Uncle Lucius with Down & Out
2017-09-02 19:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, 77803, United States
Uncle Lucius
AUSTIN, Texas — Most bands celebrate a long-awaited record deal. Uncle Lucius saved the champagne for when they got out of theirs.
“We had a party in the motel parking lot,” drummer Josh Greco remembers with a smile. Over some warm Lone Star, the road-weary band bid farewell to Nashville machinations, though the way ahead was entirely uncharted. Only the perils of independence were apparent.
“We really didn’t have a back-up plan. Or any plan at all, for that matter,” admits Jonny “Keys”
Grossman.
Fortunately, this band has plenty of practice straying from the simpler path. For a decade, Uncle
Lucius had built its fan base the hard way, through relentless touring and restless searching. With no other option, they called on their die-hards for help. Hundreds of believers pledged tens of thousands of hard-earned dollars. Both humbled and exhilarated, the band hit the studio, eager to justify their fans’ love with the labor of their hearts and souls.
The resulting LP, The Light, is the statement their fans have waited for, with its songs of seeking and questioning, of reaching out to others, of excavating the hidden strength within. After years spent spreading their message across Texas, here at last is the vehicle that can take them to the national level.
Check out Uncle Lucius here!

Down & Out
Down and Out is a Southern Folkadelic Blues Rock band from Buffalo, TX sponsored by TX Whiskey that has been touring for the last 3.5 years all across the lone star state.
Putting tons of miles on the road in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, their mix of rootsy blues rock and overdriven country is what makes them stand out from most others on the Texas Music Scene. The band is currently recording its first album and will be releasing it to all the major music markets, such as iTunes, Spotify, etc this fall.
Be sure to follow them on all social media at @DownAndOutTx and go catch a show!!

Alex Riddle with Cottonwood Crows
2017-09-07 19:30 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, 77803, United States
Alex Riddle
“I want the listener to feel that something dramatic is happening, that something is at stake,” says singer and guitarist Alex Riddle of his approach to songwriting. “I’m not interested in easy listening.” Aiming for immediacy and emotional depth, Riddle draws from influences like Jeff Buckley, Wilco, and Radiohead for a dynamic take on indie rock. Part of the burgeoning indie scene in Houston, Texas, he has shared the stage with acts such as Big Thief, The All American Rejects, Seratones, and Quiet Company. His latest release, Live from 226 Recordings, captures the raw live sound of Riddle with his band, showcasing Riddle’s musical range—from pensive balladry to muscular rock’n’roll. Hear what Houston Press called “versatile, eclectic, and polished,” and look out for a new single slated for release in October.
Check out Alex Riddle here!

Cottonwood Crows
Cottonwood Crows is a Texas Country band made up of 5 talented musicians established in 2015 in Stephenville, Texas. They have had the privilege of being played on radio statins across Texas, such as Shooter FM and Texas Homegrown Radio. Some recognizable names that they have opened for include Chris Knight and Flatland Calvary and they have also headlined City Limits in Stephenville and the Blue Light in Lubbock, to name a few. Cottonwood Crows spent August 2017 in the studio at Melody Mountain Ranch with producers Josh Serrato and Ben Hussey recording their second album.

Keeton Coffman with The Docs & The Lonely Wheel
2017-09-08 20:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, 77803, United States
Keeton Coffman
“From the moment Keeton Coffman took the stage, it was painfully obvious that this guy belongs in front of a crowd at all times” (Houston Press). Heartland Rock and Roll perhaps best describes Coffman’s wide-ranging style on his first full-length album, Killer Eyes. From the heel-stomping corner pub song “What We’re Reaching For” and the dancehall flavor of “Ellie” and “Killer Eyes” to the Gospel-infused “The Mountain”, Keeton’s style of music evokes the small town Texas sound he grew up with, matched with the knuckle and grit of his true Rock and Roll soul.
Check out Keeton Coffman here: “What We’re Reaching For”

The Docs
The Docs are a group of friends with the collective goal of creating a self identifiable rock sound. Since its inception, the Docs have emerged out of College Station blending sounds and styles in an effort to re-envision rock and roll.
The Docs have accrued accolades over the years, sharing stages with Bob Schneider, Black Pistol Fire, Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights, Whiskey Myers, the Weeks, Leopold and His Fiction, Sol Cat and countless other nationally-acclaimed acts while also rocking huge festivals such as the Pecan Street Festival, Rock The Republic, Firefest, Chilifest, and SXSW.
In short, The Docs are continuing to perfect their craft, creating a sound recognizable in its own right.
Check out The Docs here: “Egyptian Disco”

The Lonely Wheel
The Lonely Wheel was formed around the music, which has always been its priority. With influences ranging from Elvis Presley and Bill Withers, to The Oh Hellos, to Lupe Fiasco, The Lonely Wheel brings an eclectic blend of Folk, Blues, Soul, and more.

