    Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros - Fri., Mar. 9th   (free show)

A near constant presence on the Texas Music Chart since its inception, Walt Wilkins is a songwriter, producer, singer, guitar player and artist. He spent a solid decade in the Nashville country music business trenches, scoring a few cuts by major artists such as  Ricky Skaggs and Ty Herndon., but it was Pat Green's recordings of several of his songs that made Wilkins' name known in Texas. Leaving Nashville for Texas, Walt has built himself a solid reputation as one of Texas' best songwriter/performers, and is a much sought-after producer and advisor to the latest generation of songwriters. Come see Walt and his great band, The Mystiqueros, on March 9th, 7:30-11:30. This is a free show courtesy of Gruene Hall!
 

  Sat. March 10th  (tickets at the door only)

With roots firmly planted in the fertile musical soil of Texas, the Eli Young Band is a little bit country and a helluva lot of guitar-driven rock & roll. The band was formed five years ago by Mike Eli who grew up just outside of Houston and James Young who hails from Irving, TX.  Late in 2003 well known producer Frank Liddell (Jack Ingram, Miranda Lambert, Chris Knight) attended a show at the Gypsy Tea Room where EYB was playing on the bill with Miranda Lambert. He was blown away by their live show and wound up signing them to Carnival Recording Company soon after.  After signing with Carnival Records, the band released "Level" in 2005, catapulting them into the spotlight and expanding their tour schedule beyond the Texas border. Catch them while you still can! Tickets are $10 at the door only. Ryan James opens the show.
