• Acoustic Sessions Update: David Garza, Rescheduled June 22 March 27, 2012

  “David Garza has always been an odd proposition. Over the course of 20 years and 20 albums, he has flirted with a kaleidoscopic variety of musical styles, while never vowing allegiance to one signature sound. His 21st album, Dream Delay, is exceptionally prismatic, an A.D.D. mishmash of styles that’s as rewarding as it is perplexing…It’s an uneven journey, but there are so many gems here that it’s hard to resist buying the ticket and taking the ride. The bouncing, indie-pop of “Dead French Dudes” and the album’s exuberant send-off, “Loveless,” (featuring longtime pal Fiona Apple) are both graceful reminders of Garza’s extraordinary range and dexterity as a songwriter. Sure, he’s an unorthodox proposition, but those are the ones that usually make for the most interesting stories.” - Filter Magazine

• The Acoustic Sessions presents: Ruby Jane, April 13 March 26, 2012

  “A vivacious, effervescent and ferociously talented instrumentalist, writer and vocalist, the young Dallas native immediately attracted the attention of Willie Nelson and Asleep At the Wheel’s Ray Benson upon moving to Austin…As she left the stage, several of the early-morning festival goers wandered around like survivors of a tornado’s near miss. And in some ways, that was apropos-Ruby Jane seems less like a kid not yet old enough to drive and more like a force of musical nature.”

• The Acoustic Sessions presents: Dustin Welch, May 18 March 26, 2012

  “Anthemic or brooding, his songs share the same keen eye for detail, riding on the borders of country and getting to the guts of being alive. Whiskey Priest, Welch’s debut, is noisier and harder edged than the work of his father, owing to roots-rock bands of the past, especially the jagged “Dirty Mind” and soaring “Heartbreak.”  - Austin Chronicle

• The Acoustic Sessions Dead of Winter Series: Steve Poltz March 23 February 20, 2012

  Among the music cognoscenti, Steve Poltz is regarded as one of the most talented and prolific songwriters of our time. His songs have been among the longest running ever on the Billboard Top 100 and they regularly appear in movie soundtracks, television shows, and even the odd commercial. His touring schedule is ferocious, ping ponging between continents with enough frequency to earn him manic followings in scores of different accents and languages.

• The Acoustic Sessions Dead of Winter Series: Dan Dyer January 13 January 2, 2012

  “It’s one thing to claim soul as an influence and quite another to actually put the classic authority of Al Green and Sly Stone to proper use. Dan Dyer sings with an instinctive urgency that incorporates elements of country, blues and soul, tying things together with what’s universal in the best of each genre: intensity.” — Darryl Smyers, Dallas Observer
