Susan
Gibson is happiest on the move, putting upwards
of

60,000
miles a year on her van, and her latest journey
is OuterSpace.
That's the name of her latest CD which stretches
her musical boundaries and is the edgiest work
she's ever done. The new recording includes a
live version of her song "Wide Open Spaces"
which the Dixie Chicks propelled into one
of the all-time best-selling country songs.

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.
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.
Sharing
the bill with Susan this evening will be the popular
Houston duo, Smythe & Taylor. Plus, Brett
Mouton will provide an opening set.

Mark
Beets Band
Mark
has a sound which has been called "Organic
Americana". According to Ken Gaines, fellow
musician, "Mark's music will sneak up on
you. One minute you're listening politely and
the next minute you're either laughing or crying
your eyes out." It's fresh, different from
most of the stuff out there today. Long Ago
& Many Days, Mark's debut collection of
songs, was produced by White Cat Productions.

lyrics are strong and reflect his life's experiences.
Michael has one CD to his credit so far.

player, but he is so much more. He is a gifted

in many musical genres. Willie writes and sings
songs around the people in his life. He has been

Ken
Gaines &
Wayne Wilkerson &
Bill
Ward
On stage tonight ... three very talented, popular
entertainers who have been around the block a
few times. They are each well known in the Texas
music scene as powerful singers and creative,
prolific songwriters of the magic we call music!
Ken
Gaines has "a beautifully clear voice
and articulate guitar accompaniment." His
lyrics are both powerful and poetic and highlight
his skills as a story teller and observer of life.
Ken's latest CD, Catfish Moon, recorded
at Songdog Records and co-produced by Bill Ward,
has been selling like hotcakes. He was the recipient
in 2005 for the Texas Music Awards - Singer/Songwriter
of the Year and the My Texan Award. He's a proud
member of MyTexasMusic.com.
Wayne
Wilkerson is a guitar wizard for sure ...
artful mastery of the strings. His incredible
skills on the guitar makes him a truly amazing
lead player. Along with tasteful guitar licks,
you can hear Wayne's smooth harmonies.
Bill
Ward's personal background is as diverse as
the number of instruments he plays; Bill is a
marathon man of music. He has a blues-inflected
baritone voice, crystal clear enunciation and
incredible vocal command. Bill captures the hearts
and minds of his listeners time and time again
with his dynamic stage presence, gripping prose
and unforgettable melodies present in every song.
He is incredible!
You
will not want these guys to stop playing at the
end of the night. This show is highly recommended!
