The Songwriter’s Showdown!
May 3, 2010 | 0 commentsSecond of our series… view our rules on the Showdown page.
The Steel Wheels
May 3, 2010 | 0 commentsFor the first time here, and on Homegrown Wednesday! ” If one must compare The Steel Wheels to another act in order to get an idea of their music, imagine a blend of the passion of The Avett Brothers, the instrumentals of Old Crow Medicine Show, and then sprinkle in the backwoods feel of The Legendary Shack Shakers. In truth, attempting to compare them with anyone is an injustice, since after one listen you can hear that they stand very well on their own perch.” – John Walker Americana Root Tickets are $5 at the door visit their website: http://www.thesteelwheels.com
The Guggenheim Grotto
May 3, 2010 | 0 commentsheady mix of pop, folk and soaring melodies around ever present vocal harmonies : “With debts to both Radiohead and The Beatles, this is modern, intelligent, lyrically potent pop.” – The Boston Herald Over the past three years Mick Lynch and Kevin May of pop/folk act The Guggenheim Grotto have touched U.S. and U.K. audiences in a way the duo couldn’t have imagined. From setting out as Dublin songwriter circuit regulars alongside artists like Damien Rice and Glen Hansard, to building a devoted cult following in the U.S. with warm embraces from media and competitive iTunes charting, the band has captivated audiences and tastemakers on both sides of the pond with its mix of poetic, often literature-inspired lyrics set to timeless, soaring pop melodies.

The Texas Sapphires
May 3, 2010 | 0 commentsCo-lead singers and songwriters Billy Brent Malkus and Rebecca Lucille Cannon fuel the band with their pens and their voices, and both come from brief forays into punk. Guitar player and primary songwriter Malkus grew up with classic country on a hog farm in Maryland and honed his instrumental and wordsmithing skills. He moved to Austin in 1997 and played with various country-based acts including Nathan Hamilton’s No Deal. Houston-born Cannon, after five years as a college radio DJ, wanted to make her own music. She’s doing her best now to keep alive the tradition of good country music, out of respect and love of the beloved grandmother who helped raise her, and is succeeding — with a voice that commands the stage. Tickets are $12 in advance, $17 day of show Visite their Website:...
