Dana Cooper & Susan Gibson
Kerrville Partner
Americana legend Dana Cooper has wowed crowds throughout the U.S. and Europe recently, with tunes from his newest album, Made of Mud on King Easy Records. William Michael Smith of The Houston Press wrote, “The album rumbles with plenty of roots-rock swagger… As a songwriter, Cooper shows he's paid attention during his 30 years of trial-and-error authorship. On Made of Mud, he repeatedly demonstrates personal warmth, intellectual vigor and a Zen grasp of imagery, metaphor, story line and poetics". Dana's highly original lyrics, skillful guitar work, evocative vocals and stage humor have earned him a devoted following with fans and critics alike. Cooper's songs have been recorded by artists such as Maura O'Connell, Jonell Mosser, Susan Werner, Jen Cohen, Christine Albert, Trout Fishing in America, Pierce Pettis, Johnsmith and Shake Russell.

We are always extremely pleased to be able to present Dana and his music. It's always a special evening ... don't miss it.

Susan Gibson is always happiest on the move. Even though she's settled into a home in the Texas Hill Country, she still puts upwards of 60,000 miles a year on her customized freightliner van. Her 2005 release, Outer Space, included a live version of her song "Wide Open Spaces" which the Dixie Chicks propelled into one of the all-time best-selling country songs.
emptypixels
Susan's claim to fame is her songwriting. Her passion whispers and roars. Her songs are natural pearls - grains of truth at the core, wrapped in silken melodies, and gritty enough on the surface to guarantee authenticity.
emptypixels
Susan grabbed honors as winner of the 1998 CMA "Single of the Year" and a Grammy nomination for writing "Wide Open Spaces," title track of Dixie Chicks' multi-platinum Grammy Award winning album.

Joining Susan onstage this evening will be the fantastic fiddle player Marian Brackney.

Matt Harlan & Brad Boyer

Matt Harlan is a songwriter's songwriter, composing scenic landscapes and pointed statements disguised as songs ... often non-linear, but always melodic. Harlan's works confront social norms, celebrate lives overlooked, or just wax poetic about coffee and bus-stops. Whatever the inspiration, the music is always heartfelt and genuine. Matt took First Place in the 2006 American Songwriter Lyric Contest for his song "Waiting For Godot."

Butch Morgan & Betty Soo

Kerrville Partner
Able to hold any audience with his true to life songs, stories, and his sense of humor, Butch Morgan is a top notch entertainer who gives his best every gig.
His songs have been covered by the likes of The Georgia Satelites, the Dusters, the Flying A's, Mitch Web & the Swindles and others.
He has won several notable songwriting awards including The Wildflower Music Festrival Song Writing Contest, finalist in the Mountain Stage Newsong Competition 08', finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival Newfolk Contest (05' & 08'), and honorable mention in the recent Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest.
Butch has been a regular on the San Antonio music scene since the 70s, breaking ground by merging country, rock, folk and all the other influences in his life into original songs filled with insightful lyrics and catchy melodies. Other artists cover his material and his songs have virtually become anthems.
He has also refined the craft of 'putting on the show', a consumate ringmaster making sure a good time is had by all. Crowds of loyal fans all over Texas sing along with his originals and marvel at the energy and the innovative new twists he brings to the standards.
The first studio CDs from Betty Soo were well received by critics, earning praise locally and nationally, even securing her performance opportunities overseas. She has earned multiple songwriting awards including Kerrville New Folk, Wildflower Festival, and Big Top Chautauqua Songwriter of the Year, and has proven herself a strong emerging live performer.
As for genre, she’s still nestled in the folk-rock world. She is bringing something new to her listeners such as a little gospel, some straight-ahead folk, a bit of twang, and familiar oldies with a new twist. Be ready for a surprise.
And, of course, there’s the whole issue of her name. How did a second-generation Korean end up with such a classic southern name? Is it a stage name? “No,” she answers, laughing, “I guess I’m just lucky that way. It’s right there on my birth certificate. Soo is my dad’s middle name, too. Yep, he’s a boy named Soo.”

Blind Justice

This recently formed Houston-area guitar duo, is tonight's musical entertainment. Wally Brannon and Joel Marlowe originally came together in 1983 and over the past 25 years have shared many a stage as band members or duo partners. The name Blind Justice was taken from the name of a song Wally wrote when he was in prison ... well, not really, but you'll have to come hear them to get the true story behind the song.

The Hudsons
Kerrville Partners
The Hudsons
The Hudsons are quite possibly the hardest-working folk group in Austin. Brian Hudson and Hudson Mueller have been playing together in some fashion for over six years now. Over the years the duo have accomplished great things. The Hudsons have won multiple awards, including Best Folk Band from the Austin Music Awards. They've toured all over the U.S. and Canada, producing three albums, three bumper stickers, two t-shirts and a koozie. They've even created a whole new business model for small-time bands--playing out so often that your career imitates a regular job. And most impressively of all, they've garnered a diverse and loyal following in Central Texas.
