After moving to Texas during COVID, Fred became a regular at open-mic nights at The Gringo, later joining 7 Year Drought before his musical journey ultimately led him to Hurry Caine Butterflies.

Les Freres Michot

Les Frères Michot started playing together as an all-brothers Cajun band in 1986, although the individual musicians have played with each other and with numerous other groups since the mid 1960s. The group plays traditional Cajun music in the all-acoustic "bal de maison" (house dance) style that was prevalent before the advent of electric amplification, and the Michots’ aim to preserve this style of Cajun music. Their music has a strong vocal component with all lyrics in French. Instrumentation includes fiddle, accordion and acoustic guitar, sometimes adding the p’tit fer (basse triang’), contrebasse, and lap steel guitar, as the situation warrants. The Michots have played extensively throughout the United States and have toured in Quebec, Acadie, France, England, and Poland, but they play primarily in south Louisiana. The group has produced three albums. The first album, "Elevés à Pilette," was released in vinyl and tape on the ARZED label in 1987, and re-released on the LFM label in cd and tape in 1996. That album was produced by Zachary Richard, who also sings on one track, and includes the late Dewey Balfa as a guest musician on several tracks, along with the five Michot brothers (Rick, Tommy, Bobby, David, Mike). The second album, "La Roue Qui Pend,” was released in Spring 2003 (cd) on the Swallow Records label and features Tommy's sons, Grammy winners Andre and Louis, along with four of the original brothers (Tommy, Rick, David, Mike). The third album, "La Caroline," was recorded at La Louisianne studio in Lafayette and was released in September of 2008 on the LFM label (cd); it features Rick's son Patrick along with brothers Tommy and Rick. La Caroline was re-released out of France as “Dedans le sud de la Louisiane” under the Fremeaux label. The Michots as a group and as individuals have recorded on several additional albums and have been featured in numerous films, documentaries, and national television and radio programs. They have also played in countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Ireland, and Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan). They play at various venues throughout the year and hold a standing Sunday residency at Prejean's, playing brunch at noon.

Luke MacNeil

Luke MacNeil is a singer and acoustic guitarist based in Alpine, Texas, known for a gravelly baritone and a percussive, heavy-handed style — he raps the beat out on the body of the guitar, a self-taught approach born of playing without a drummer and rooted in the country songs his father and uncles played when he was young. What sets Luke apart is what he refuses to play. As a rule, he steers clear of the popular bar-song covers most rooms expect — the crowd-pleasers you hear everywhere. Instead he builds his sets from two sources: his own songs, and the great, overlooked work of little-known writers he believes the world should hear. He's especially drawn to murder ballads and to songs of exceptional craft, inhabiting each one as if he'd written it himself. That instinct runs through his recordings. Across Here's One for Sanity (2006), Under Covers (2006), and These Are Good Songs (2014), he mixes originals with carefully chosen covers of writers he admires — among them Tom Waits, Tom House, Peter Mulvey, Martin Sexton, and Jeffrey Foucault. MacNeil cut his teeth on the Boston folk circuit in 2006–2007, playing Club Passim, the Abbey Lounge, and the streets of Davis Square, and studied under Steve Rapson, author of The Art of the Soloperformer: A Field Guide to Stage & Podium. He has performed across the country in the years since, including a long-running residency at the Rose Room Revue in Upton, Massachusetts, where the Milford Daily News found him "singing in a gravelly voice about losers, lovers and lost souls." He looks for songs about real people living real lives, and plays them for audiences who really listen.

The Sidewinders have performed as the headlining and support act at dozens of major music festivals throughout Texas, as well as many of the high-profile music venues around the state.

The Duo performs both original music and a mix of classic blues, soul, pop and jazz standards. The highlight of the Rochelle & The Sidewinders Duo performance is the crystal-clear prominence of Rochelle’s magical voice in all its natural glory unencumbered by the dynamic trappings of a full band.

