His latest album, Texas To Tennessee, produced by industry heavyweights Michael Knox and Jaron Boyer, soared to No. 1 on the iTunes Country Album charts. Drawing inspiration from legends like George Jones, James Taylor and Bob Seger, Walker’s music transcends generations, earning him a well-deserved place among country music royalty. A member of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, Walker continues to captivate audiences nationwide, gracing stages from coast to coast with his electrifying performances, showcasing his unwavering passion for music and advocacy.

Whatever the genre or era of the composition, Mr. Taylor brings to it an active imagination and intellect coupled with heartfelt intensity and grace.

For several years, her popularity grew around such memorable originals as “Bring Me Some Water,” “No Souvenirs” and “Ain’t It Heavy,” for which she won a Grammy in 1992.

In 1995, Etheridge issued her highest charting album, Your Little Secret, which was distinguished by the hit single, “I Want to Come Over.” Her astounding success that year led to Etheridge receiving the Songwriter of the Year honor at the ASCAP Pop Awards in 1996.

LEFTOVER SALMON
2024-01-26 19:00 - 23:50 | Strings Music Pavilion, 950 Strings Road
Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special, once-in-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon. SOLD OUT! Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while simultaneously pushing that sound forward with their own weirdly, unique style. They began as a forward-thinking, progressive bluegrass band who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever-evolving sound, found their role as a pioneer of the modern jam band scene, and have evolved to their current status as elder-statesmen of the scene who cast a hugely influential shadow over every festival they play. *Please note, this will be a dancing show with all reserved seating. Please be respectful of the folks around you – feel free to dance at your seat or the back of the hall.
