"Joining the Navy was one way for Ruthie to stake out her own path. It was during her time singing for the Navy band Pride that her love for performing became apparent. After leaving the service, Ruthie signed a development deal with Atlantic Records and moved to New York City to pursue a career as a professional musician.

Returning to Texas, Ruthie solidified her place as an up-and-coming singer/songwriter and began a musical partnership with Blue Corn Music. Her studio albums for the label began with “Runaway Soul” in 2002, followed by “The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster” in 2007, “The Truth According to Ruthie Foster” in 2009, “Let It Burn” in 2012, “Promise of a Brand New Day” in 2014 and “Joy Comes Back” in 2017. Her live shows, which she has referred to as a “hallelujah time,” have been documented on the album “Stages” in 2004, the CD/DVD release “Ruthie Foster Live at Antone’s” in 2011, and 2020’s “Live at the Paramount”, which featured the Ruthie Foster Big Band: a guitarist, keyboardist, bassist and drummer, plus 10 horn players, three backing vocalists and one conductor."

"Tried & true Texan, Music City hitmaker, frontman, and multi-instrumentalist are just a few of the monikers Terry McBride has worn in his decades-long chart-topping career.

A Lampasas, TX native, McBride spent his teenage summers on the road with his dad, the late Dale McBride, who was a recording artist with several Billboard charted singles. Terry traveled as part of his father’s band for three years before moving on to Austin to further pursue his musical career. He became a sought-after bass player in the local scene playing with Texas artists Lee Roy Parnell, Bill Carter & The Blame, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Johnny Duncan, Rosie Flores, as well as a two-year stint with legendary Texas artist, Delbert McClinton.

In 1989, Terry left Austin for Nashville where the songs he had been writing found their way to MCA president Tony Brown, who would later go on to sign Terry to a recording contract with the label. The group McBride & the Ride was formed and would record four albums for MCA over the next five years. The trio racked up several top five singles including “Sacred Ground,” a # 1 single in 1992. McBride received two million air awards for his writing credits for “Just One Night” and “Going Out Of My Mind”. During that time, the band received CMA and ACM nominations for vocal group of the year before disbanding in 1995."

"A GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award-winner, Jon Randall has seemingly done it all over his three-plus decades in the music business, working as a songwriter, guitarist, and critically acclaimed producer with some of the biggest names in country, bluegrass, and Americana. Now, 15 years after the release of his last solo album, Randall is returning to his roots and embracing the full spectrum of his artistry with his extraordinary new collection, Jon Randall.

Despite being written over a span of a decade, the record is a remarkably cohesive body of work, one that showcases Randall’s profound gifts for evocative storytelling and vivid scene setting. Recorded and co-produced with fellow GRAMMY-winner Brandon Bell (Zac Brown, The Highwomen), the album is both lovely and lonesome, beautiful and broken, a collection steeped in the endless horizons of the wide open Texas landscape and all the possibility and isolation that comes with it."

"One of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock over the past 40 years, Texas guitarist Eric Johnson was already a legend before he recorded his first album. By the early ‘80s, many celebrated guitarists were singing the praises of this skinny kid from Austin with the mind-melting chops. Comparisons were made to such guitar heroes as Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix. With the release of his highly-anticipated 1986 solo debut, Tones, the underground guitar legend finally emerged onto the scene fully-formed. It landed him on the cover of Guitar Player magazine, which hailed the album as a “majestic debut,” and earned him his first Grammy nomination for the song “Zap”. With the release of his follow up album, 1990’s platinum-selling Ah Via Musicom, which contained the Grammy Award-winning song “Cliffs of Dover,” Johnson became a bona fide international guitar phenomenon.

The New Age Music Guide once opined that “Eric Johnson plays guitar the way Michelangelo painted ceilings: with a colorful vibrancy that’s more real than life” while Rolling Stone included him in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of the 21st century. A dynamic singer as well as an incredibly gifted guitarist and prolific songwriter, Eric has been featured on the cover of countless guitar magazines around the world while also racking up critical accolades and mega-sales along the way."

"Born in The Woodlands, Texas, Jack Ingram has maintained a reputation for uncompromising, personally charged song craft and energetic, charismatic performances for over 20 years, earning him prominent stature in a prestigious tradition of iconoclastic singer-songwriters.

Jack Ingram is also the new host of Texas Music Scene, the syndicated tv show featuring Texas-based artists in over 80 markets. In 2013, Jack teamed up with actor Matthew McConaughey and University of Texas at Austin football coach Mack Brown to create a fundraiser for their favorite children’s charities, dubbed Mack, Jack & McConaughey. Jack is also a supporter of Texas Songwriters U, Texas Songwriter U (TxSU), an annual songwriting development program consisting of a songwriting competition, educational workshop and showcase event, along with Broadcast Music, Inc (BMI), and The Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Association."

"A singer, composer and actor, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.

Whether touring as a 'Duo' or with his 'Acoustic Group' or his 'Large Band,' Lovett's live performances show not only the breadth of this Texas legend's deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating musicians in popular music.

Since his self-titled debut in 1986, Lyle Lovett has evolved into one of music's most vibrant and iconic performers. Among his many accolades, besides the four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association's inaugural Trailblazer Award, and was named Texas State Musician.

His works, rich and eclectic, are some of the most beloved of any artist working today."
