Ray Prim
Friday, March 12, 7:30 p.m.

Ray Prim describes his music as “Bill Withers heading over to Abbey Road in a Cadillac to pick up Ben Harper so they can catch the tail end of The Reverend Al Green's sermon.” A 2016 Black Fret Recipient, Prim is a singer-soulwriter based in Austin, Texas. His music takes listeners back to the days when songs were inspiring, meaningful, and thought-provoking. His tunes are melody-based short stories that anyone can relate to and identify with, and it only takes one of these many songs to become instantly hooked. Five words sums him up: ear candy for the soul.

Kelly Willis and Jamie Lin Wilson - Song Swap
Friday, April 9, 7:30 p.m.

Kelly Willis is Back Being Blue, to take a color-coded cue from the title of her seventh album. It’s a shade she wears well, though long-patient fans might just say: You had us at back. They’ll take a new Willis record in whatever hue it comes, now that it’s been 11 years since her last solo release, 2007’s Translated from Love. The Austin-based singer/songwriter has hardly been MIA in the intervening years, having recorded and toured as part of a duo with Bruce Robison. But she’s setting the duet M.O. aside for do-it-alone mode, at least as far as the spotlight is concerned (Robison hovers just outside it this time as producer). Hers is a solo voice again, but it’s not necessarily sotto voce: This is an album of songs about lonesomeness that also happens to be a cracklingly good time.

Jamie Lin Wilson is easy to love. With her warm, strong vocals, sly sense of humor, and lyrics that highlight the details that most of us miss, she creates stark vignettes: footsteps in the hall outside a motel room; the way a lover lays their head down at night; a humble but inviting front porch. Jamie cut her teeth in beloved bands including the Gougers and the Trishas, but most recently, she’s emerged as one of the finest solo singer-songwriters working in that sweet spot where folk and country music meet.

Beat Root Revival and Pat Byrne
Thursday, July 1, 7:30 p.m.*

Comprised of multi-instrumentalists Ben Jones from Kent, England and Belfast, Ireland native Andrea Magee, Beat Root Revival has been taking American audiences by storm with their utterly original sonic amalgam of folk, rock, country, and traditional Irish sounds. After landing in America five years ago, the duo has stolen the hearts of captivated audiences, most recently as support for the Brian Wilson’s “Pet Sounds" tour; they have also toured as the opening act for Brian Setzer, The Fixx and ABC’s Nashville TV star Jonathan Jackson.

Pat Byrne is an Irish singer songwriter, living between Austin, Texas, and County Carlow, Ireland. Pat's voice strikes an emotional chord with his audience; ranging from seductive whisper one moment, to full-bodied rock 'n' roll growl the next. His latest work reflects both his Irish roots and the rich influence of the musicians he’s recently worked with in Texas.
