Deep Blue Something
Texas based dream pop band Deep Blue Something, best known for their 1995 worldwide smash hit single Breakfast at Tiffany’s, have just announced their first UK tour dates in twenty years. Even though it’s been 20 years since Breakfast at Tiffany’s topped the charts a whole new generation of fans has embraced the band due to their inclusion in popular films and TV series with songs garnering nearly 100 million streams on Spotify alone.Since their initial success in the 90s, Deep Blue Something took a long hiatus reconvening in 2016 to record the Locust House EP. The 5 song EP has been expanded into a full-length album, and the excitement after a few shows has grown into a genuine desire to hit the road again. Co-vocalist Toby Pipes says “I’m very excited. The plan is to play a few of the newer tracks, but mainly stick to the older material that everyone will probably want to hear this first time back.” Todd Pipes adds, “I cannot wait to tour with this band. After all these years, it’s an uplifting experience working with these guys again.”
Local Support from Antique Gardens, read more about them here:
Antique Gardens is an indie band based in Bryan and Houston, TX. With an array of influences spanning form bands birthed in the late 90’s such as Pedro the Lion and Mineral to more modern influences like Sorority Noise and Manchester Orchestra.

Antique Gardens is a newer band but is composed of members with extensive touring history and professional backgrounds resulting in a well oiled machine that has come out of the gate swinging with a full release due in November accompanied by a south east US tour.

