Mark Rubin & his Ridgetop Syncopators
$15.00 Both my parents were musicians,
they actually met while both were members of the University of Arizona
marching band, and my father's first good job was as national secretary of
the Kappa Kappa Psi Marching Band honorary fraternity. His office was on
the Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater, and he soon became the
announcer of the Cowboy Marching band, hauling me along in tow on away
games. (At the game I got to march into the stadium and then sit in the
last row with the sousaphone players who I grew to idolize.) My dad always
had music on in the house, I remember Coupland's American suite,
Joplin's Red Back Book and his beloved German oom-pah music on the big
Magnavox hi-fi. (Mom was more of a Limelighters/Peter Paul and Mary fan
herself) We even had a rebuilt Wurlitzer 78 rpm Juke box, the kind with
the bubbles going up the sides like in "Happy Days," loaded with
an odd mix of Elvis, the Coasters and Danny Kaye. Some of my happiest
childhood memories are sitting on the floor, with my back pressed up
against these huge machines, my eyes closed tight, soaking up every nuance
of the sound rattling my whole body. |

Richard Smith and Julie Adams
$15.00 Richard Smith was born in Beckenham, Kent, England in 1971. One day, at the age of five, Richard was watching his father fingerpick “Down South Blues” (an Atkins-Travis recording) on his guitar. The boy begged his dad to show him how to play it, and finally he did. Despite the fact that Richard is left-handed and his dad’s right-handed guitar was not designed for tiny hands, by the end of that day, Richard learned and played both the chords and the melody. Within no time, the toddler outstripped his dad’s six-string prowess and it was clear to all who saw or heard him play that Richard was one of those rare phenomena -- a child prodigy. Concentrating initially on the music his father loved – the country picking of Chet Atkins and Merle Travis – young Richard digested everything he heard, learning even the most complicated of these tunes with ease, and confounded everyone with his dexterity. It seemed that, not only did the boy possess amazing physical skill, but a photographic musical memory as well. Often, a single hearing was all it took to get a piece under his fingers. Richard first met his hero, the “Godfather” of finger style guitar, Chet Atkins when he was only eleven and was invited by Chet to play with him on stage at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London in front of an audience of about a thousand. He played Chet’s arrangement of “Whispering,” and Chet played along with him. Then the audience went mad and Chet asked him to play another one. Before Richard could decide what to play, someone shouted “Little Rock Getaway.” and Richard played Chet’s arrangement of it while Chet, not playing this time, watched him in amazement playing to a stunned and appreciative audience. By the time he reached his early twenties, both Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed began to refer to Richard Smith as their “Hero” – and still do. There seems to be no limit to
Richard’s ability to quickly master whatever guitar style captures his
fancy. The complex styles of many guitar greats including Django
Reinhardt, Les Paul, and Lenny Breau have proved to be no impediment to
his voracious musical appetite. Apart from his guitar virtuosity, he is
also an accomplished banjo and violin player.

Clay McClinton Band
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Clay
McClinton has an eclectic sound born in Texas where honky tonk, Delta
blues and soulful rock meld seamlessly. While he has clearly inherited
the talents of his Grammy award-winning father, Delbert McClinton, Clay
has carved his own niche in the world of music with his original style
and sound that appeals to audiences across the country.
With Son of a Gun, the follow-up to his fine debut Out of the Blue, McClinton demonstrates his stellar honky-tonk credentials on songs like “One of Those Guys” and “Dig Deep”. A confident songwriter, he wrote or co-wrote all but one track. Besides Delbert, Clay has been influenced by greats such as Willie Nelson, Rodney Crowell, Bob Dylan, J.J. Cale, Ray Charles, Hank Williams and Doc Watson. Few artists have pursued their careers with the clarity and conscious exploration that mark Clay’s self-designed path. He grew up in Fort Worth, TX and began learning guitar and harmonica from both his father and older brother. As soon as he graduated from high school he high tailed it to Austin. That would be the first of a series of conscious steps towards his self-development as a musician and songwriter and, eventually, producer as well. While in Austin, he absorbed the creative atmosphere and began writing. From the beginning he wanted to develop his repertoire of originals before taking to the stage full time. His next move was actually a skip across the pond for a trek around Europe. He and a couple of fellow musicians spent four months playing music in hostels. When he returned to the states, Clay decided on a move to Flagstaff, AZ. He began playing in two distinctively different bands. The Blues Project drew on Texas stomp and southern blues for their sound, while Second Harvest was an acoustic blues/bluegrass/folk band. Clay immersed himself in playing live; performing five or six nights a week with experienced players. After a couple of years in Flagstaff The Clay McClinton Band was created in which Clay and his Telecaster took center stage. Clay’s relocation to Nashville in 2003 was another conscious move. This time it was to hone his writing and production skills in a town known for the rich songwriting community and top of the line studios. It was a move his father had made more than 15 years before. Most recently, Clay decided to come full circle and return to his Texas homeland. He recently relocated to Austin and is working on his 3rd CD. Clay’s journey has clicked along a single track; one designed to expand and develop his musical career. Son of a Gun takes another step along his path, further developing Clay’s studio experience and providing more original material for his band to perform on the road. “I love every aspect of this career,” Clay says. “I like writing and producing, but I also love getting on stage in front of fans all over the country. I’ve got a great, tight band, strong original material, and most of all, great fans. I’m just having a blast.”

