CONCERT
From its earliest days, YesterYear has played host to a variety of performers. From the years of the Street Dance held in the Austin Bank parking plaza to the City Park's amphitheater and concert dance pad to expanding to accommodate thousands at the football field. Headlining this year's concert is Zona Jones. He has spent a decade gathering experience and fans in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana. He is the latest in a long line of sterling singers who have graduated from regional stardom in that area to national prominence. Zona is proud of his Southeast Texas roots. "It is a real honor for me to be one of the Beaumont Boys," he says. Zona is currently in the studio working on his next CD, his first release was Harleys and Horses. www.zonajones.com Something to Believe In makes a fitting title for the debut Compadre Records release from Honeybrowne. The Austin-based band has a knack for transforming listeners into believers in much the same way that a love of music led hardcore fan Fred Andrews, Honeybrowne's singer and primary songwriter, into stepping on stage and eventually leading one of the fastest-rising acts on the Texas music circuit.
www.honeybrowne.net Two years and 200,000 miles might change most men, but neither the time nor the miles have really changed Todd Fritsch; he is still the down-to-earth, two-stepping, cattle ranching cowboy who burst onto the country music scene in 2005. There are a few differences though. Todd really "owns" his vocals now. His band has gelled and his stage show is tighter, and he is writing more of his own material. Sawdust, Todd's second CD for Diamond Music Group/Spinville, proves that there is a man with a heart the size of Texas, and a voice to match, standing tall underneath that hat.
"Red Dirt never tasted this good." Rock-n-roll collides with greasy country on the front lines of modern, musical revolution that is taking place down "south" in the Lone Star state. Get ready. Had enough "poppy" countr y that comes out of Music City? Here's your answer. Adam Fears, from Whitehouse, is no stranger to the game he's playing. He earned his stripes on stages all over Texas during his tenure at Texas A&M University playing with his best friends, the former "Brazos Valley with some of the greatest entertainers the business has to offer. With his first album, Where They Left Off, and his degree from TAMU in the pocket of his jeans, Adam is busy writing songs for Faverett Records and waiting to hear his newest release on the air waves. His first radio single, You Get Me, the title track of his new CD of the same name, is set to release on country radio stations across Texas on July 9.