Roy Herrera

My name is Rogelio (Roy) D. Herrera and I live in Alpine, Texas. Now retired, I can concentrate on performing as a solo guitar singer/song writer. I sing original songs and a blend of covers that include classic country, rock n’ roll, blues and Spanish tunes. Growing up in Fort Stockton, Texas (El Comanche), my inspiration for music began with singing acapella gospel music and listening to classical Mexican Mariachi music, blues, rock n’ roll and country from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. As I play classic and acoustic 6-string guitars, my music is a natural raw sound to kick up your heels or for dancing belt-buckle polishing music. If you wish to write a song for someone or for an event or cause, I am willing to assist you with the wording and can add guitar music to it. Also, if there is a current song/s that you wish to hear, I can try to accommodate. I have no claim to fame but I have played in Alpine’s local venues for the past 2 years and in the Terlingua area, south Brewster County. I am willing to play in public and in private venues. As I mostly perform solo, there is always the possibility of performing as a duo or trio, etc. I have music equipment for an independent setup on or off the grid. I am available for any day of the week, indoors or outdoors. Thank you for supporting the local venues and local musicians. “HAVE GUITAR, WILL TRAVEL”

Ryan Talley

Ryan Talley is a Texas Country recording artist from George West, TX. The 30 year old singer/songwriter has been playing and writing country music for nearly a decade. He’s been singing since he was a small child, so when a guitar was gifted to him as a graduation gift his senior year of high school, nature took it’s course and within months he was writing and singing his own songs. He took some of those songs in 2019 to a local producer where he constructed Texas Most Wanted; his first EP. After spending half of a decade building a catalogue of songs and honing his songwriting skills, while also spending time in local studios, and playing local venues and festivals, in 2023 he decided to take his talents to Music City (Nashville TN) where he recorded most of his self-titled EP, “Ryan Talley”. In 2024 his touring efforts took off as he put together a live band and explored the vast Texas Music Scene. His music is riddled with traditional country sounds reminiscent of artist like Clint Black, Don Williams, and George Strait. His lyrics explore the most common emotions like love and hate, but also point to much deeper parts of life such as growth, struggle, addiction, and redemption, while also giving fun loving fans some boot scooters and stompers. It is safe to say if you like good ol’ fashion country music, you’ll love Ryan Talley.

Mathis and drummer/recording engineer Chris Wright (both from Billy Shaddox, Antonio Lopez Bands), musicians from the vibrant Boulder scene.

Teresa Storch steeped herself in the subways and coffeehouses of the New England folk scene after transplanting to the Boston area. The two connected musically in 2013 in Boulder, CO after Storch had paused her 8 years of touring troubadour life, while Lacis was looking for local musicians to play with. Their common ground? A mutual love of live music, and especially Jam bands. Storch's last solo record 'Come Clean' from 2014 included Peter Lacis on guitar, along with Phil Parker (Gregory Alan Isakov), Bridget Law (Elephant Revival), and Garret Sayers (The Motet). It garnered international attention, chosen for The Top Country/Americana Albums of 2015 by Martin Chilton of The Telegraph (UK). John Apice of No Depression Magazine stated "Emmylou Harris would find a wealth of inspiration in these songs..." Previously she'd worked with Grammy winning producer Ben Wisch for her 2008 'Stream of Concrete' album. Storch was chosen a 2015 GrassyHill New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival, selected as an Emerging Artist at the 2015 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and received Honorable Mention in the 2015 Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter's Competition.

'Open Your Heart' spent 3 months in the top 25 on the Jambands.com radio chart and was featured on Relix Magazine's Featured Artist Playlist for September/October 2024.

Vision Arcade

Vision Arcade is an Austin, Texas-based alternative/indie rock band made up of four members: Rory Kendall (vocals, lyrics), Max Robison (lead guitar), Evan Brock (bass), and Connor Torres (drums). The group started as a high school class project between four friends in Austin, and after graduation it became the only future that made sense to them — they stayed together, wrote constantly, and built their sound the hard way instead of waiting for a break. Their music blends vocal harmonies, ambient textures, and reverb-drenched guitar work into a bold, distinct take on alt-rock. Since their first single in 2019, Vision Arcade has drawn acclaim from magazines, blogs, and radio stations, and racked up millions of streams across platforms. They've toured with and opened for acts like COIN, Remi Wolf, Sawyer Hill, West 22nd, Quarters of Change, and The Stews, playing rooms across the U.S. and Canada — from 7th St. Entry (Minneapolis) to The Echo (LA) to 3TEN ACL Live back home in Austin. The band has just wrapped their debut full-length album, IT'S ALIVE, produced by Matt Meli (SZA, Gary Clark Jr., Tommy Richman), due out later this year.
