Velvet Love Box features three veteran musicians from the North Texas area: percussionist/vocalist Brandon Bumpas, guitarist/vocalist Scot Cloud, and vocalist/bassist Neil Schnell. The band formed at Bronco’s Sports Bar in 1997, where they still perform every Thursday night, and over the past fifteen years they have continued to blur the line between “cover” and “original”, creating a niche for themselves. In early 2002 VLB recorded their first EP, “Pilot,” for Texas indie label Aaron Ave. Records. In 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 Velvet Love Box was voted Best Cover Band by the readers of Fort Worth Weekly!

Husband and wife team Griff and Laura Hamlin are the leaders of Billboard Music’s Top 10 recording artist Griff Hamlin and The Single Barrel Blues Band.  Branching out and performing as an acoustic duo is something they have been wanting to do for quite sometime, and living in a town like McKinney, Texas seemed like the perfect place to start.  Their unique combination of Griff’s incredible guitar and vocal skills along with Laura’s versatility on both saxophone and percussion, allow them to entertain the audience with a huge variety of songs most duos shy away from.  80s, 90s, latin, country, disco, blues, current artists…it’s all there and presented in a way only professional musicians can. So put on your dancing shoes and get ready to have some fun, because Acoustic Mayhem is in the house!

“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.

Based out of Dallas, TX, Jason Elmore is an original high-energy artist that blends hard-hitting rock, jump/swing blues, vintage soul/r&b, and traces of 60’s country into a unique-but-familiar sound that maintains the essence of American roots music while simultaneously offering a fresh take on its various genres and sounds.

Tapping your toes and singing along…songs that take you back to places that make you smile. As a solo acoustic artist and founding member of The Acoustic Jukebox, Bruce LaBarge performs a show that’s comfort food for your ears.  Old School Country to Easy Listening to Pop Rock translates into favorites you haven’t heard in a while from the likes of George Strait, The Eagles and Eric Clapton.

Watch for Bruce to be playing venues around North Dallas.  Don’t be shy about asking “I love that song…who did that one?”  He’s used to it!  With Midwestern roots and a college bar band pedigree, Bruce came to Texas as quickly as he could, and has been a part of our local music scene for 20 years.

Hula had a strong desire for music at an early age! He prefers writing songs more than covering others' material. Hula had a very wide range of influences: Beatles, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Beach Boys, Chicago, Led Zeppelin, Pat Travers, ZZ Top - just to name a few. However he always leans towards being a rocker! He put together a Texas Rock Band known as Bad Boy Blues and The Hulagans, both all original material rocking blues bands. He won the North Texas Blues Challenge in 2018 as a solo artist, and continues to write and play his own blend of rhythm and Blues!