Honest Men with Thomas Csorba and Corusco
2017-09-09 20:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, 77803, United States
Honest Men
Honest Men is an indie pop rock band from Waco, TX. Their first show, in the spring of 2015, was Baylor University’s Battle of the Bands, where they ended up winning by student and judge votes. Since that point, they have quickly gained popularity across the campus and the city.
The rest of 2015 into 2016 was spent playing shows, expanding their fanbase, and finding their sound. In the summer of 2016, Honest Men journeyed to Nashville, TN to record their debut record, OKAY DREAMER.
As lead singer Seth Findley puts it, “These songs mean a lot to us. They mean a lot to me. What started as a concept album to tell a story that wasn’t my own very quickly became a collection of some of the most personal songs I’ve written. I’ve found myself returning to the lyrics time and time again, comforted – even shocked – by the way they speak so perfectly into the seasons I go through and am going through. Am I okay? I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m okay.”
Since the release of OKAY DREAMER in early 2017, Honest Men‘s fanbase has spread throughout Texas. With a growing online presence and a killer live show, Honest Men continues to write music and play as many shows as possible. They have opened for artists such as Colony House, Kings Kaleidoscope, Ellie Holcomb, Elephante, and more, as well as headlining multiple shows across Texas.

Ryan Tharp has been a lead guitarist, producer, and songwriter for
over 10 years and in that time has played with and produced records for the likes of Pete Yorn, Ian Moore, and Bob Schneider. His record Life So Far was released in January 2017.

-Steve Watkins, Dallas Observer
“The Fort worth singer-songwriter-guitarist…masterfully traverses the nuances of big guitar rock…he plays every kind of stringed instrument you can name with authority and sings with a weary, back of the throat earnestness.”
-Jimmy Fowler, Fort worth Weekly
Check out Ryan Tharp here!

Jacob Furr
Jacob Furr has been a songwriter and multi instrumentalist as long as he can remember and has opened for acts like Over The Rhine, David Ramirez, and Shovels and Rope. He and Ryan co-produced his latest record, Sierra Madre which was released in September 2016.
“It (Sierra Madre) is a wide open, spacious alt country/folk album that evokes fully realized outfits like Hiss Golden Messenger, Magnolia Electric Company, and Calexico…Sierra Madre is a complex, serious album that will be deeply enjoyed by fans of thoughtful intense alt-country/folk.”
-Stephen Carradini, Independent Clauses
“From the opening guitar riff on the albums title track, it is obvious Furr has adopted a take-no-prisoners kind of approach…as his backing band lays down a convincing Crazyhorse-esque wall of arena twang.”
-Jasun Lee, Fort Worth Weekly
“Furr’s songwriting creates whole times and places around pivotal moments in the lives of his characters, people lost amidst huge forces around them, happenings concerning fate and prophecy and the great weight of history pressing down”
-Jon Doyle, Wake The Deaf

LEAVENWORTH: Noun. (lev′ən·wûrth) 1. A city in NE Kansas 2. A federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. 3. A four-piece folk-rock band in Bryan/College Station whose songs have been banned from local radio. Evidently.
That moment after your third sip of morning coffee and you’ve convinced yourself that the day is going to be all right after all. It might even be a great day. That’s Leavenworth, man. When a child falls and waits for your reaction to know whether to cry or keep it together. You’re stolid and the child keeps it together. That’s Leavenworth, man. Gum on the bottom of your shoe, strings of it in three rooms of the house. That’s not Leavenworth. Your boss wanting to talk with you when you’re trying to eat your breakfast at your desk. Also not Leavenworth. Finding a favorite book that’s been missing for years. It was in a box in the garage under some t-shirts for some reason. That’s Leavenworth, man. You’ve got an acoustic guitar by your bed, you’ve got time and three beers left in the fridge. Hey, look, there’s another one back there behind the salsa. Four beers! That’s Leavenworth, man.

John Marc:
https://www.facebook.com/JohnMarcOfficial/
John Marc Kohl is a singer songwriter based out of Bryan, TX. Music is a marriage of emotion and truth. John Marc aims to write songs that are an honest expression of both. It’s easier for an artist to hide behind vagueness; protecting themselves from the introspection of others. Vulnerability is rare. But John Marc seeks to sacrifice comfortability in exchange for making a real, authentic connection. His hope is that listeners will catch on to the heart behind his music, and seek to find the same truth that makes him sing.

Singer songwriter Jonathan Richter after playing by himself locally for a time decided that being alone was no fun and recruited the best players he could find to help fill out the sound he had in mind for his songs. What became of that recruitment is The Fox in the Ground.
Beige Watch
Local three piece band Beige Watch is the lovechild of Jack White and King Gizzard. Between fuzzy guitars and driving bass you’ll find yourself dancing and wanting to be at the beach.

Roxy Roca
No one leaves a Roxy Roca show dissatisfied. A sonic shot to the arm of Texas infused, powerhouse-southern soul and funk complete with a certain tightness only achievable after playing an average of more than 220 shows a year. Roxy Roca shows are like stepping into a tent-revival somewhere in the Deep South, and crooner Taye Cannon is here to speak the gospel. Each tune flows over with hooky guitar riffs, funky backbeats, slammin’ horn lines, and lyrics of love, heartache, and a message of choosing happiness above all else sung with a conviction and sincerity as only Roxy Roca’s green-eyed Soul-Cannon can deliver.
