Upcoming Shows
 | Friday, May 09, 2008 ($12 advance/$15 door) |  | A Kerrville Festival “discovery”, this group is a spry energetic acoustic band with a taste for folk music, roots and rock. Amy grew up on opera, old country and garage rock and she manages to bring elements of those into her genre bending folk songs. Her voice, while powerfully emotive, is softly seductive and fetchingly spellbinding. Amy’s songs dance around the avenues of personal love and romance, viewed with wit and resilience, reverie and joy. You’re gonna like this one! | | Opening | High energy Canadian jazz-folk duo. | | . | | | Friday, May 16, 2008 | | Closed for the Wildflower Festival | | | Kathy Mattea, Tim Grimm, Butch Hancock, Caroline Aiken, Chris Smither, Beth Wood, Slaid Cleaves, Albert & Gage, Eliza Gilkyson and others. | | . | | | Friday, May 23, 2008 thru Friday, June 06, 2008 | | Closed for the Kerrville Folk Festival | | . | | Friday, June 13, 2008 ($12 advance/$15 door) |  | A “legend” for his influence on modern American folk music and its writers, (Vega, Gorka, Griffith…), Jack chooses to remain untouched by the commercial music industry, homage to his integrity. Jack’s richly textured songs weave tales of people and places, events and epochs. History, mythology and poetry, Celtic, traditional, and western folk music inspirations fill Jack’s 20 critically acclaimed albums with some of the best folk songs ever written. In his dusty voice, deliberate-paced, precisely phrased lyrics reveal the power of the sound of words. |  | We were among the first US venues to feature Reg, one of Britain’s greatest folk-pop artists and he made a lot of fans here! His clear, high and smooth voice reminds us a bit of Lorin Rowan and Iain Matthews: The variety of his styles equal to theirs. Reg’s hummable/singable tunes, with their affable, largely optimistic lyrics, are reminiscent of glorious 70’s faves, Richard Thompson’s bittersweet love songs, and of traditional English balladry. | | . | | Friday, June 20, 2008 ($12 advance/$15 door) | | Former Kerrville New Folk winners! |  | World travel influences Anais’ modern folk songs as does her love for prose. A Kerrville New Folk winner, her current works include the fascinating mythology-based folk-opera Hadestown. Anais’ pixie-ish like voice and descriptive verse engage the listener in an aural and evocative journey of memorable, timeless wonderment. |  | Antje has been declared “the next big folk thing” evidenced by her songwriting wins from the John Lennon contest and the Kerrville and Boston fests, invitations from the Newport, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia fests and national TV/radio performances. Her music is contemporary, literate and engrossing, her voice warm and sensuous. | | . | | Friday, June 27, 2008 ($18) (No Youth Discounts) |  | Join Patty’s celebration for the release of her eloquent new CD Watch The Sky, a self written, produced, engineered and edited masterwork. With an awesome dexterity, Patty commands acoustic and electric guitars, giving them voice thru complex, atmospheric arrangements on pop-folk, blues, rock and jazz. Her lyrics can be intense and heart wrenching or light and uproaringly funny in an artistically sophisticated performance, riveting and lush with romantic ballads, careful, tender songs of confession and longing, and hard edged, declarative anthems. We know this show will quickly sell out. | | Special Guest | Heiress to modern folk-rock territory blazed by Ani, Dar and Lucy, enveloping the listener with a warm confident voice and lyrical intrigue. | | . | | | Friday, July 04, 2008 | | Closed | | . | | | Friday, July 11, 2008 | | Closed for the Woody Guthrie Festival | | | Featuring: Judy Collins, Jimmy LaFave, Sara Hickman, John Gorka, Ellis Paul + 45 more. | | . | | Friday, July 18, 2008 ($15 advance/$18 door) | | Featuring performers from last week's Woody Guthrie Festival |  | Kevin is a top writer/performer of Americana and with 25 albums to his credit, prolific. His songs are recorded by Wynonna, Trisha, Garth, Waylon, LaFave and many more, proof of the lyrical integrity of Kevin’s slice-of-life country roots ‘n’ blues and modern folk songs. Optimism, love, romance and reflection come to life in his facile tenor and groovy guitar licks. |  | Audrey’s honed her fringe alt-country Americana songs from Tasmania to Alice Springs, Nashville to Austin, with inspirations of Celtic, Appalachian and Australian themes. Her rough-hewn voice bristles with expression and honest emotion, garnering dozens of performance and songwriting awards. Fast fingered guitarist Andrew Hardin joins in tonight. | | . | | Friday, July 25, 2008 ($12 advance/$15 door) |  | Call it folk with an attitude, acoustic rock with a traditional foundation. Irish to urban, blues to pop, their music is rich with intricate harmonies, lush melodies and uplifting inspirational lyrics. Siobhan and Michael have garnered songwriting awards from the Kerrville, South Florida, Falcon Ridge and Boston fests. Siobhan’s beautiful agile voice won a Wammie and Michael is a fine singer as well as a remarkable guitarist. | | . |
