w/Monkeysoop, Maneaters of Tsavo, Old School 07/29/10
From: Jerry Connor - Monkeysoop
Hi everyone, Monkeysoop’s rolling out the rock on Saturday, July 31 in support of Satantonio’s CD-release at Mine Shaft Saloon / Magic Time Machine 902 NE Loop 410, Ph: 210-828-1470 (map). I’ve been playing drums for the Soop since the beginning of the year and I love it. In addition, I’ve also joined another band called Second Chance as a bassist and backup vocalist. A brand new group, made up of mostly recent transplants with long musical careers from Los Angeles - think Sheryl Crow, Evanescence, Blind Melon, and Crowded House with a dash of harder rock mixed together (90% original tunes). If you get a chance and you’re in the area, please come by and see us jam! Hope you all are having a great summer - stay cool! …Erica

Savannah Jo Lack Album Released July 27
From: Krista Mettler / Skye Media
Indie singer-songwriter-violinist (yes, she plays and sings at the same time) Savannah Jo Lack released her debut solo album, ‘Knitting Songs’, on July 27. The album is available at online digital download portals, and hard copies will be available at shows and via her website Web-site: http://www.savannahjolack.com. A collection of breezy, engaging tunes, woven lovingly with wit and dexterity, and delivered at a mesmerizing, back porch rocking chair pace, Lack describes ‘Knitting Songs’ as, “A little bit red earth and desert sky, a little bit glistening strings and pixie twists.” A fascinating songsmith, Savannah redefines the role of strings in pop music. By substituting older instruments for the macho posturing of electric guitars, she’s unearthed a fresh and spectacular soundscape that bears a timeless affinity with her achingly beautiful, husky, feminine voice.
Lack grew up in Brisbane, Australia, and now splits her time between her homeland and San Francisco. Known to some as a violin soloist, to others as a strings arranger and session musician, and to others as a composer and improv jazz musician, prior to releasing ‘Knitting Songs’, Lack was best known to Australian audiences for her work with indie instrumental group Trinkets, whose two albums earned her critical acclaim as well as a prestigious Golden Fiddle award for “Best Violinist on an Album.”
She has played live throughout Australia, Germany and the USA – performing with acts as diverse as Rod Stewart, Sir Cliff Richard, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra, Budjanova Chamber Players and Women in Docs. Notable shows of her own include USA supports for Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson, as well as major festivals throughout Australia and North America (including the LA Folk Alliance). She’s also been involved (as violinist or arranger) in an array of recordings, including Alanis Morissette’s multi-platinum award-winning album, ‘Flavours of Entanglement’. As a film composer, her credits include the score for 2009 Emmy-nominated documentary ‘Betrayal, The Life & Art of Rudolf Bauer’.
Her music is difficult to categorize – while bearing marks of many genres, it’s not definitively folk, jazz, pop, country or classical fusion – and will appeal to fans of the “Virgin Suicides” score (featuring the French band Air), Nina Simone, Tori Amos, New Buffalo, Trinkets, The Swell Season, Imogen Heap, Cowboy Junkies, Regina Spektor, and Feist. Press has praised Lack’s music, with Folk Wax Magazine calling her playing “almost too beautiful to be believed, her string parts are perfectly layered into a sound that is flat out divine,” while Time Off in Australia called ‘Knitting Songs’ “a defining hour for the already accomplished musician. Intertwining a love for that exquisite organic truth capable only of the violin, with an outright jazzy, and noir-like approach to folk-pop storytelling, the beauty of each tracks snowballs to its climax with a globular, lava-lamp-like warmth and familiarity.” Awaken Music calls her sound “a pure mix of pop, americana, folk, and authenticity that’s lacking in today’s scene,” and Muzik Reviews praises “her enthralling vocal style. She takes thought provoking lyrics that are sometimes dark and biting and softens them up with her beautiful intonations. ...a strong debut for an artist that was more than ready to deliver the goods.”

