Lost At Sea
2021-11-14 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Grand Stafford Theater, 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
There’s a longing we all feel for a place to call home. Often, it feels like the transient nature of time and relationships leaves you stranded at sea without the means to find your way back. The journey changes you for better or for worse but there’s hope to be found in the search. Dallas musicians Lost at Sea have taken both the beauty and the tension of this idea and committed it to sound. Trying to find hope and meaning when lost is the driving force behind the band’s lyrics and sound. Nestled somewhere between the post-hardcore and emo scenes of their youth and the maturity they’ve experienced growing out of their mid-20s, they jokingly call their genre ‘Post-Grad’. The Texas-based band are armed with a blistering collection of 10 songs that tackle intimate subject matter: loneliness, personal revelation, loss of loved ones, and love. The band’s debut LP, slated to be released spring 2021, showcases furious drums, gritty guitars, intimate ballads, and anthemic choruses. All reinforcing the idea that even if you’re lost, you can still find hope.

Joshua Ray Walker with Thomas Csorba
2021-12-11 19:30 | Grand Stafford Theater, 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
A working musician since the age of 13, Joshua Ray Walker first began honing his lyrical talents after the death of his beloved grandfather. “My granddad’s the one who got me into music, and I wrote a song called ‘Fondly’ in the parking lot of the hospital he was in,” recalls Walker, who was 19 at the time. “Back then I was mostly playing rock and punk and blues and metal, but I quickly realized that the songs I was writing were country songs.” Raised on bluegrass, he lists Texas legends like Guy Clark and Billy Joe Shaver among his essential inspirations, but also notes the undeniable influence of country superstars like Alan Jackson and George Strait (“All those ’90s country songs were so hook-driven, they really bored into my brain,” he says). With the arrival of Wish You Were Here (an album that spent 12 consecutive weeks on the Americana radio albums chart), Walker won lavish praise from outlets like NPR Music and began opening for such artists as Colter Wall and Charley Crockett, in addition to headlining tours in the U.S. and Europe. Hailed by No Depression as “an album that outshines expectations for what country music can, and should, sound like,” Glad You Made It earned the admiration of leading critics like Ann Powers (“a new voice who really impressed me”), with its singles featured on such coveted playlists as Spotify’s Indigo and Tidal’s Best of Country 2020. Over the years, Walker has continually captivated crowds with his magnetic live show, a feat that finds him joined by musicians like bassist Billy Bones and drummer Trey Pendergrass (both of whom played on See You Next Time). “I’m really proud of the band on this record, and I’m also proud that I didn’t just go out and get hired guns from Nashville or Austin,” Walker says. “They’re guys I’ve played with for 10 or 15 years, and at this point we’re all like family.”

Born and bred in Texas, Thomas Csorba is a young Americana artist ready to prove himself. Writing and performing since his early teens, Csorba already has some impressive notches on his belt; opening for acclaimed acts like Yola, Amanda Shires and John Moreland, as well as performing at ACL Festival, SXSW and the beloved Luck Reunion. With the release of Thomas Csorba, in 2020 Thomas was ready to bring his voice and songwriting prowess to a larger audience. And while the pandemic put a halt to many of his plans Thomas still managed to have a great year. Putting together a virtual tour of Texas to benefit NIVA, gaining new fans and garnering critical acclaim with The Houston Chronicle asking the question “Is Thomas Csorba the next great Texas songwriter?” Those who discover Csorba today will find a voice imbued with wisdom beyond the singer’s years, a sense of purpose and a searching spirit that suggest his youth.

Dallas Burrow with Ethan Hanson
2022-01-20 19:30 | Grand Stafford Theater, 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
Dallas Burrow has always been an adventurer. Born and raised in Texas, he cut his teeth on the road, traveling across much of the free world with a head full of songs and a thirst for thrills. Along the way — somewhere between the childhood guitar lessons he received from his father (a blood brother of Townes Van Zandt and friend of Guy Clark) and the vagabond whirlwind of his 20s — he built his own brand of American roots music. It was a sound rooted in folk, shaped by classic country, and heavily influenced by the Texan craftsmen who’d come before him. Decades after his father raised hell with Lone Star State legends, Dallas Burrow proudly picked up the torch, carrying Texas’ songwriting tradition forward with albums like Southern Wind.
Ethan Hanson is a singer/songwriter out of College Station, Texas. He’s been writing songs and performing them for people for years now. An old soul, he was inspired by Texas greats like Guy Clark and Rodney Crowell to pick up a pen and tell stories. These days, he plays more than 100 shows a year and attends Texas A&M University. Recently, Ethan released his first single, “More Than Her Eye”, and has another on the way in late January. Come see him open up for another great storyteller in Dallas Burrow on January 20th at Grand Stafford Theatre!

The Gray Havens
2022-03-24 19:30 | Grand Stafford Theater, 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
Literate, vibrant music that surprises and stirs is the hallmark of The Gray Havens, a band that centers around the husband and wife duo David and Licia Radford. Their songs spring from the pages of books and the everyday moments of life and are as likely to leave the listener pondering a deep mystery as celebrating a simple pleasure. Blue Flower, the duo’s fifth studio release, explores a soul-deep place of mysterious, inconsolable longing. The engaging songs give this longing a name and usher the listener from a long winter to a bright summer. Blue Flower is fertile ground for wonder and joy and launches The Gray Havens’ rich song-craft to new heights. Since their story began in 2012, The Gray Havens have evolved from a “narrative-pop-folk” duo to a band continually experimenting with pop and cinematic elements which, ultimately, has defined a musical atmosphere that’s all their own.

2022-04-01 19:30 | Grand Stafford Theater, 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
If there’s one thing the members of Rococo Disco believe, it’s that good music has soul. Funky bass lines (hear “Lial”), dense layers (hear “Cowboy Dreams”), and unique vocals (hear “Honey Do”) and groovy vibes float your way the second you wet your whistle with one of their tracks.
Rococo Disco has gained over half a million spins on their singles “Honey Do” and “Lemon Drop” and entertain 20,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify. Core members include Paul Chu and David Soto, who grew up 9in Austin, Texas and met while attending Texas A&M University. They started playing shows around Central Texas and have continued growing their popularity since.
Their following has come to expect high-energy live performances and funny stage antics like kazoo solos and confetti explosions. Paul is the frontman and has a hilarious back-and-forth dynamic with the crowd. David is known for his mind-bending guitar solos that he’s liable to play with his teeth if he’s feeling it. That, coupled with Paul’s vast vocal range and power makes for extremely fun and compelling shows.
The band dropped their first EP in 2019 called “Jaded”. The project includes local hits such as “Honey Do”, a harmony-filled tune with an infectious chorus, and “Lial”, a gritty expression of jealousy. Other popular singles include “Lemon Drop”, a moody tune with dense layers and “Cowboy Dreams”, a fun cosmic cowboy frontier jam.
Their influences include D’Angelo, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Tame Impala, Still Woozy, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Hiatus Kaiyote, and The Beatles.

Led by four Aggies, Push to Start is a burgeoning rock outfit local to the BCS area. Whether they’re covering songs spanning the history of rock and roll or playing their own original music, they bring the same level of energy and drive to the stage.

Chris Renzema received more than 36 million audio streams of his independent project, I’ll Be The Branches, which was a personal, but less autobiographical, worship album.

Receiving well-over one million Spotify track saves over the last year, a 2020 Pandora “Artist to Watch” nod and a GMA Dove Award nomination for “New Artist of the Year,” Get Out of the Way of Your Own Heart continues Renzema’s more personal trajectory. The album features lyrics that cut to the bone while singing about hope and echoing the universality of both pain and praise.
