NB House Concerts Special Event


NB House Concerts invites you to come spend Sunday afternoon, August 3rd from 5:00 to 8:00pm at a special appearance of Shake Russell and his band. If you're one of the people who has never heard him, you've surely heard songs he's written such as "Put Yourself in My Shoes" co-written with Clint Black, along with many, many others. Shake's had a song go up into Space with the Astronauts (Deep in the West), composed a theme song for a PBS travel series called "Traveling Texas" and has even written a theme song about the San Marcos River (River of Innocence). We are so lucky in Texas that Shake has decided to continue to work the road, playing hundreds of gigs a year and carrying on the tradition of the troubadour singer-songwriter. Touring with fellow veteran musicians, Doug Floyd on mandolin and Mike Roberts on bass, you're sure to enjoy getting a chance to hear this group up close and personal.

In addition to the music, you will also get to meet Daniel Boone, retired Air Force Lt. Colonel, who is running for Texas House District 73. Dan is passionate about the preservation of the Hill Country and its water resources, citizen input into issues such as toll roads and the proposed loop, and public education.

There is a suggested cash donation of $15/person collected on behalf of the performers. 100% of this donation goes directly to the performers. For information, reservations and directions, call 830-625-0859. Attendance is limited so reservations are highly recommended (but are not required).

For those new to the house concert concept, we provide a quiet listening environment in our private home where you are can join Shake, Doug, Mike and Dan in a gathering as friends and guests and enjoy live acoustic music, fellowship, and food. There will be two sets of music with a potluck dinner between the sets. Just bring something to add to the potluck. Coffee, iced tea, plates, tea, etc. are provided by the host. Doors open at 4:30pm.