Charley Crockett w/ Garrett T. Capps
2019-10-23 20:00
Grand Stafford Theater presents Charley Crockett
October 23rd at 8pm
Tickets $12 in advance or $15 at door
Read more about Charley below:
Charley Crockett’s been running nearly his entire life, but with the title track to his sixth album, the Texas songwriter looks back at where he came from. “The Valley” chronicles his hard upbringing on the south Texas border in San Benito and his single mom’s move to Dallas, but it also distills the essence of Crockett’s fierce and restless independence.
Recorded just a week before the songwriter went under the knife for life-saving open-heart surgery in January, the album stirs with an introspection and urgency to tell his story. It’s a story of an artist searching for his place in the world, absorbing the sounds of the country as he attempts to make sense of the struggles of America and life on the road. It’s a story of exile and promise, as Crockett now runs those same highways playing for thousands of fans.
With a pawn shop guitar that his mom bought for him when he was 17, Crockett taught himself to play. Summers in New Orleans with his uncle sparked his ear, while the Dallas blues and Valley’s Tex-Mex slipped into his bloodstream.
He lit out after high school and spent a decade living rough on the road. He worked the communes and farms in Northern California. He busked the streets of New Orleans and Memphis. He ran the subways of New York City, sleeping in abandoned warehouses and constantly in trouble with the law.
Those years were a blur of highways and train cars and cities for Crockett, but they taught him how to keep moving to survive and showed him a desperate side of the country living just below the surface. And all of it fused into his music.
When he returned to Dallas in 2014 with a self-recorded album in his hand, he found a thriving music scene emerging in Deep Ellum behind artists like Leon Bridges and the Texas Gentlemen. He hustled his LP to anyone that would listen, and people took notice.
One artist whose head was turned was blues drummer Jay Moeller, who convinced Crockett to move to Austin and introduced him to iconoclastic roots producer Billy Horton. With Horton, Crockett found a partner who understood his unique and versatile style.
“I think I found my sound with working with Billy Horton,” Crockett attests of his co-producer. “I really want to show people how soul music, classic country, and blues are all right there together. I’m thinking about the respect of the tradition, and I want to be proud of it. I made this record for that express purpose of choosing to stay in my roots and keep them up front and not let them get tossed out.”
Across six albums in the past five years, the Texan has defined his own distinct roots style. Even on his platters of deep-cut blues and country covers like Lil’ G.L.’s Honky Tonk Jubilee (2017) and Lil G.L.’s Blue Bonanza (2018), Crockett pushes a suave and soulful classic Americana that melds genres and is as restless as the artist himself.
His delivery hinges with New Orleans clip, and voice slides with slight lisp that melts around his phrasing like oil skirting the surface of a pond. His ear tunes an amalgam of East Texas blues, border Tex-Mex, classic honky tonk, and Louisiana soul, swerving effortlessly between weeping George Jones-worthy country ballads and hot smoked Lazy Lester-swaddled blues. And Crockett’s own songwriting, showcased on 2016’s In the Night and 2018 breakout Lonesome as a Shadow, cuts with an equally timeless quality.
No surprise then that Crockett has found a home base in Austin, with a deep history and appreciation for stylistic dexterity and transformational takes on traditional sounds. Like Doug Sahm’s cosmic roots blender or Gary Clark Jr’s blues shredder, or even Willie Nelson’s signature jazz country phrasing, Crockett effortlessly spins his influences into his own unique mix, let loose live with shimmying stage charisma worthy of Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis.
Another artist who took notice of the sharp new songwriter was Turnpike Troubadours frontman Evan Felker, who instantly became a champion of his music after meeting outside a show at the historic Gruene Hall. Crockett became a frequent tourmate with the band, and penned The Valley’s opening track, “Borrowed Time,” with Felker while traveling from L.A. to Colorado.
“Writing with Evan was the easiest thing,” offers Crockett. “I’ve learned everything from Evan, and I feel very blessed to know him the way I do, because he’s just special. I became a headliner through opening for them. They showed me how to do it and still stay the kind of independent cat I am.”
That independence remains essential to Crockett. Although courted by major labels and big name producers, Crockett is determined to continue forging his own path. Along the way, he’s begun to garner critical praise from national outlets like Rolling Stone, Billboard, and NPR, and made his mark at major festivals ranging from Stagecoach and Pickathon to ACL and Newport Folk. This winter, Blue Bonanza hit #10 on Billboard Blues Chart and the Americana radio album chart.
At 35, Crockett still spends most of his time on the road, and he’s hardly slowing down. Even with his surgery, Crockett was back onstage within a couple months hot-stepping across SXSW. This summer, he makes his debut at the Grand Ole Opry as he sets out for headlining US and European tours. Crockett keeps constantly moving forward, even as The Valley takes a moment to reflect on his past.
“Being from the Valley, and traveling around the country and the world, and then playing Deep Ellum hard and being in Austin the past few years – it can be hard to know where you’re really from,” he says. “My story’s wilder than people can make stories up. These songs that I’ve written on this record, it’s all really autobiographical, and they’re about as much depth as I’ve been able to capture writing about myself.”
Or as Crockett sings atop a rumbling shuffle on “The Way I’m Livin’ (Santa Rosa)”:
“If the way I’m living seem like just a mess, believe me I would choose this life over the rest.”
Direct Support from Garret T. Capps, read more below!
GARRETT T. CAPPS
“All Right, All Night” is a journey through Texas on a space ship that launches from San Antone,” explains Capps. “I am the captain. From the recent and distant past, the present, and in to the future, the songs on this record uniquely display my emotions and encounters throughout my life. I believe this album will withstand the test of time and the songs will resonate with the human spirit. It will make you want to dance as well.”
The album, released 8/30/19 is the second installment of The “In the Shadows Trilogy” [following the 2018 full-length album In The Shadows (Again)], kicks off with the title track – a propulsive mix of classic country sensibilities, atmospheric Americana and conflations about the intense mysteries of dreams and journeys in to the subconscious.
The live show is an animal. Expect maximum rippage, dancing tunes, progressively countrified Tex-Mex, and honest songwriting. Viva

Northern National w/ The Docs
2019-10-31 20:00
Grand Stafford Theater Presents:
Northern National w/ The Docs!
Doors at 8pm – Music at 8:30
Tickets $5 in advance or at the door

