SUMMARY:Ray Wylie Hubbard
DESCRIPTION:Pre-sale tickets available! All tickets on sale Friday\, Feb 21st at noon! \nWhen F. Scott Fitzgerald issued his classic conclusion that ‘There are no second acts in American lives\,’ he failed to envision the career of legendary Texas troubadour Ray Wylie Hubbard. A willing conspirator in the late seventies Cosmic Cowboy revolt that ushered in the mythical Outlaw era\, Hubbard was a catalyst in the cultural upheaval that led to the peaceful coexistence of Lone Star music enthusiasts who comprised each end of the social and political spectrum of that troubled time. In the stellar company of iconic colleagues like Willie Nelson\, Waylon Jennings\, Doug Sahm and Jerry Jeff Walker\, Ray Wylie Hubbard was an architect of the musical legacy that continues to inspire subsequent generations of up-and-coming Texas talent. \nYes\, Hubbard is a Texas singer-songwriter\, complete with the classic trifurcated handle\, fundamental chapter of the canon in his song catalog (“Redneck Mother”)\, and enough wild hairs in his past to qualify him as a legend. But along the way\, his attention began to leave matters extraneous to his art and soul by the wayside and focus on the beauty and potential to be found in the blank canvas of\, in his case\, the yet to be written and recorded song. The result has been one of the most satisfying musical and lyrical journeys to witness over the last two decades. In the years that followed he evolved into a writer of uncommonly honest portraits of life\, alternately mixing deep personal sagas with poignant character studies of those traveling on the dark side of the road. \nIf one wanted to describe the sound of Ray Wylie Hubbard\, one could call it American music\, born from the time-honored traditions of folk\, country\, and roots rock.

SUMMARY:Chris Cagle
DESCRIPTION:Born in De Ridder\, LA and raised in Houston\, TX\, Chris Cagle is an American Country Music Artist.  He moved to Nashville in 1994.\n\nWhile in Nashville\, the struggling Artist held down several jobs: nanny\, waiter\, prep chef and golf caddy\, among many others.  During that time\, he signed a publishing deal with Caliber Music.  He had his first song\, “I Breathe In\, I Breathe Out”\, cut by David Kersh within 8 months of signing his deal\, but he wanted more.  He wanted to be an Artist.\n\nThat dream came true in 2000 when he signed to Virgin Records.  Cagle co-wrote and co-produced his debut Gold record\, Play It Loud\, which produced a top 10 single\, “My Love Goes On & On”\, a top 5 single “Laredo” and the #1 single\, “I Breathe In\, I Breathe Out”.\n\nHis self-titled sophomore project debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and is certified Gold\, as well as yielding two Top 5 singles: “What A Beautiful Day” and “Chicks Dig It”.\n\nCagle penned additional albums that brought more success with hits like “Miss Me Baby”\, What Kinda Gone”\, “Got My Country On”\, “Let There Be Cowgirls” and “Country By The Grace Of God”.\n\nNominated for New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music and Voted CMT’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2002\, it is the stage where Cagle has always shined the brightest.  His passion for the performance of music is a rare find\, and this Artist isn’t afraid of giving everything he has to his fans.

SUMMARY:The Wallflowers
DESCRIPTION:Rock ‘n’ roll is often hard to define\, or even to find\, in these fractured musical times. But to paraphrase an old saying\, you know it when you hear it. \nAnd you always hear it with the Wallflowers. For the past 30 years\, the Jakob Dylan-led act has stood as one of rock’s most dynamic and purposeful bands – a unit dedicated to and continually honing a sound that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting and decidedly modern musical attack. That signature style has been present through the decades\, baked into the grooves of smash hits like 1996’s Bringing Down the Horse as well as more recent and exploratory fare like 2012’s Glad All Over. \nGood band name aside\, that life’s work continues with Exit Wounds\, the brand-new Wallflowers studio offering. The collection marks the first new Wallflowers material since Glad All Over. And while the wait has been long\, the much-anticipated record finds the band’s signature sound – lean\, potent and eminently entrancing – intact\, even as Dylan surrounds himself with a fresh cast of musicians. \nWhich\, the front man is quick to point out\, is not all that unusual. “The Wallflowers has always been a vehicle for me to make great rock ‘n’ roll records\,” he says. “And sometimes the lineup that makes the record transfers over into touring\, and sometimes it doesn’t. But my intention is always to make the Wallflowers record I want to make\, using the musicians I have beside me.”
