Theo LawrenceTheo Lawrence is a young, independent French-Canadian songwriter, musician & singer based out of Bordeaux, France, and more recently, Austin, Texas. His music is rooted in the country music songs of the 1950’s and 1960’s, borrowing elements from Soul, Pop, and Rock ’n’ Roll of the same era. A mix of styles & sounds, done with a deep love for tradition, while bearing the mark of modern times.
For the last ten years, Theo has been one of France’s leading purveyor of the tight, subtle American groove. He fully comes into his own with his latest Austin-crafted album, Cherie, in a genre French musicians are not expected : classic country. The whole gamut of a Texas Dance Hall band, delivered with a croon straight out of Charlie Rich or Ray Price’s golden years.
Theo releases his music on his own record label, Tomika Records, which is also home to other kindred spirits sharing the same passion for record artistry and tradition.

Willy Tea Taylor
There is no question that Willy Tea Taylor’s life as a singer/songwriter was predetermined – his role realized the moment he wrote his first song. His inspirations drawn from two separate wells; Living the life of a cattleman’s kid and experiencing true visionaries music like Greg Brown, John Hartford, and Guy Clark. The image of Guy Clark and friends sitting around the kitchen table loaded with ashtrays full of butts, half-smoked cigarettes, food, and booze on one Christmas Eve in 1975 burned into Taylor’s soul. Those guys, swapping songs without pretense, lit Willy Tea’s fire. And ever since, its led purpose with passion – finding a hang by curating relationships through musical friendships that get him closer to his own Clark style kitchen table.
From his early days co-fronting The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit, to singing solo in countless cowboy bars, to pitching countless wiffle ball games, Willy Tea has never lost the vision. Now Willy Tea Taylor has taken his vision of the “hero hang” on the road. and his talented traveling band The Fellership is made up of his fantastically talented buds who play Willy’s songs with a brand of reckless abandon and utter humility that spits in the face of pretense. The way The Fellership plays Will’s songs is the way they demand to be played and, in their short time together, they have been awe-ing every audience lucky enough to see them.