Read more about the artists below:
Northern National:
“The group’s overall charm falls somewhere between a boy band and a young Rolling Stones,” according to Dallas Observer. Alternative Band Northern National released their debut EP, The New Age, in the fall of 2016 and have never looked back. The Dallas, TX based 4 piece has toured with acts such as Blue October, The Unlikely Candidates and The Band Camino and shared the stage with more. The New Age features 5 indie-rock gems, including their debut single, Love is Fire, and their heartfelt love song Dallas which caught the attention of Spotify.
Love is Fire was featured on Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist and charted on Spotify’s Viral 50 worldwide. Music curators such as Topsify, Filtr, and even Coca-Cola, have also featured the song on their playlists. Since the release of The New Age, Northern National’s songs have been streamed over 1.8 million times and counting. You might have even heard them while watching TBS or MTV.
According to Dan Stringer, a Brooklyn-based producer, this band is one of the hardest working groups he has seen in and out of the studio. From working with VEVO to performing at the headquarters of Facebook, Northern National is definitely a band to watch out for.
The Docs:
Genre: Progressive/Southern Rock
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.
Formed in 2010, The Docs have released a self-titled demo, a self-produced EP “Seasons”, and a debut LP “Audacious” produced by Grammy nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith.
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.

Free First Friday feat. The Wicked River Band & Shadow Canyon
2019-11-01 20:00
Our monthly Free First Friday concert series continues in November with The Wicked River Band and Shadow Canyon!

Read more about the artists below:
The Wicked River Band:
Forged from young wisdom and whiskey, The Wicked River Band made their pact under a cloud of exquisite central Texas BBQ smoke…probably oak or hickory.
Much like the inception of their music, the experience of their live show pairs well with good company and a strong drink. Their swampy blues-fueled rock’n’roll lends to the spirit of old, while giving an electrifying charge through your soul.
The male and female vocals blend to perfection with the grit and sheer power of the band. When asked to describe their sound the WRB sang in beautiful four part harmony “When you ride the Wicked River with whiskey in your liver, your heart will surely quiver because the band always delivers”
Shadow Canyon:
Shadow Canyon is a 90s inspired country band for Bryan/College Station!

2019-11-08 19:00
Joining forces for a special Texas tour,
Grammy-winning guitarist Andrew Synowiec and fusion supergroup trioKAIT present a jam- packed double bill of their original music.
You may not know Andrew Synowiec by name, but chances are you’ve heard his guitar playing!

Andrew has now released his first full length album, Second Story, an instrumental mixture of Rock, Jazz and Blues that has received high praise and wide-ranging air play.
trioKAIT is: Kait Dunton on piano and keyboards, Cooper Appelt on electric bass, and Jake Reed on drums. Fused together via Kait’s unconventional compositions, the trio melds into a laser-focused single entity, bringing a
modern, tight and groovy concept to the piano trio format. Six years and three albums in, trioKAIT has developed a dynamic group sound and acquired many accolades along the way, including 4.5 stars in Downbeat and top spots on the JazzWeek charts for each album (#5, #11, #20).