Texas Music Coalition News Excerpts

2010 TMC ‘Artist Of The Year’ Finalists
Bobby Baker, Katherine Dawn, Laura Marie
Nominations for 2010 TMC Artist of the Year were tallied up and the three finalists were announced at TMC’s June 19 Meet & Greet. They are (in alphabetical order): Bobby Baker, Katherine Dawn and Laura Marie – all highly deserving of the honor! Ballots for finalist voting were available at the Meet & Greet and will be available at TMC events through September. Only TMC members whose dues are current are eligible to vote and all ballots must contain the voter’s name. Members may also mail in their votes to: Texas Music Coalition, TMC Artist of the Year Award, PO Box 120126, San Antonio, TX 78212 or e-mail them to Chair: Mary Lou Hymel E-mail: marylou@thetimandbobshow.com. Deadline for voting has been changed to October 1, with the winner to be announced at the TMC Fundraiser on Sunday, Oct 24. Serving on this year’s Artist of the Year committee are Chair Mary Lou Hymel and The Lavens – all previous winners. Here’s info on our talented finalists:
Bobby Baker
Touring since the early 70s, Bobby Baker has made his mark in almost every town in Texas. He was an announcer for KMAC, KBUC and KISS, from 1970-1976. His willingness to give independent labels and artists a chance to be heard gave notoriety to such acts as Johnny Bush, Bobby Bare, Darrell McCall, Augie Meyers, Johnny Rodriguez, Randy Travis, Charlie Pride, Leon Payne, Slim Roberts, Johnny Lee, George Chambers, Bubba Littrell, Frenchie Burke and a host of others who still remember his name to this day. All of this, and never giving up the call on his own life -- to play and write the best country music on the music scene. He’s been here from the beginning; he’ll be here till the end. Bobby’s band, Bobby Baker and the Longnecks, has a very impressive 30-year track record, providing the best in country music, folk rock, country alternative, standard country, 50s 60s, southern fried country rock and honky-tonk dance favorites. The band is a staple at the San Antonio Conservation Society’s NIOSA (Night In Old San Antone). Bobby Baker is a true Texas legend.
TMC “Rap Sheet”
Bobby Baker serves as TMC Historian this year on the TMC Executive Committee and has served as a willing volunteer for entry table duty at our events. A frequent attendee at TMC programs, he helped represent TMC as part of our delegation to the Texas Music Awards in Palestine, Texas, in 2009. (Last TMC Performance: TMC Fundraiser, Oct. 24, 2009 at Sam’s Burger Joint.)

Katherine Dawn
Katherine Dawn, AKA “Dawn Davis,” of Boerne, Texas, started singing in church, started writing and playing guitar at age nine, started playing for tips in the South Texas bars at thirteen years old. In between being part of the pit crew for her pro race-driving dad, Tommy Davis Jr., she would learn chords and tips about the business from her Uncle Carl Davis, her musical godfather Augie Meyers and all of his buddies at the ranch. In KD’s second band, Cypress, was her hospital nursery “twin,” Clay Meyers. Her music comes from Gospel/blues/country roots, plus rock and roll. She learned her chops on the tour bus with Augie’s crew and “Big Bill” Lister, who taught her about never giving in. To sum it up, KD grew up around Texas Music Royalty. Today she plays acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, 5-string banjo; writes and, produces. And she’s especially excited about her new female super group, the TX LadyBugs, named in memory of her mentor, the late “Big” Bill Lister, whose advice KD acted on to form the new group (using some of the most talented singer/songwriters in the state) and naming it after the nickname Big Bill gave her when she was 13-year old “LadyBug.” Katherine Dawn was a finalist for Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2010 Texas Music Awards in Marshal, Texas, coming off her latest CD, the 2-disk set, “25 in TX,” released in 2009 and produced by Mark Sinko at Salmon Peak Studios.
TMC “Rap Sheet”
Katherine Dawn was a finalist last year for TMC Artist of the Year, has served as a panelist for us on several occasions in the areas of songwriting and publishing, and has performed at many TMC events over the years. You’ll find the TMC logo and links to the TMC website proudly posted on her own sites. (Last TMC Performance: TMC’s 11th Birthday Party Showcase at La Tuna, Sept. 19, 2009.)

Laura Marie
Singer/songwriter Laura Marie was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, where she performed and recorded with local bands Sofa Kingdom and Things Between and did voice over and backing vocal work in a number of local studios. She graduated from St. Mary’s University with a degree in music education and was a grade school choir director before giving in to her compulsive lyric writing habit and becoming a full time musician. Her first full-length solo CD titled, “Drawn,” was released in 2007 and was co-produced by five-time Grammy nominated producer, Mack Damon. Her newest CD, “Last of the Ones,” was also produced my Mack and released earlier this year. Fans are quickly hooked on her own brand of pop-folk songwriting. Her lyrics are both touching and personal. Laura Marie gets to the heart of the matter with a voice somewhat familiar, yet distinctly her own. As a songwriter, she is known for her poignant and striking wordplay, while her smooth vocal style has been described as “smooth as 100 year-old scotch.” Laura Marie’s music has been favorably compared to songwriters Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant, Shawn Colvin and John Mayer. She was recently a finalist for a slot in Lilith Fair 2010 and heads the San Antonio chapter of GoGirls, a group supporting area female artists.
TMC “rap sheet”
Laura Marie was a finalist last year for TMC Artist of the Year, has served as TMC Treasurer and Secretary on our Board of Directors and assisted on other committees. She’s helped out doing entry table duty, provided administrative assistance and performed at numerous TMC events, plus been a songwriting panelist for us and a TMC scholarship judge.

