Mike Stinson
Mike Stinson spills perfectly written honky-tonkisms like you'd expect from a top-shelf country music songwriter a half century ago — the kind of pointed, poignant and sometimes funny lyrics that are in short order these days. For more than 10 years he found work as a drummer for Vic Chesnutt, Liz Phair and Christina Aguilera. But the desire to write and perform his own songs proved too strong, and he began composing honky-tonk tunes that reflect his love of the “classics from the golden age of country.

Kimberly M'Carver
A sitting-on-the-beach-house-porch-in-a-breezy-sunset ambience ... M'Carver's voice covers the same full-throated range that Emmylou Harris's does, but has a sweeter, more - dare we say it - "dulcet" tone .. M'Carver shows clearly with Danger Line that she no longer needs label help in putting out first-rate stuff ... Houston Press

She's drawing big crowds of live music fans with her strong vocals, warm acoustic sound, and dynamic stage presence. The audience's experience is Libby's #1 priority at her shows, and everyone always has a good time, whether the show is wild and crazy or quiet and contemplative..

John Evans
"Never one to shy away from changing style and direction, Evans has taken a musical scalpel to everything from honky-tonk to punky rockabilly to preppy Old 97's pop-rock, each time with class and muscle." - William Michael Smith - Houston Press
John Evans can write a song...and make it sound like no other. His cleverly written tunes and unique delivery have been a mainstay in the Texas Music scene for over ten years.

Men of Moores
