JOIN US FOR FREE LIVE MUSIC WITH SIERRA GANT!

Sierra was born in Waco, Texas & grew up in the Houston suburb of Spring.  It was apparent almost from the very beginning that she had a special love for music, but she was also painfully shy.  It took the support of her maternal grandmother Rose, who recognized that she had a naturally beautiful singing voice, to push through the fear & follow her older sister into community theatre.  After a few productions, she found her footing & continued to perform throughout her middle school years.

The Houston, TX native started playing the local Texas Opry at the tender age of 11 while traveling around Texas as part of the Texas Showcase Singers & supporting local Radio Disney events. After making it to the finals of the “Best Country Singer in Houston” contest, she grabbed the attention of one of the judges who happened to be a local producer.  Despite not winning the contest, he gave her recording time. Throughout middle school she would go on to be his in-house demo singer in exchange for the opportunity to do her own recordings.

Once she realized that there was more to music than just singing, she found a strong desire to learn everything she could about the songwriting process and the songwriters behind her favorite songs.  She bought her first guitar at 17 with money she had earned recording demos & playing gigs. Around this time Sierra was invited to attend a songwriting industry camp, where she had the opportunity to hone her songwriting and recording skills with the support of music industry veterans. This was a transformative experience & planted the feeling that there were worlds more that she could learn from doing than she ever could from studying it in a textbook.  After being selected to join the commercial voice program at Belmont University, she made the very difficult decision not to attend her dream school and instead spent the next year and a half working and saving all of her money in order to move to Music City to learn from seasoned songwriters.

No matter what else was happening in her life, Sierra has returned to Texas every summer to teach a summer musical theatre camp with her mother & sister.  Since her experience with the music industry camp, she has been committed to do her part to pass on what she’s learned to those who are following the same path.  Along the way, Sierra has built an amazing network of friends & supporters who have gone above & beyond to keep her on target.

Please join us for a free live music event with Jes Schneider!

About:

Jes Schneider is a singer/songwriter, guitarist, and producer from Houston, Texas. Through songs that resonate from his soul, Jes reveals his passion, love, and desire for music through his self written tunes combining elements of rock, blues, country, and folk with his powerful vocals.

Born in 1991 at Spring Branch Hospital in Houston, Texas, Jes became immediately drawn to the art of music and the different ways each musical artists could choose to express themself. At the age of 5, Jes relocated with his mother to Calabasas, California and became influenced early on by artists like the hard hitting Metallica, the smooth and poppy Goo Goo Dolls; as well as guitar legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, and the up and coming John Mayer. After watching his friends play in the school band at Oaks Christian Middle School, Jes decided to use his birthday money and purchase his first guitar at the age of 11. Shortly following his guitar purchase, Jes and his mother relocated back to his hometown of Houston where he decided to join the middle school chapel band at Clay Road Baptist.

Jes formed his first band in 2010 at the University of Houston with his college roommate, Joseph Reynolds, under the name Jester’s Reign (later renamed Kid Colt Outlaw). After about a year and a half the band split up and Jes began pursuing a solo career. In 2012, Jes wrote his first solo song, Alabama Running. “That’s the song that really changed everything for me, it was a completely new direction of music and style that represented myself, my energy, and my values.” says Jes. From there, Jes struggled to find his way, bouncing around and emerging himself here and there, but he felt like he had very little connection and eventually moved from town to town trying to find his artistic footing.

Please join us for free live music with Gus Clark!

About: At the tender age of eighteen, the Seattle-born crooner Gus Clark hit out to explore the United States with a backpack and a mandolin, cutting his teeth playing on the street and traveling by freight train or the kindness of those still bold enough to pick up a hitchhiker. Emerging over ten years later as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist (guitar, accordion, mandolin, and more), he now pays beautiful homage to an ultra-deep well of golden-era American music traditions, ranging from pre-WWII blues to 1960s Nashville honky tonk. In a voice that combines unique sincerity with pitch-perfect emotive richness, Clark delivers classic barn-burners, good-time dance tunes, bittersweet heartbreak ballads, and his own originals. His remarkable tenor and powerful musical presence are guaranteed to both wrench hearts and propel listeners onto the dance floor, whether Clark performs solo or backed by his rock-solid band.

Over the years, Clark has proved himself as a staple of the Seattle music scene, frequenting the area’s renowned country dance bars and Americana venues and lighting up its largest festivals with a range of projects. A regular guest vocalist at tribute nights and charity events, he’s shared the stage with contemporary greats and up-and-comers such as Charlie Crockett, Pokey LaFarge, Eilen Jewell, Cactus Blossoms, Jeremy Pinnell, Whitney Rose, Easy Leaves, and Jaime Wyatt. He’s a regular touring member of the outlaw party-country band Country Lips, contributing on accordion, vocals, and mandolin. For a decade now, Clark has also made music – an unmatchable mix of early jazz, jug-band, country, blues, old-time, Cajun, klezmer and originals – with his “musical sibling,” the Virginia-raised fiddle virtuoso and singer/songwriter Annie Ford. The dynamic duo’s sweet harmonies have won hearts in humble living rooms, on street corners, on the grand stages of old vaudeville theaters, and far beyond.
