Marcia Ball
Saturday
January 26, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
Singer/pianist Marcia Ball knows how to raise roofs and tear down walls with her infectious, intelligent and deeply emotional brand of southern boogie, rollicking, roadhouse blues, and heartfelt ballads. Over the course of her three-decade career, Ball has earned a huge and intensely loyal following all over the world. Her exquisite piano playing and passionate, playful vocals fuse New Orleans and Gulf Coast R&B with Austin's deep songwriting tradition into a sound No Depression described as a little rock, a lot of roll, a pinch of rhythm and a handful of blues. Marcia is a five-time Grammy nominee with her last album, Roadside Attractions, nominated for best blues album.
Rollicking, playful, good time blues and intimate, reflective balladry...her songs ring with emotional depth. – Rolling Stone

Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express
Saturday
May 11, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.
Chuck Prophets catalogue is overflowing with insightful character studies, jangle-pop perfection and energetic barroom rockers. And that accounts for just some of the songs he has written, recorded, and forgotten. In the 25-plus-year career, the 49-year-old has established himself as a minor god in the roots rock pantheon – a sharp, prolific singer-songwriter who always seems to have a new batch of tunes ready to go. Chucks latest CD, Temple Beautiful, is a nuanced, insightful and passionate ode to San Francisco and has met with the highest praise from critics and fans alike.
