The Troubadillos 5PM	Jimmie Dreams 8PM

See "The Totally Terrific Troubadillos" every Tuesday!	A lifelong Austinite, Jimmie Dreams’ life trajectory forever changed when an infant Jimmie escaped from his stroller, only to be taken in by roving Austin Musicians. His first full-sized guitar was purchased from a protoge of Lightnin’ Hopkins. His long-time childhood teacher learned from SRV himself. Today his guitar playing, described as “ingenious” by Offbeat Magazine, has taken him nearly around the world. His recent endeavors have found him venturing out to center stage, under the spotlight, and on to making his name as a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and bandleader for Crescent Soul Revue, the Gritones, and a slew of other bands. jimmiedreams.com

The Greers 6PM	Graveltooth 8:30-12:30AM
The Greers are a collection of singer/songwriters originally from the Beaumont/Port Arthur area. Their music is a blend of influences from the area, ranging from Americana, Classic Country, and Blues, with touches of Cajun and Blue-Eyed Soul, all with a Texas texture underneath. Featuring: Douglas Greer, Dick LeMasters, Joe Greer and Barbara Greer.	Since forming in 2015 in Hudson Bend, TX, Graveltooth has become known for their explosive and gutsy rock and roll, heartfelt lyrics and soulful grooves that often venture into psychedelic terrain. Their sound is an amalgamation of many influences but is ultimately about taking an old school, down and dirty approach to music. It’s a sound that transports the listener to a seemingly long lost era of high-flying guitars and rock'n roll bravado. www.graveltoothmusic.com

But she has plenty of variety in her sets to please all types of audiences, and she regularly receives praise about her song selection. Leigh’s vocal influences (whom she calls her ‘teachers’, as she honed her craft and taught herself to sing by listening to these artists) include Bonnie Raitt, Patty Griffin, Trisha Yearwood, the Wreckers, Aretha Franklin, Patsy Cline, Etta James, Ruthie Foster, Bekka Bramlett, Reba McIntire, among many, many others. leighrowanmusic.com	For the past four years Emmerson Biggins has been one of the hardest working bands in south Texas. Averaging more than 100 dates a year the boys have played dance halls (AND DIVES) from Laredo to Austin and Eagle Pass to Houston. If you believe that Haggard trumps Chesney, if you turn up your radio when Buck comes on and change the channel when Rascal Flatts starts whining…. This is your band. One word: “Real”
