displaying for his listeners the
miracles that occur in the ordinary through creative
irony and metaphors. His lyrical style has often been
compared to that of Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie and his
songs have been covered by the likes of Emmylou Harris.
Hancock is also a member of renowned country rock
super-group, The Flatlanders, along with his lifelong
friends, Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, a band they
formed in 1972.

Thursday 9/8
Eilen Jewell w/ Larkin Poe

It is the battered cassette jammed in the tape deck of
the getaway car, the music Ida Lupino cues up on the
roadhouse jukebox as she counts the till after close.
This is Queen of the Minor Key by Eilen Jewell, a smart
cookie with a heart of burnished gold and enough
stories to keep even the rowdiest crowd hanging on her
every word. Though its long shadows and dark corners
make her kingdom feel intimate, her sovereign domain
stretches as far as the imagination. Its denizens seek
refuge in padded rooms, abandoned automobiles? and
strong spirits. They defend their territory by any
means necessary: weird voodoo, sawed-off shotguns,
broken bottles.
