The Weather Inside,” Beth’s eighth studio release, is a case study in contrast.  A coming-of-age statement record from a veteran artist, Beth’s latest work embraces strength and tenderness. “ a musical triple-threat — a thoughtful songwriter and talented multi-instrumentalist with a supple, soulful voice.” — Washington Post       Follow Beth on” Troubador, TX” on the CW Network www.bethwoodmusic.com

Woody Russell- Saturday, April 21, 2012- Doors 7pm, Show 8pm

The critics are weighing in and they agree that Woody Russell’s latest release, “Up Against It”, is an exceptional album; proof positive that he is an artist to watch. A vibrant blues/soul outing, this recording highlights Russell’s musicianship as an “inventive”, “exemplary” guitarist, as well as, a vocalist and songwriter of the highest caliber. He shades a note and pours on the soul with the best of them. “Up Against It” celebrates, aches, rocks and soothes; his most thoroughly potent recording to date. Here’s evidence that modern blues is thriving and in good hands. Follow Woody on “Troubador, TX” on the CW Network  www.woodyrussell.com

Ann Armstrong/Stephen Hughes- Sat. July 21, 2012 Doors 7pm Show 8pm

Ann and Steve as a team, and their mutual love for the music, started more years ago than either care to comment on. One critic commented “It’s scary to think of where Ann would be today if she’d been putting out records earlier in her career”. They have, through the years, shared billings with Albert Collins, Jerry Jeff Walker, Hot Tuna, Arlo Guthrie, Guy Clark, Taj Mahal, Richard Thompson and many more.“…her talents, both as a songwriter and blues performer, are deep and diverse."
