    It's McGonigel's Mucky Duck Songwriters NIGHT! Songwriters Night featuring Leigh - Gibson - McKay.

    BRENNEN LEIGH - "If what passes for country music these days gives you a headache, Brennen Leigh has the remedy. The Box is traditional. No loud guitars or booming drums, just simple instrumentation, uncomplicated sentiments, and the local's honeyed vocals. The young singer-songwriter has an obvious affection for the Louvin Brothers. Contemporary artists like Patty Loveless and Jim Lauderdale make similar moves, mixing bluegrass and country with deep admiration.

    Lauderdale even sings harmony on the title track, about mementos people keep locked away either because they want to remember or, more likely, because they don't. Leigh has progressed tremendously since she moved to Austin from Minnesota as a 19-year-old. It's doubtful she could've written "Sleeping With the Devil" at a younger age or delivered it with such plaintive resolve. It's like that inside The Box, songs of wounded characters, hearts broken, and restlessness, all delivered with a touch that's distinctively warm and human." -Jim Caligiuri, Austin Chronicle

    NOEL MCKAY - A fifth generation Texan, grew up in the hills of Bandera County with his brother Hollin. Music became an inescapable part of their lives early on. While still in in their teens both brothers began playing professionally. Noel’s first experience would begin in the honky-tonks and dance halls around Bandera. Hollin, at age16, later joined his brother playing such colorful places as San Antonio biker bars and rustic dives. Since then the McKay Brothers have shared the stage with the likes of Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Charlie Robison and Robert Earl Keen.

    SUSAN GIBSON - "I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Acoustic music, This is the best sounding CD that I have heard this year, the sound quality is stunning, plus she has a set of ten very well written and performed songs." NO DEPRESSION