And he’s brother to Jonathan McEuen of the Hannah/McEuen fame. Nathan spent years recording soundtracks with his brother Aaron, for the star shows presented at planetariums before he decided to be a performing singer/songwriter.

The Fireants - Sunday, Aug. 22 (12:30pm-4:30pm)
The Fireants from Austin Texas come down for a last shi-bang before the kids head off to college. One of few high school bands that have the chops to play at the Hall, the band made the most of their high school years studying formal studies during the day and rehearsing and playing with their bluegrass-rock-roots band opening for people like Bob Schneider and Alejandro Escovedo and playing afternoon gigs at the Hall. Now they are graduating, high school and going on to various things, with lead singer Ian Stewart going off to the famed Berklee School of Music. Come on out and give them a big send-off!
Ezra Charles - Sunday, Aug. 22 (5:00pm-9:00pm)
Ezra Charles is Houston’s best-known keyboardist and a great songwriter of boogie-woogie, swing, rockabilly and blues. Famous for having girls in the horn section and flashy piano antics, Ezra has never had his songs be the first thing the audience noticed, but ultimately they have got to be the reason for the band’s remarkable staying power.

Chavez, a student at the North East School Of The Arts (NESA), calls the event “a lot of fun, and a great opportunity for filmmakers. Winning the Audience Award helped me connect with more musicians, and I’ve been able to work with them on other film projects. So I really appreciate TMC’s support in screening my work.”

All submissions must be no more than five (5) minutes in length, and can only be submitted on DVD.

Truly Inspiring Artistry – P!nk - GRAMMY Performance 01/31/10 10:46pm cst - 02/11/10 2:30am
While giving credit to the musical talent of most of the female performers at the 2010 GRAMMYs, it was more like burlesque until P!nk took the stage. Artistry is not just shaking your booty to the music or flashing a coy grin at the appropriate moment, it is taking the music, the words and the performance and melding them into one expression. P!nk succeeded in bringing more than T&A to the GRAMMYs. P!nk brought true artistry and a passion FOR the art. I can only hope she will inspire more artists, male and female, AND labels, to leave the ‘shock and awe’ to the military. Stop blaming the “fans” for the condition of the music industry. “A rotten apple will never be bought by a discerning buyer”. editor@ sambe.org 01/31/10 11:46pm cst

KEDA – 1540AM “Jalapeno Radio”
March 17, 2011 – 45th Anniversary
“The ‘experts’ said when we started on March 17th, 1966 this ‘cantina music playing radio station’ wouldn’t last 3 months”
– Richard Davila 09/08/05
KEDA 1540AM, Radio Jalapeno, as been listening to the community since 1966. On March 18, 2010, Radio Jalapeno will celebrate its 44th Anniversary. As a community oriented radio station, KEDA is an anomaly in the world of broadcasting, where growth is determined by the size of the merger. A local station in every sense of the word, KEDA listens to the listeners. No computer generated play list here. A singular feature of KEDA is the Jalapeno Jukebox which takes requests from 12:00noon till 1:00pm. More than once, listeners have requested a song in an attempted to stump the DJ, only to be surprised by the expanse of the record bin. Manual Gonzales Davila believed in the words that are on every FCC license where it says “in service to the community. His efforts, continued by his son Ricardo have made KEDA “Jalapeno Radio” a “parte de tu familia”, part of the family for generations of San Antonio families. Bilingual Conjunto and more where the listener is always heard.

How does listening KEDA affect your life?
“It makes me think of my grandparents…” Mike M. <> “Chinga Chinga music that makes you want to dance.”…Joe V.
“It remind me of the times I spent with my dad.”…Elsa D.
Many artists/musicians that are now “making it” always thank KEDA for giving them the opportunity to play their music when they were “unknowns”. That’s something that KEDA is known for - “They make the hits, not PLAY the hits” …Chayo Z.
