Back at the Ranch
|
There’s a new group "hubbin' it" in the swing realm, Back At The Ranch. An amazing group sure to demand your attention, BATR delivers a swinging blend of music with Clover Carroll on guitar and resophonic guitar, Rachel Carroll on upright bass and Matthew Menke playing fiddle. The effortless ease with which the combo performs their classic selections will, as Red Steagall says, "knock your hat in the creek!" Their upbeat stage presence and hilarious antics blend seamlessly together with pure harmonies and professional musicianship for a top-notch performance. The music of Back At The Ranch is a polished repertoire of Western Swing and Cowboy tunes.
***Saturday May 1 Performances:
2:00pm and 5:00pm ***

She has experience in front of live audiences, performing in venues and festivals throughout Texas and Louisiana. She has performed in Nashville and scheduled to return this fall.. She now performs with her father Brett Norris on guitar.

No Foolin'
|
The No Foolin’ String Band plays live, raucous old-time string band music on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, banjo ukulele, and penny whistle. Their repertoire includes many of the old traditional fiddle and banjo tunes played at dances, supper parties, and on front porches in the early days of Texas. In fact, Sam Houston himself would have listened and danced to some of these very tunes. The band members joke that they won’t even consider a tune unless it’s more than hundred years old (though sometimes they will play some of the “modern” tunes that would have been played on the radio in the 1920s and 30s).
Like the bands of those early days, No Foolin’ is made up of regular folk who get together and play simply for the love of the old music.
