Leeann Atherton "is a somewhat hidden treasure in Austin, she can walk a lot of different avenues, from soul to rock to country to blues, and come out shining bright wherever she is. Her recent album (Fallen Angel) is a stunner, it includes some of the best musicians who call anywhere home, and needs to be heard. This is a woman ready to break out shortly. What a treat".

Testimonials
Alicia, February 2022
This was truly a unique and magnificent experience. Will is an awesome tour guide, he provided a nice history of the park, took us to some magical places, and provided live music along the way. Go on this tour! You won’t regret it!
Cassandra, April 2019
“Will took us on a musical journey in nature that was incredible and therapeutic. We had a small group and hiked along a trail that was fairly leveled due to one of the hiker’s physical condition. Along the way Will made sure all of us were taken care of and having a good time. We were later joined by another amazing musician/cellist Charles. The only downside to this trip is that whenever I’m hiking now I miss Will and his gang of musicians. I’ve been spoiled. Next time I will bring my teenage kids.”
Sarah, April 2019
“This was a unique experience, and I enjoyed combining music with nature. The fresh air along with soothing music, made me feel at ease and one with our group. Highly recommend, if you love the outdoors and love listening to live music.”
***Debbie, April 2019
“Unique experience connecting both to nature and to music. A quieter, reflective sidelight on the frenetic Austin tourist experience. Also, a chance to network with some area musicians.”
