T‑RICHARD and the ZYDECO STINGRAYS
As an adolescent in the mid '70's, T-Richard grew up listening to reggae and calypso music. Back then, he was jamming on Max Romeo, Peter Tosh and The Gladiators while his Zeppelin lovin' school pals thought he was just plain eccentric. His love for Jamaica and the rest of Caribbean was useful later down the road, as his connection with Creole culture landed him in the middle of Acadiana.
His interest in southern Louisiana culture afforded him his own Louisiana music radio program "The Louisiana Music Party" Monday nights, on Dallas' Community Radio, KNON 89.3 FM, which has been running for nearly 17 years now. His weekly spinning Louisiana tunes motivated him to create the music he fell in love with. For 13 years, he has been playing accordion in various DFW based bands. He helped spawn his first bands, Zydeco Faux Pas, The Swamptones, and most notably, Hippie Gumbo. After the demise of Hippie Gumbo he joined forces in 2003 with an Americana band, The ComeAlongs. After the split up of the ComeAlongs in 2005, he decided it was time to develop his own band, T-Richard & The Zydeco Stingrays.
T-Richard's major influences are Travis Matte, Beau Jocque, Step Rideau and Wayne Toups.

SCOTT H. BIRAM &
THE DIRT DAUBERS“An impassioned multi-instrumentalist unleashing a brutal cacophany with the fury of someone whose check from the Devil finally cleared. Half dirty blues, half underground punk, half honky-tonk, half revival meeting…oh shut up about the math. You’ll see the light.” ―Dayna Papaleo, Rochester City News
“His barbarous exorcism of Depression-era blues—with a bedrock of frantic flatpicking, foot stomps into a floor mike, and gutteral growls through a distortion mike—has made Biram a rising star in Austin.” ―Brian T. Atkinson, No Depression
“Biram is the kind of guy you don’t laugh at all the way just in case he really is crazy. We all wanna be entertained, but nobody wants to get stabbed in the head with a screwdriver.” ―Frank de Blase, Rochester City News
“With a raw immediacy that recalls Hasil Adkins and Bob Log III, Biram specializes in a twisted hybrid of gutbucket, hillbilly and godless metal. He’ll praise the virtues of moonshine and titty bars one minute, then tongue-lash city slickers and hippies the next.” ―John La Briola, Houston Press
Rock ‘n’ Roll ain’t pretty and neither is Scott H. Biram. The self proclaimed ‘Dirty Old One Man Band’ successfully, and sometimes violently, lashes together blues, hillbilly and country precariously to raucous punk and godless metal.
Scott H. Biram won’t die. On May 11th, 2003, one month after being hit head-on by an 18-wheeler at 75 MPH, he took the stage at The Continental Club in Austin, TX in a wheel chair – I.V. still dangling from his arm. With 2 broken legs, a broken foot, a broken arm and 1 foot less of his lower intestine, Biram unleashed his trademark musical wrath.
When Scott H. Biram took the stage at his 2004 SXSW festival showcase right after Kris Kristofferson he was quoted as growling “They said that was a hard act to follow….I’m a hard act to follow motherfuckers!!” The stunned crowd looked on.

The first act was Izzy Cox. According to her Myspace page, Izzy “is an anarchist crooner….she has coined the style Voodoobilly Jazz as her own”. Izzy hails from Austin, Texas, Hollywood, California, Brooklyn, New York and Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I like Izzy’s combination rockabilly, western swing, murder ballad style. She sings her heart out and with a lot of emotion and has a commanding stage presence. I felt that each song was a story and she wanted me to feel her pain, joy, happiness and sorrow. Tonight Izzy and her guitar, accompanied by Megan Harris on trumpet from Waco, Texas, were the band. Wow, two powerful women. Izzy is a must see performance and will be in the Austin area until March. I bought Izzy Cox’s Love Letters From The Electric Chair CD and my favorite tunes were: Devil, Devil; Belle Gunness; Man Of The Clothe; and not on CD, Fucking and Fighting and Bad Bad Woman. ―MannyGoCrazy

Highest High Heels Contest !!! Why not ??? C'mon guys, you can join in on the fun, too !!!A little background: The former punk-rocking guitarist for Austin’s Skunks first came to national attention when he rode shotgun for the brothers Escovedo in the True Believers. “One Moment To Another”, his signature song for that band, was subsequently recorded by both Kris McKay and Patty Smyth, while his guitar has graced the bands of John Doe, Kelly Willis and Calvin (big in France) Russell. Over the years, Graham has continued to wrestle with his own songwriting demons, trying to express the universal concerns of love, loss and renewal in a manner that rings truer and hits harder than typical troubadour fare. ―DON MCLEESE, No Depression
Singer, songwriter and guitarist John Dee Graham is a native Texan with a deep, eclectic musical history. The writer Don Henry Ford Jr. describes Jon Dee Graham as “unvarnished, raw and gritty.” He can sing soft introspective songs or he can blow you out of your seat with pounding rock and roll. April, 2006 marks Graham’s return to independence with the CD release of Full on Freedom Records, Graham’s 5th solo release. He was voted “Musician of the Year” at the Austin Music Awards during the 2006 South By Southwest Music Conference.
Critics have high praise for Graham: Richard Skanse of Rolling Stone describes Graham as being “ferocious with primal roar as human as he grapples everyman’s struggle.”
“A master songwriter and guitarist, Graham creates tales of truth and hope.” ―Austin Chronicle
“[Graham’s] gravelly voice continues to age like a fine wine, his songwriting reigns supreme, his music is a standard hoisted in the name of maturity without compromise.” ―High Bias
“[Jon Dee has] channels into John Updike territory and, in the process, delivered the most complete album of his solo career.” ―Houston Press
Jon Dee Graham is a combination of solid musicianship, salt-of-the-earth songwriting with a gravelly-voiced delivery.” ―Michael Corcoran, Austin American Statesman

Led by Kim Pendleton (formerly of Polygram recording artist Vibrolux) and husband Chris Bonner (Sons of Sound). THe BAcksliders songwriting reflects both their environment and relationship borrowing from such elements as Memphis soul, classic country, southern rock and punk. Backed by local rhythm greats Nolan Thies(Lauren Fine) on bass and Taylor Young(Young Heart Attack, Polyphonic Spree) on drums.
