JEFF FRAZIER -Eclectic, unique, charming, funny, disarming...  This New Braunfels resident jets off often to the Gallapagos Islands where he gathered some interesting and highly talented characters to produce the first recorded music compilation for the area.  Jeff is hoping to find similar talents in the Texas Hill Country for a unique production that blends the old dance sounds of Texas Honky Tonks with a dash of unique island flavor.  Jeff Frazier is a musical experience that must not be missed.

He’s played the Grand Ole Opry twice, and opened shows for such acts as Diamond Rio, Trisha Yearwood,
Bryan White, Kenny Rogers, and Vince Gill, to name a few but that hardly tells you what kind of performer Derek Spence really is.  Derek Spence brings a clear, fresh voiced  interpretation to country music. 

He has that squeaky clean, awe shucks, wholesome looks and character of an era we thought was lost forever.  There are people that sing and there are singers that draw you into their song…tell you their story so that you see it…believe it.  That is the kind of performer Derek Spence is.  His soul shines through his music and makes you smile.

MARK MONACO - www.markmonaco.com

Lyrically Mark paints portraits of relationships, his emotions and drives you in a pickup truck on a journey clear across Texas to the streets of Hollywood. It takes guts to keep the production on a record simple, bare bones, with great vocals and a good band and let the songs speak for themselves. He accomplished that in spades. Guts! What else do you expect from a young guy from Texas? See you on the road Mark.

-Tony Kaye (of the rock group YES) 

Over the last twelve years, Mark has shared the stage with the likes of Jimmie Vaughan, Cory Morrow, Shelly Larez, and Sisters Morales, and has played dozens of venues in Texas and Tennessee. Mark has also recorded with Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated engineers Chet Himes (Christopher Cross) and Eric Paul (Townes Van Zant).
Mark softly whispers a broken hearted tune and then revs your engine as you race down a musical highway - The American Highway...  It's definitely a Texas sized music ride with Mark Monaco.
