Waitin' on Hayden with Devon Harris
2017-08-05 19:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, 77803, United States
Waitin’ On Hayden
Raised as every Texan should be, Waitin’ on Hayden was born to the small towns of central Texas away from the city lights. Such isolation proved the perfect environment to produce hard sought talent worthy of the Texas Country Music Scene. These guys are the result of the conditions they grew up; countryside, surrounded by great country music, and plenty of beer.
Formed in 2015, the band of six consists of frontman Darrell Gibbons, pedal steel/lead guitar player Rusty Shackleford, lead guitarist Hayden Krueger, fiddlist AJ Hoffmann, drummer Troy Stone, bassist Jonathan Kollodziej.

Devon Harris
Devon Harris is an up and coming Texas country artist from the BCS area and has been playing music all his life but writing music for a little over a year. His time on the road for different jobs have taken him too many country’s around the world and many states across the USA. This has given him many life experiences that he can share with the crowd. Yet, at the end of the day he just likes to drink beer and play music.

Jake Dexter & the Main Street Sound
Hip-Hop and Soul. With hard work and dedication Jake has made a name for himself in the industry as a professional pianist and has had the opportunity to play with bands opening for artists Chris Young, Matt White, SleeperStar, Randy Rogers, Josh Abbott, Chiddy Bang, Jillian Edwards, David Ryan Harris, Roger Creager, The Secret Handshake, Jack Ingram, Kevin Fowler, Chris Rice, Fiction Plane, Aaron Watson, Mike Studd, Bart Crow along with many others.

With the heart and soul that Jake and his group possess, it seems like nothing will stop them from making Jake Dexter and the Main Street sound, a household name.
Odd Folks
Odd Folks is the love child of modern punk and post hard core ordained by the dpirit of DIY and fortified with pop influence. The band stirs catchy hooks, emocore, and the ferocity of 00’s alternative rock into a sound that defies the boundaries of both genres and audiences alike. Odd Folks: Punk Tested, Mother Approved.

VODI with Fellow American
2017-08-03 19:30 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, 77803, United States
VODI
Vodi is a 6 piece indie rock band based out of Houston, TX featuring ambient keys, driving rhythms, effortless hooks and a nostalgic sound.
Fellow American
Fellow American is a bunch of rowdy boys (according to their mothers) from Lubbock, Texas. While members Aaron Parrish & Clint Scott began writing together in 2011, the band was officially established in 2014. Alternative rock, pop, folk, indie, and gangster rap (only not really this one) are just a few of the various genres they pull from. We like to write good music. It’s that simple. They’re not concerned with falling under any specific category of music; but what they do take very seriously is the role of providing their listeners with something that sticks. whether on the stage or in the headphones, their aim is to serve their fans and each other while maintaining authenticity and integrity.

This week’s speakers and presentations:
Michael Kellett– “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (The Importance of Archival Images)”
This presentation will emphasize the volatile nature of today’s digital media and the importance of traditional silver-based photographic materials for the long-term storage, archiving and sharing of important images.
Bailey Mullens– “Designing a Future”
Some topics that will be covered: The Power of decision making; How technology is changing the Job market for current college students- Thinking in an exponential manner; The difference between Millennial social interactions and Generation X (Facebook vs. Twitter); The lost art of conversation; Nutrition- Genetic testing, Podcasting/ Self Education- Time to be feeding your brain while doing other activities: Driving, working out, walking to class; Power of echoic retention; Passion meets your skill set; I have a firm belief that you have a set path set out for yourself but you don’t have to take said path; Constant learning; IQ, EQ, SQ; and plans to solve homeless population issues in Austin, Texas.
Ryan Terry– “Incremental Development and the Future of the City”
So much of the real estate industry is extractive, where far-away investors build disposable buildings that mine the value from our communities. Unfortunately, this often creates towns and cities that people tolerate instead of love. Across the country, communities are realizing that big developers cannot be induced to come build the neighborhoods they want. No one is coming to save them from the status quo. They’ve got to do it themselves. The Incremental Development Alliance is working toward a more generative real estate model, where local people can invest in their own neighborhoods and communities through grass-roots real estate development. Through this fine-grained, small-scale, incremental development model, we are dedicated to filling our towns and cities with buildings that punch above their weight, giving back to the city through taxes, to the neighborhood through street appeal, and to the owners through positive cash flow.
Bill Jenks– “What the Viz? “
Visualization is a term that seems to pop up every spring around the Brazos Valley. Why do we hear it so often and what does it mean? Many people have a view of a part of the puzzle. Come along on a short journey beyond Webster’s to our creative universe and get all the answers to the question: What the Viz?
Zofia Rybkowski – “Continuous improvement game map”
Doors open at 5 for Grand Stafford’s Craft Cocktail Tuesdays and our presentations begin at 7. Admission is free, but we hope that those who can afford it will make a donation of at least $10 to help sustain PechaKucha nights in the Brazos Valley.

Free First Friday Feat. Alex Riddle
2017-06-02 19:30 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, 77803, United States
Alex Riddle
Alex Riddle’s debut EP, Happy Daggers, was commended by the Houston Press in its monthly Best Houston Music feature as “versatile, eclectic, and polished.” The 3-track EP, released in April 2016, showcases his range and “robust musical background,” opening with Truth Fairy—a muscular rock’n’roll tour-de-force— then moving to pensive acoustic balladry with Hosting Ghosts, and closing with an exuberant cover of the Bjork classic Hyperballad.
Since releasing Happy Daggers, Alex has taken Houston by storm, culminating with a Houston Press Music Award nomination in November 2016. He has shared the stage with acclaimed acts such as Big Thief, Lucy Dacus, and Seratones. Alex was one of 10 artists chosen from among over 100 submissions to be featured in the first annual Wicked Music Showcase in October 2016, and his live performances have garnered repeated mention in Free Press Houston’s Best of the Week. In the coming months, he’ll build momentum, playing dates around Texas, and recording and releasing the follow-up to last year’s EP.
Bang Bangz
Bang Bangz is a 4 piece dream-pop, synth influenced band that delivers an intoxicating mix of surreal and transcendent songs. Their ethereal sounds have been compared to the likes of M83, Gorillaz, and Washed Out. The band creates an undeniable vocal dynamic that swirl together into a truly arresting sound.

//Aaron Stephens//
Born in Illinois and raised in McAllen, Texas. 25-year old Aaron Stephens’ debut album Hard Times, Straight Lines garnered interest immediately, landing a spot on Lone Star Music Magazine’s list of Top Selling Albums of 2014.
While regularly performing blues and funk, Stephens’ real strength is his own soulful sound. Crowd-pleasing, genre-bending music influenced by his many influences, from Al Green to John Mayer, and D’Angelo to Derek Trucks.
//The Digital Wild//
Indie-Electronic
//Rotisserie Chickens//
What do you get when you take a couple of guys from an indie folk band, mix them with a couple of guys from a metal band, and throw in a couple of guys who play trumpet and trombone?
A six-piece ska band from a northen suburb of Dallas, TX. Didn’t see that coming… did you?
Listen to us just once and you’ll understand why a guy in a Dallas ska band said we “sound freaking tight” and that we are “a nice addition to the Dallas ska scene” and another local artist said we are “legitimately the best live band I’ve ever seen.”
Listen to us twice and you will realize the depth of emotion in the tweets from our fans when they say we “did a-1” or were “badass as usual” or that we are “so sick” and that we “were so lit tbh it was great.” Our fans don’t lie.
//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.
