Ken
Gaines, Wayne
Wilkerson, & Karen
Mal
Featured in Mississippi Coast Magazine, writer
Max Biedenharn describes Ken Gaines as: “A
singer songwriter with a beautifully clear voice
and articulate guitar accompaniment, Ken has played
and studied a lot of music, but it’s obvious
that he’s also studied himself and his craft
and is committed to finding what’s original
and at the same time, universal in his experiences.”
|
Wayne, Karen & Ken |
| |
"Together,
Ken and Wayne are Houston's premier duo
for folk from the heart. Ken's styling provides
the foundation, while Wayne adds just the
right amount of spice to serve up a rare
ambrosia for your soul." ~ Texas
Firelight Theater

In
three short years, Karen Mal has gone from a virtual
unknown on the Austin acoustic music scene (she
originally hails from New England, although she
has spent time in places from Manhattan to Memphis,
from Wisconsin to California), to one of the most
sought-after performers around, both as a solo artist
and as a sideman for others on mandolin, guitar,
and harmony vocals.

Bobby
Bridger
& John
Inmon
Bobby Bridger, great-grand nephew of famous
American mountain man Jim Bridger, began
work on A Ballad of the West over
three decades ago. For over a quarter of a century
he has traveled the globe performing this historical
epic as a one-man show to audiences in America,
Canada, Europe, Australia and Russia.
|
|
Bridger
began his professional recording career in 1967
in Nashville recording several hit singles for
Monument and Nugget Records before signing with
RCA Records in Hollywood in 1970. Bridger wrote,
produced and recorded two albums (Merging
Of Our Minds, and, And I Wanted
To Sing For The People) before parting
ways with RCA in 1973. Since the early 1980s Bridger
has recorded three albums (Heal In The Wisdom,
Live At Kerrville, and the 4 disc
set, A Ballad of the West) on his
own Golden Egg Records.
|
Bridger
has performed on PBS’s Austin City Limits,
ABC’s Good Morning America, A &
E, National Public Radio and
C-Span/BookNotes. He has performed at every
Kerrville Folk Festival, served on the
festival’s board of directors since 1978,
wrote the festival’s anthem, Heal In
The Wisdom, and suggested the popular
“Ballad Tree” to festival founder Rod
Kennedy. Bridger has also been an artist-in-residence
at Yellowstone National Park and was the
first poet/balladeer-in-residence at the Buffalo
Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming and
The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center
in Waterford. Connecticut. In 1982 Bridger created
the role “the Drifter” in Dale Wasserman’s
(Man of La Mancha, and, One Flew Over
The Cuckoo’s Nest) Shakespeare
and The Indians, and appeared in over
200 performances. Bridger served on the board
of directors of the American Indian Theater
Company for ten years and was featured with
David Carradine and the late Will Sampson
in the Native American production of Black
Elk Speaks inTulsa in 1984. Two consecutive
major musical workshop productions of his epic
space ballad Aldebaran and The
Falling Star were created by the National
Theater Institute at the O’Neill Theater
Center in 1984 and 1985. Bridger was on the
faculty of the National Theater Institute
from 1984-1986. In 1988 Bridger was invited to
Oxford University to perform Heal
In The Wisdom during closing ceremonies
or the First Global Forum of Spiritual and
Parlimentary Leaders on Human Survival; featured
presenters were the Dali Lama, Mother
Theresa, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
and Carl Sagan. Full-company outdoor musical
productions of Part One of A Ballad of the
West, Seekers of the Fleece,
featuring many stars such as Tony-nominated Joe
Sears (author/star of the Greater Tuna
trilogy of comedies) and Wes Studi (Dances
With Wolves, Last of the Mohicans,
Geronimo) were produced in Wyoming each
summer from 1988-1995. In June, 2000 Bridger debute
the epic trilogy, A Ballad of the West
at Old Trail Town in Cody, Wyoming, where
the shows now run in repertory each summer.
|
Bridger
is the author of a hardback and paperback edition
of A Ballad of the West and in November,
2002 the University of Texas Press published Bridger’s
Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull: Inventing
The Wild West. Bridger also contributed
essays to anthologies on American western literary
giants John G. Neihardt (A Sender of
Words, 1982) and Frank Waters (Frank
Waters: Man and Mystic, 1993). Bridger is
the host of The Tradition Lives On,
a history of ballads produced by textbook publisher
Holt, Rinehart & Winston as a section of The
Elements of Literature, which is part
of a experimental global electronic textbook.
In September, 2002 the inter-disciplinary freshman
seminar course, Manifest Destiny and Environment:
Fur Trade to Globalization, based in part on A
Ballad of the West began as part of the
Connexus: Connections in Undergraduate Studies
Program at the University of Texas/Austin. Bridger
will teach one day a week at the University of
Texas each fall term through 2005.

His
peers know John Inmon as one of the finest
guitarists in Austin, Texas (and, considering
the competition, that is high praise indeed).
His fans know him as the signature guitar style
that has at one time or another propelled the
music of Townes van Zandt, Ray Wylie
Hubbard, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe
Ely, Delbert McClinton, Marcia Ball,
Omar and the Howlers, Lost Gonzo Band,
Bruce Robison, Pat Green, Michael
Martin Murphy, Keith Sykes, and most
famously, Jerry Jeff Walker, for over three
decades.
|
|
In
addition to performing with those artists, John
has also recorded with the cream of Texas' singer-songwriter
and country-rock communities. His album credits
include work with the aforementioned folks, as
well as sessions with Delbert McClinton,
Robert Earl Keen, Townes Van Zandt,
Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Willie Nelson,
Joe Ely, and even, God help him, Tom
Jones. (The eighties, as John and many others
have noted, was a strange decade).
John
and some kindred musical spirits formed the nucleus
of Jerry Jeff's famous seventies ensemble,
the Lost Gonzo Band (and, later, its 1990s
successor, the Gonzo Compadres), in the
process recording such classic Walker albums as
Viva Terlingua, Ridin' High
and A Man Must Carry On. The Gonzos
even managed to record two albums on their own
for MCA Records.
The
tales of those years are legion, and some are
even true. But John's musical inspiration and
enthusiasm never flagged, and he emerged into
the new century relatively unscathed, and ready
to begin a new incarnation.
| |
"I'm
very excited that John Inmon will be playing
with me. As a founding member of the legendary
Lost Gonzo Band, I'm honored he's
been my friend and associate for 35 years."
~ Bobby Bridger |
The
signature sound of Texas music has always resided
in the guitar. Our Lone Star State has always
been a hot bed of string-bending guitar wizards,
including one with the name, John Inmon.
Join
us, this will be an incredible show of legendary
Texas Music!
