Doors: 7pm
Shelby Lynne: 9pm

This very special solo performance is a limited seating concert with chairs set up on the dance floor. All seating will be first come, first serve.

With the critical success and recognition of I Am Shelby Lynne, recorded in 1998, Shelby Lynne was awarded the Best New Artist GRAMMY in 2000 after nearly 13 years in the business. Love, Shelby was released in 2001, followed by a pair of intimate, self-produced albums Identity Crisis (2003) and Suit Yourself (2005). She made her acting debut in 2005, playing Johnny Cash’s mother in the Fox Searchlight motion picture Walk the Line. Just a Little Lovin’, her critically acclaimed tribute to Dusty Springfield, was released in 2008. Shelby recently founded her own label, EVERSO RECORDS. Lynne’s Tears, Lies, And Alibis, EVERSO’s first release, debuted at No. 16 on Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart in April of 2010. A Top 10 hit at Americana radio, it was hailed by Newsday as “her strongest album in a decade,” a sentiment echoed by numerous critics.

Revelation Road, Shelby’s most personal record yet, was released on October 18, 2011. She wrote, recorded and produced the album, which leads off with the title track and first single, “Revelation Road,” a stirring reflection on reckoning and redemption.

Old 97’s: 9:30pm

Since the Old 97’s roared out of Dallas more than fifteen years ago, they have blazed a trail through alt-country and power-pop, led by the piercingly observant lyrics of lead singer Rhett Miller. In 2005, Old 97’s recorded during two shows at Gruene Hall for a double-disc live album called Alive & Wired which was released later that year. Each new Old 97’s record is hotly anticipated, and rightfully so: Blame It On Gravity, from 2008, contained some of the band’s most deeply felt and passionately played songs. But in a career full of high-water marks, The Grand Theatre Volume 1 is perhaps the most ambitious and accomplished set of recordings yet. For the first time in the band’s career, the Old 97s recorded a double album which is not a traditional double album (as it would have been in the seventies or eighties) or two albums released simultaneously (as it would have been in the nineties), but rather a pair of thematically linked records released months apart: The Grand Theatre Volume 2 was released in July 2011.

Charlie Robison: 10:30pm

A sixth-generation Texan, Charlie Robison hails from tiny Bandera, Texas. He and his brother, noted musician Bruce Robison, found an interest in music early on, and by the age of 15, Charlie and his brother began playing gigs around Bandera. Later, he made his way to the Austin scene, where he was a part of such bands as Chapparal, Two Hoots and a Holler, and The Millionaire Playboys. In 1995, he released his debut album, Bandera, followed in 1998 by Life of the Party, his first disc on Sony’s Lucky Dog label. In 2000, Charlie became part of history when the “Unleashed Live” Record was recorded at Gruene Hall for Sony’s “Lucky Dog” label. The album is a combined effort with Bruce and good friend Jack Ingram, and culminated with the successful Lucky Dog tour of the US. A second studio effort, Step Right Up, was issued in 2001 followed by his album, Good Times, in 2004 and his self-produced album, Beautiful Day, in 2009.

Opener: Aaron Einhouse 9pm
Aaron Watson: 10:30pm

It’s no secret that Texas has always had its own kind of music and its own kind of music business to go along with it. But even by the wide-open standards of the Lone Star State, the ongoing career and success of Aaron Watson are something else. With an uncanny knack for mixing great songs and unforgettable performances with good, old-fashioned business savvy, Watson has grown night-by-night, fan-by-fan, album-by-album, one honky-tonk stage at a time into an unstoppable force in Texas Music with his sights firmly set on the national stage. In 2004, Watson hooked up with veteran producer and Asleep at the Wheel leader Ray Benson to release his fourth album, The Honky Tonk Kid, which spawned the hit single, “Reckless”. His next release, San Angelo, also produced by Benson, debuted at #60 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and continued Watson’s career momentum and impressive album sales. Watson’s 2008 release, Angels & Outlaws, reached #28 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and landed in the Billboard Top 200. The album’s debut single, “Hearts Are Breaking Across Texas”, reached the #1 spot on the Texas Music Chart. His latest release, The Road & The Rodeo, has reached #25 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and also landed in the Billboard Top 200.
