“I believe in the Healin' Powers of a Honkytonk!” That is a statement Derryl Perry not only takes to heart, but also proclaims lyrically in one of his songs. This axiom is ingrained in the Texas culture where he was born and raised, and is the essence of every dance floor in the state.

His appreciation for music made during his two favorite eras, the steamy “Urban Cowboy” days and the prolific “90's country” explosion, inspires his songwriting and performing, and deeply connects those with dancehall in their blood.

Dogs For Senate is a new project from Dallas musicians Anthony Stroud and Nick Roels. The duo released their first self-produced EP, The Apartment Tapes in December 2019, and have been writing and performing together ever since.

Jason Elmore is uncommonly seamless in his ability to tailor his performance to suit the venue and demographic, without compromising the integrity of the band’s mission, which is to give 110% with every single performance, whether performing for a crowd of 2 or 2,000.

Brian Lambert is the artist who never stops creating, a man of mystery whose music transcends boundaries. Based in Denton, Texas, Brian's musical creations are not confined to any one region; they resonate with a global rock perspective. 

His sound is a harmonious blend of rock from the 80's and 90's, infused with a contemporary edge. It's music that invites listeners to dance and sing along, while also prompting introspection on life's profound moments. 

A testament to his dedication and prowess is The 52 Week Music Production Challenge, where Brian unveiled a fully produced track every week for a year. This endeavor not only highlighted his exceptional skills as a songwriter and musician but also his unwavering commitment to the art of music. 

Beyond his solo ventures, Brian is the lead vocalist for the alt-rock band, The Star Crumbles. With musical mastermind Marc Schuster, their sound, deeply rooted in 80's new wave, is refreshingly modern. With Brian's compelling vocals and the band's dynamic energy, The Star Crumbles is making significant waves in the music industry. 

Brian Lambert's magnetic stage presence combined with his relentless passion for music makes him a standout artist. Whether he's performing solo or alongside his band, his tunes have the innate ability to elevate and motivate, solidifying his position as a rock and roll luminary for today's world.

Ariana Ortiz-

“She ain’t the lady kind but she drinks seven dollar wine.” A lyric from her first upcoming single. “She Ain’t The Lady Kind”, is due to be released sometime in the next year. This is the perfect line to represent the women under the two dollar bill, which can only be seen slightly under one of those feathered hats she is infamously known for wearing. An homage to her Grandpa Fuzzy Wuzzy, who is mentioned in dedication in a song called “My Bloodline”.

Ariana Ortiz is a singer-songwriter out of Little Elm, Texas who has spent the past 10 years soaking up the Texas Country Music Scene like a sponge. 

Her unique style of storytelling paints you pictures of her stories and lies with no real distinction of the two, leaving you to wonder, at the end of her shows, if she is actually “The Lady Kind”, a women named “Georgiana” from the 1940’s, or just a “Pretty Hot Mess”, as her koozies say.

This “Whiskey Woman” can make you fall in love, order three drinks at last call, “Reflect”, talk to the “Man on the Moon”, write your “Bucket List”, or find yourself taking a trip to the Hill Country to get a “River Drink” with her clear vocal precision. I would definitely recommend catching a show of hers but be prepared to go on a roller coaster ride of emotions.