Friday, July 18th Patrice Pike Duo
Austin recording artist Patrice Pike, fresh from her multi-category win ( Musician of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rock Band, Best Female Vocalist and Induction in the Music Hall of Fame) at this year’s Austin Music Awards SXSW 2007; and a standout tour in New Zealand in support of her third full solo release, “Unraveling” tours Central and Mid-Western US immediately after SXSW. The album, released by her own new label TapeSlap Records and distributed by Redeye USA, showcases Pike’s well established substance as a songwriter and dynamic versatility as a performer. In 2006 Patrice Pike finished as a Top 7 finalist in the prime time television show Rock Star which introduced her to a worldwide television audience (10 million national viewers weekly). Pike has long enjoyed a loyal following extending back to her days as the front woman for the band Sister 7. Propelled by Pike’s soaring vocals and highly literate songwriting, Sister 7 spent the ’90s flirting with rock stardom. The quartet charted a couple of Billboard hits and toured with the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, John Fogerty, and the Lilith Fair (featuring Sarah McLachlan and Natalie Merchant). After the 1999 Arista shakeup that featured the unceremonious ousting of industry legend Clive Davis, the band found itself without a label and discouraged, and subsequently disbanded. Pike wasted no time plunging into a solo career, founding an indie label with Sister 7 band mate Wayne Sutton. She has toured internationally as a solo artist, including main stage appearances at festivals as prestigious and stylistically diverse as High Sierra, Kerrville, Strawberry, and Austin City Limits. She’s also picked up some hardware, claiming the overall grand prize in the 2004 USA Song-writing Competition. Patrice Pike is a socially aware, spiritually grounded artist on top of her game as both a songwriter and a performer. “Unraveling” features a strong and decidedly eclectic collection of songs ranging from the made-for-radio Beautiful Thing to the socially acute Ridiculous Mess to an absolutely superb trio of R&B tunes.

Lonesome Heroes / Brian Birdwell Special Co-Bill
THE LONESOME HEROESBio:
Brian Birdwell was raised in the smallest town in Texas -- where the pine trees meet the cotton fields; the stomping grounds of great bluesmen like Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, and Blind Lemon. His first job was selling watermelons from a trailer beside the road. Later, he drilled water wells, made documentary films, and traveled 'round the world. Brian's first paid gig as a solo artist was on an island near Thailand, in a sushi bar owned by an Italian couple. He had to ride a boat taxi from the beach where he was living! Eventually he made his way to Austin, Texas to kick back and learn about this ole music biz. He lives on kungfu and breakfast tacos. Keep your eyes open and you'll catch him swimming in the creek or riding his bike!

Sara Hickman
Sara Hickman likes to write about
things that pop into her head, like bowls full of stars and kerosene and
faithful hearts and cantaloupe and birdhouses.
she likes to sing, too. she will whip out her guitar at parties and around campfires to get everyone singing along. she likes lots of voices singing. as says, "it only takes one voice to start a choir." she feels sad when she sees homeless people, and stops to see what can be done. she likes to go in hospitals and sing for kids and cancer patients, and she wishes she could breakdance really well to raise funds for the children of Uganda, but since she isn't much of a dancer, she joined a blogathon instead and wrote for 24 hours straight to raise money/awareness. her high score in bowling is 197. she rode in an elevator with Pete Townsend, sang a duet with George Burns, wrote flamenco guitar music for a play that starred Melissa Gilbert, and charmed johnny carson twice on his late night show. she has recorded 14 albums to date, some for big people, some for small. she doodles, and will leave a chalk mark on your sidewalk if you're not home. she thinks Austin is weirdly wonderful and encourages it to stay that way.
