About this Event
Ken Gaines
is a Portland, OR area singer/songwriter, producer, and teacher who has the goal of writing great songs in just about every genre and style. "For all the great songs that have been written I belong to a wonderful tribe who believe there are a least as many great ones still to be written."
His voice has the range to cover those styles and his supple guitar work lays down arrangements instead of just chords. His lyrics are both powerful and poetic and highlight the skills of a story teller and observer of life. Formerly from Houston, TX, in 2005 he was voted Singer Songwriter of the Year by the Academy of Texas Music and in 2007 his song "Einstein's Violin" was nominated Song of the Year at the Texas Music Awards.
Jeremy Famà
draws influence from early traditional jazz, Americana, blues and soul music to create a flowing soundscape of melody. He blends original pieces into a range of popular music and standard tunes with a free-spirited approach.
David Becker
is an award-winning Texas singer-songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist. He performs solo acoustic shows, as a fiddle/guitar duo, and with his Dave Becker Band. Dave’s music is a unique blend of folk, jazz, swing, country, and blues with memorable lyrics that draw on stories from his Texas life - just honest and authentic Texas music.
His 15-song debut album, released Dec 2019, was recorded and mixed by Terry Mashburn at Big Note Studio, Abilene, TX. The album features masterful instrumental tracks by Milo Deering with harmony vocals by the talented Twyla Foreman. Many new songs have been recorded since and are unreleased as of Oct 2024.
