MAREN MORRIS
Her style transcends Rock, Country, Blues and Pop styles, with soulful vocals that invite yet defy comparison to current and past musical performers. Maverick Magazine (UK) said Maren "...conjures Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Natalie Maines" while the Fort Worth Weekly called her "...a tiny hurricane of blue-eyed soul." Whatever you call her Maren's innate vocal phrasing, intuitive writing and solid guitar performances stun audiences at live shows and shine through in her recordings.
Seven Fort Worth Weekly Music Awards, including Best Female Vocalist, Songwriter of the Year & Texas Music Artist of the Year.

Three Charting Songs on Texas Music Charts
TEJAS BROTHERS
The best way to define the Tejas Brothers sound is to say that it is "Genuine Texas Music". It's a winning combination of musical influences from around the Lone Star State. Imagine listening to traditional Texas blues from T-Bone Walker & Freddie King, the Rock and Roll of Buddy Holly, the Country soul of Buck Owens, and the Tex-Mex sounds of The Texas Tornadoes...all at the same time!.

PAULA NELSON
When your dad is a founding father of outlaw country and a major musical legend, at some point, you realize resistance is futile: Even if you don't seek a career in music, eventually, it's gonna seek you. Like the Cash and Jennings kids, Paula Nelson picked up "Papa Bear" Willie's way with a song early on - along with her aunt Bobbie's skill on piano, which Paula started playing at age 7. Although her dad once advised her, "Remember to watch everything I do and do the exact opposite," she drew influences from his Highwaymen pals and contemporaries such as Kris Kristofferson's then-wife, Rita Coolidge, whose bluesy, supple vocal style provided one of Paula's earliest templates as she found her own voice. Texas Monthly has called that voice "torchy," and the Los Angeles. Times praised, "There's no missing the unforced power of Paula's singing."
