That's Right, You're Not From Texas... BC Artists Celebrate the Great Music of Texas

BC Artists Doug Cox, Tom and Kalissa Landa, Daniel Lapp and Mick Sherlock are joining up a hot night of 'in-the-round' concerts celebrating the great songwriters and music of Texas.

With such a deep well of songwriters to choose from and without giving away some lovely surprises, you could expect to hear songs from a list as diverse as Guy Clark & Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, Tanya Tucker, Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Buddy Holly, Janis Joplin, Sly Stone, Kenny Rogers, Lisa Loeb & George Jones to name a few.

The line up includes two of our Provinces great fiddle players (Kalissa and Daniel) so don't be surprised to hear a mighty tribute to the Texas fiddlers and with multi-instrumentalist and singer, Tom Landa as part of the crew we can expect a nod to the Tex Mex greats like Freddie Fender & Doug Sahm.

With slide guitarist Doug Cox and harmonica ace, Mick Sherlock joining the show, there's the great Texas blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, T-Bone Walker, Lightinin Hopkins, Big Mama Thornton and so much more.

And with multi-instrumentalist and singer, Tom Landa as part of the crew we can expect a nod to the Tex Mex greats as well like Doug Sahm, Flaco Jiminez or Lydia Mendoza.

All in all it's going to be a great celebration of music of music from Down South!