Libby Koch w/ Joey McGee and Rachel Bloem
2019-11-09 19:30
Read more about the artists below!
LIBBY KOCH
Texas Americana singer-songwriter Libby Koch (pronounced “coke”) is a “country meets soulful” (Free Press Houston), “feisty Texas songbird” (Country Music People) who “sings her story with a little twang, some slide guitar, and a lot of heart” (Texas Monthly). Libby is working on the follow up album to her critically acclaimed 2016 LP Just Move On (Berkalin Records). Working in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Bil VornDick, she draws on legends from Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn to Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, among others, to craft “true cryin’ and leavin’ country songs.” Combining her country soul with a seventh-generation Texas troubadour’s storytelling skill, Koch fills her songs with intimacy and honesty. Like the most timeless country classics, they’re the kind that make you feel good about feelin’ bad.
JOEY MCGEE
When singer-songwriter Joey McGee categorizes his work as roots music, he’s not just referring to the blend of soul, country, blues and rock commonly called Americana. He’s talking about his own roots, cultivated in his native New Orleans, nurtured by a sojourn in San Antonio and a much longer one in Pittsburgh, and planted deeply in his current home of Bryan, Texas.
On his latest album, El Camino Real (Feb. 22, 2019) McGee draws on those roots for sustenance as he navigates the complex terrain of human emotions and experiences in nine original tracks and one cover (Guy Clark’s “The Cape”).
In songs such as “Sunday Blues” and “The Likes of You,” McGee’s warm baritone delivers lyrics that are incredibly personal and revealing. But in others, such as “Hurricane/Forty-Two Hundred and Cigarettes,” he inhabits the role of storyteller, weaving Springsteen-worthy narratives for characters who sound so real, they have to exist somewhere.
Regardless of whether he’s laying bare his own psyche or examining others’, his lyrics always come across as honest. Genuine. Maybe the word we want here is true. As in, they feel true. And speak truths.
RACHEL BLOEM
A native of Bryan, Rachel Bloem has always been a songbird and started her career singing songs over a sink full of dirty dishes.
After receiving her degree in Music Therapy and vocal studies from Berklee College of Music in Boston, she moved back to her roots and has been establishing herself as an active artist in the Brazos Valley.

Read more about Roxy Roca below:
Genre: Soul/Funk/Rock
ROXY ROCA’S mission is to spread a message of love, hope and equality, and to do so while having fun. Drawing influence from the hard-funk of the 70’s, including inspiration from classics like Baby Huey’s “Hard Times” and James Brown on his seminal album The Payback, the band has created a sound unique to its own brand.
ROXY ROCA’S music oozes with funk and R&B while adding in elements of rock n’ roll. The band sonically flexes its muscle on saxophone and trombone, complimented by shredding guitars and deep pocket grooves. The music serves as a vehicle for lead singer Taye Cannon’s lyrics that touch on a range of topics which include the and struggles of love in its many forms and social consciousness. In contrast, he also boasts the lighter side of life because it’s far too short to not have a sense of humor.
The band’s true strength is its live show, and if you’ve ever attended one of their concerts then you know they live by the creed that “Happiness is a Choice”. With no plans of slowing down, they released a new, full-length album in September 2018. ROXY ROCA tours internationally and domestically, and they continue to spread love and hope through music one show at a time.

Blue Water Highway comes from the working class, coastal town background that has informed the work of so many of rock’s greatest writers and artists. They take their name from the roadway that links their hometown of Lake Jackson, Texas to Galveston, where the cops, the teachers, the baristas and the chemical plant workers travel to work hard and to play hard, blowing off steam, dancing to their favorite bands. Blue Water Highway’s music is the soundtrack for their lives. “Best Friend” is the first single from their upcoming album Heartbreak City, coming out on Blue Water Highway Records/Thirty Tigers on June 8th. With a hook that’s a mile wide, it chronicles the lives, loves and friendships that sustain us. Blue Water Highway was started by two “best friends” from high school – Zack Kibodeaux (lead vocals, guitar) and Greg Essington (vocals/guitar). Zack then turned to Catherine Clarke (vocals/keyboard) to complete the three-part harmonies the band would soon be known for. They were then joined by Kyle Smith (Bass) and Jared Wilson (drums).
Joey McGee
On his latest album, El Camino Real (Feb. 22, 2019) McGee draws on those roots for sustenance as he navigates the complex terrain of human emotions and experiences in nine original tracks and one cover (Guy Clark’s “The Cape”).
In songs such as “Sunday Blues” and “The Likes of You,” McGee’s warm baritone delivers lyrics that are incredibly personal and revealing. But in others, such as “Hurricane/Forty-Two Hundred and Cigarettes,” he inhabits the role of storyteller, weaving Springsteen-worthy narratives for characters who sound so real, they have to exist somewhere.
Regardless of whether he’s laying bare his own psyche or examining others’, his lyrics always come across as honest. Genuine. Maybe the word we want here is true. As in, they feel true. And speak truths.
