“Phoenix Hart is a charismatic performer – whether solo, accompanying herself on guitar, or with a band. She has been inspired by some of her favorite artists – Sheryl Crow, Natalie Merchant, KT Tunstall and Rachel Yamagata – but there is no mistaking her own unique style.” Catch singer/songwriter Phoenix on this weekend’s episode of Troubadour, TX!

Cary Cooper: “Jimmy Stewart” It’s a wonder that I never tried to marry Jimmy Stewart / just so he’d lasso me the moon / always been a little too romantic / get my hopes up get my heart broke way too soonLife’s never quite as happy as they make it in the movies / even though I wish it were that way / Don’t you ever want to ride off in the sunset / a girl can dream / that’s all I’m tryin’ to say

“I remember meeting Chacho and Brance about a year ago in San Antonio.  With just one song, they brought an energy to the stage that ignited hand clapping and foot stomping from most of the audience.  They use a guitar, harmonica -  even a piece of wood - to create music that’s been described as “soulfolk” – a style they say is inspired by virtually all genres of music – and their love of literature.  This duo has been performing together since meeting in college ten years ago.  Now they’ve both earned Master’s Degrees, and just released their first CD.” -Stacy Dean Campbell, Troubadour, TX Watch them, along with 8 other artist showcases, this weekend on Troubadour, TX.
