2011 Line-up

For the festival-goer who is looking to enjoy a full pint of specially selected craft beers from Duff Distributing, the Duff Beer Garden provides an energetic retreat with an incredible lineup of Texas-based artists! The Silver Eagle Stage will serve up a healthy lineup featuring Houston's very own modern folk country bands!

 

Headliners Robert Ellis and the Boys belt out a classic country sound that ignite the audience to into fits of dancingthat include two-stepping and spinning your partner round and round. Robert Ellis is the consummate Country and Western singer songwriter. In the past 2 years, he has achieved more than many aspire for in a lifetime. After releasing his critically acclaimed debut album The Great Re Arranger, Ellis has built a rabidly loyal fan base, received rave reviews throughout the country, and built a concrete reputation for impeccable live performances. This nascent artist is the rare example of masterful technical prowess and utterly genuine heart and soul. His song craft is both irrefutably Country while transcendent enough to have appeal outside of any specific genre. Ellis is currently in production for his much anticipated follow up album.

 

Mason Lankford and the Folk Family Revival, quickly becoming known as one of the hottest new bands in Texas music, will take the stage with a blend of heartfelt folk, true Texas country, and a rock and roll attitude. The boys pull in the listener with a fresh take on a time honored tradition! They recently released a live EP and will be working on a full length album this fall.

 

The gorgeous and talented Stefanie King will help kick off the day's lineup and is a show not to be missed! New to the Texas Country music scene, the Brandon Matthew Band brings a unique sound with their rock-inspired blues guitar riffs. Their high-energy and hip-shaking performance will include unheard songs from their soon to be released album! And of course, no festival would be complete without the hits everyone loves to sing along to echoing off the turntables from Hi-Fidelity Mobile DJ Service.
