“Her extraordinary songwriting along with the organic and grassroots way she approaches her career has created a personal connection with fans…, a full-bodied musical experience that in many ways is reminiscent of some of those peak Rosanne Cash records from the 80s that were produced by Rodney Crowell—Seven Year Ache and the like…, the music isn’t as concerned about being country as it is about being emblematic and respectful to the sentiments found in the writing.

Micky Braun first climbed on stage to join his father’s family band at about five-years-old; they played on the Jay Leno Show and Micky has never stopped. Micky left home for Austin w/brother Gary and started Micky & The Motorcars, a nationally-touring favorite whose nonstop efforts has helped shape Austin’s roots-rock resurgence. Micky has often written with Jeff Crosby -- “Thank My Mother’s God” is a song Jeff brought him. “It’s a storyline based on a person that never could find his place in religion because of the demons and addictions he has wrestled with …, knowing that someone has been watching after him through his trials and tribulations.”

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND -- For the Song's 1st returning touring Artist, John Elliott made us laugh and cry LAST November. So many of the 211 attendees asked for a repeat performance, we HAD to do it....

“Elliott’s songs will take you on an emotional roller coaster. He brilliantly describes the raw realities of his unique perspectives of life. The passion behind his voice and his words makes you feel as if you are a character in his story.

John Elliott’s songs appeared on the television shows 'Grey’s Anatomy,' 'One-Tree Hill' and 'Californication.' Humor is just part of John’s nature, it is in no way a coping method of dealing with the downsides of being a musician. Sharing your creation with the world comes with the territory...."

-- Austin Chronicle

Joining will be Reno’s own Spike McGuire, Loud as Folk Founder and touring troubador!

GRAMMY NOMINATED SINGER & SONGWRITER

with Reno's own: Jellybread!

“A jack-of-all-trades is too cheap a title for the sought-after songsmith. Having written for Christina Aguilera, Michael Franti, Brett Young—including his double-platinum hit “Mercy”—Tim McGraw and Brothers Osborne, versatility is at the epicenter of his artistry.

When writing for others, McConnell specializes in the care required to share their stories by listening to their ideas and living in their world for apt access into their mind. It’s a different approach for his own artistry. Even before he puts pen to paper, McConnell has a sixth sense about the song. The feeling is guided by an emerging thread he slowly begins to conceptualize, either topically or sonically, that informs the artist it’s time for a record. ”

“The music of The Wilder Blue conveys a mood, an idea, and a philosophical approach to life that transcends simple entertainment from audible noises.
