Door 7 PM Show 8 PM Close 10 PM Tickets $ 18 (add to calendar)	"...Stirs into the roots-tinged folk brew an improbable combination of pop hooks and bluesy grit." - Knoxville.com Max Gomez
The most northern of the New Mexico pueblos, the hamlet of Taos, sits approximately 7,000 feet above sea level. It is an hour and half drive north of Santa Fe, or rather, just remote enough to stave off the casually curious person. It is within this bouillabaisse of nature, art and spirituality that we encounter Max Gomez. A young singer-songwriter in the seasoned vein of Jackson Browne and John Prine, Gomez grew up splitting his time between the sloping mountains of Taos and, for a period, the rolling plains of Kansas. On his family’s ranch in Kansas, Gomez still lends a hand with chores but relishes the time he can spend out on the lake practicing the art of fly-fishing. But it is in Taos, where he was ultimately inspired to explore his art and the ethos behind it. In the span of its ten songs, the Jeff Trott (Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow) produced Rule The World traverses varying themes of heartbreak, regret, young love, desperation and, ultimately redemption. While many young artists write songs with the mere intention of entertaining the masses, Max’s songs are filled with the raw emotion and capture the spirit of those who came before him. In an age of ever increasing false fronts and posturing, it’s rare to catch a glimpse of a soul bared. But that is exactly what Gomez has done.

When The Stray Birds take the stage, the spotlight falls on three voices raised in harmony above the raw resonance of wood and strings. It is a sound drawn from the richness of American folk music traditions, spun with a stirring subtlety and grace. From bustling street corners to silent halls, their performances speak to an uncompromising reverence for songs. Raised within a few miles of farmland from each other in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, their flight began with friendship. With miles of music already behind them, Maya de Vitry and Oliver Craven first shared a song in January 2010. A snowy Pennsylvania winter welcomed collaboration between the two creative flames— and inspired the collection of seven songs found on the Borderland EP. Grounded in the unshakeable groove of bassist Charles Muench, the trio landed their signature sound. An ambitious touring schedule reflects their embrace of the experience of live music. “Music exists in a time and place, not just in a digital format,” says Charles. Reveling in the energy of each room, a connection to the audience is the essence of their show. Can't join us in person? Watch the live online broadcast!

A Bugle Boy featured artist in Texas Music Magazine see the ad Sara Hickman likes to write about things that pop into her head, like bowls full of stars and kerosene and faithful hearts and cantaloupe and birdhouses. She likes to sing, too. She will whip out her guitar at parties and around campfires to get everyone singing along. She likes lots of voices singing. As she says,"I t only takes one voice to start a choir." She feels sad when she sees homeless people, and stops to see what can be done. She likes to go in hospitals and sing for kids and cancer patients, and she wishes she could breakdance really well to raise funds for the children of Uganda, but since she isn't much of a dancer, she joined a blogathon instead and wrote for 24 hours straight to raise money/awareness. She rode in an elevator with Pete Townshend, sang a duet with George Burns, wrote flamenco guitar music for a play that starred Melissa Gilbert, and charmed Johnny Carson twice on his late night show. She has recorded 15 albums to date, some for big people, some for small. Her latest, Shine, will be released in the summer of 2013. She doodles, and will leave a chalk mark on your sidewalk if you're not home. She thinks Austin is weirdly wonderful and encourages it to stay that way.Can't join us in person?

Door 7 PM Show 8 PM Close 10 PM Tickets $ 28 WATCH LIVE STREAM (add to calendar)	The Trishas
When Jamie Wilson, Liz Foster, Kelley Mickwee and Savannah Welch first shared a stage in January 2009, their intention was simply to perform a couple of songs as part of a tribute to Savannah’s father, singer-songwriter Kevin Welch. But when magic happens, sometimes you have to give in to its power. The sound of their voices soaring in close four-part harmony so transfixed listeners that night in Steamboat, Colorado, that show offers began to come in, luring them into testing the waters as a group. High, Wide and Handsome makes a definitive statement. “We’re in this for the long haul,” it almost shouts. “On our terms.” Those terms include collaborating with some of the finest tunesmiths in Nashville and Austin — Bruce Robison, Jason Eady, Owen Temple and Turnpike Troubadour Evan Felker are among other co-writers. Respect from such major-leaguers isn’t surprising, considering the bandmates’ backgrounds. Memphis-reared Mickwee, the group’s main mandolinist, honed her talents in that music-rich town before becoming half of the duo Jed & Kelley; Wilson was a member of renowned Austin band The Gougers; and Foster, who can wail on harmonica, performed on the Texas Opry circuit and spent seven years touring with a Motown revue before forming the duo Liz & Lincoln. Nashville-raised Welch moved to Austin after high school to pursue acting and screenwriting, and other than a short stint in L.A., has been a Texan for 10 years. “It just works when our voices blend together,” she explains. “Whenever there’s that chemistry onstage, and chemistry otherwise, that’s what makes it.” Their comfort level with one another is obvious; they laugh frequently and easily together, and even on tiny stages, they smoothly switch among a variety of stringed and percussion instruments, including drums. They switch vocal parts — and genres — with equal ease. Wilson characterizes their soulful sound as “eclectic” and says of the new album, “It goes between pretty country- and jug-bandy-sounding to spooky and creepy to kinda rockin’, within 14 songs.” Can't join us in person?

Shinyribs Russell is known as the front man of the Austin, TX musical combo, The Gourds. Born in Beaumont TX, and raised in The Church Of Christ he found his calling in biker bars of Louisiana at the tender age of seventeen playing a hybrid of loud country blues rock and psychedelic swamp jangle for the grumpy ingrates congregated there. The Gourds formed in 1994 and have become a favorite of the Americana/Hippie Jam/Genre Bending scenes of the last 15+ years. The Gourds’ laid-back brilliance has earned them a huge following in Austin and beyond, and a feature-length documentary about the band is in the works. Amidst this low-key success, Russell has stepped out on his own for three solo albums, two under the banner of Shinyribs. When asked about his unusual moniker, Russell claims that a lady yelled that at him when he was handing out barbeque on a street corner. Within his universe, there are often more questions than answers, but that’s par for the course. Gulf Coast Museum is a tour through this unique universe, featuring folk ballads, soul struts, and an aching cover of “If You Don’t Know Me By Now.” “Song of Lime Juice And Despair,” which Russell debuted recently in KUTX’s Studio 1A, is as free-wheeling as the title suggests. In the song, country dances arm-in-arm with disco for a combination Russell has slyly termed as “crisco,” but it could go by other names as well. “It’s this interesting piece of western music but with a surreal lyric over the top of it,” says Russell. “So that’s why some people call it ‘Salvador Dali-Parton.’” Whatever you want to call it, it’s perfectly Gulf Coast–and it’s perfectly Shinyribs.Can't join us in person?

The Therapy Sisters came together in 1987 as a musical self-help effort that has since turned into an addiction. They’ve played in the U. S. coast to coast in clubs and coffeehouses. The farthest gig from home was probably a peace festival in East Germany the year the wall came down. Vying for strangest gig are the performance at the El Paso bowling alley cafeteria and the cruise ship shows for the Journal of Nursing Jocularity. It’s all been wacky and wonderful, and after 9 recordings and 400,000 miles on 2 vans, they have settled into performing steadily in central Texas, with occasional forays to New England or south of the border. They’ve played garage sales, menopause parties, funerals and weddings, and the occasional parade. "Playing makes us feel good and we hear that feeling is contagious!"Can't join us in person?

Those who have followed Ruthie Foster’s eclectic musical history know that she can burn down any stage with her combustible blend of soul, blues, rock, folk and gospel. Ruthie’s astonishing voice has taken her on an amazing ride. She came from humble church choir beginnings in rural Texas, followed by a tour of duty with the U.S. Navy Band, and ended up in New York City with a major-label development deal that went sour. Ruthie's list of achievements includes Best Folk Artist in 2004-05 and Best Female Vocalist in 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2013 from the Austin Music Awards, a 2009 and 2012 Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album, and three Blues Music Association awards for both Best Traditional and Best Contemporary Female Blues Artist. When Grammy Award-winning producer John Chelew suggested she record an album in New Orleans — with support handpicked from the Crescent City’s overflowing pool of talent — it was an opportunity for Ruthie to infuse fresh spices into her already rich sonic gumbo. The result is Let It Burn, a recording that smolders, sizzles and ignites with an intensity born from her vibrant voice and indelible presence. Let it Burn guest features Blind Boys of Alabama, William Bell, The Funky Meters, Dave Easley, James Rivers, and Ike Stubblefield. The record, which was released January 31, 2012, has debuted on three Billboard charts: #2 on the Blues chart, #6 on Heatseekers, and #175 on the Top 200 Albums, and was also nominated for a Grammy award.

They are wry and silly and literate and proud to transcend any kind of mainstream musical labeling." - Austin-American Statesman Greezy Wheels
Greezy Wheels, the “Grateful Dead of Texas” and members of the Texas Music Hall Of Fame, have been blowing things up in Austin since the days of the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters, and they are still blowing it up good in 2013. Greezy Wheels, always at the center of musical adventure, have found yet another amazing nexus for exploration. The Wheels were one of the first Austin acts ever signed to a major label (London), and they continue to release CD’s on their own label, MaHatMa Records. Their release in 2011, ‘Gone Greezy,’ had the highest debut of the week in Americana radio and remained on the Americana charts all summer. Margaret Moser, the immensely influential music writer of the Austin Chronicle, placed ‘Gone Greezy’ in her Top Ten Best Albums of the Year in 2011, as did many folks across the country. The band’s next record, ‘Kitty Cat Jesus,’ is scheduled for a June, 2013 release. As the unofficial Armadillo World Headquarters House Band in the 70’s, Greezy Wheels opened or headlined first Austin gigs for the Flying Burrito Brothers, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Asleep At The Wheel co-headlined), Willis Alan Ramsey (headlined), Alvin Crow (headlined); and dozens of others. A legend in her own right, Sweet Mary participated in some of the wildest jam sessions in the history of the Armadillo, with such as Jean Luc Ponty, Frank Zappa, Jerry Garcia, Leon Russell, Doug Sahm and dozens of others.

Door 7 PM Show 8 PM Close 10 PM Tickets $ 35 (add to calendar)	From the legendary group The Flatlanders Butch Hancock & Jimmie Dale Gilmore
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. Jimmie Dale Gilmore is a native of the Texas Panhandle, having been born in Amarillo, Texas and raised in Lubbock, Texas. His earliest musical influence was Hank Williams and the honky tonk brand of country music that his father played. In the 1950s, he was exposed to the emerging rock and roll of other Texans such as Roy Orbison and Lubbock native Buddy Holly, as well as to Johnny Cash. He was profoundly influenced in the 1960s by the likes of The Beatles and Bob Dylan and the folk music and blues revival in that decade. With Joe Ely and Butch Hancock, Gilmore founded The Flatlanders. The group has been performing on and off since 1972. The band's first recording project, from the early 1970s, was barely distributed. It has since been acknowledged, through Rounder's 1991 reissue (More a Legend Than a Band), as a milestone of progressive, alternative country. The three friends continued to reunite for occasional Flatlanders performances, and in May 2002 released a long-awaited follow-up album, Now Again, on New West records.
