Dust Devils at Roddy Tree's Lazy Day Canteen

Built around the award-winning, mature songwriting of Kevin Higgins, and representing Texas with their original southern-rockin', genre-ben din' “Farm-to-Market Rock'n'Roll” style of music, The Dust Devils once again state their independence from hype and trends. With the 2007 release of their third album, Change in the Weather, (Little Train Records), the Dust Devils combine diversity with raw talent, allowing them to move about freely on the musical landscape. Add to that the visual and musical advantage of a male and female fronting the band, and you have a winning combination all the way around.

Higgin’s solo CD won “Album of the Year” at the 2000 Hill Country Music Awards. Higgins would go on to become a 2000 Kerrville “New Folk” Finalist later that year, earning the band a spot on the Main Stage at the 2001 Kerrville Folk Festival. Critics have compared Higgins' songwriting to that of Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young, Patterson Hood, and Red Stegall. "...the sound of the South never went away - it just got better with age..." (4-1/2 star review) -(AllMusicGuide.com).

Barbara Malteze,(vocals/keyboards/mandolin), continues to make waves in Texas, as she accepted the honor of "Female Vocalist of the Year" for two years in a row at the 2006 & 2007 Texas Music Awards, a feat of repetition that no other artist has accomplished thus far.

“The newest member of the band, Will Owen Gage, guitarist extraordinaire will be a pleasant surprise for anyone who hasn’t seen them lately. Will is a guitar prodigy that has been blowing audiences away for several years,” says Keith Asbury owner of Lazy Days Canteen.

The fans have been describing The Dust Devils as "the Led Zeppelin of Texas", because the band has a distinct way of "genre bending." They can lay down a hot honky tonk number; a ripping 70's rocker; then a bluegrass groove; scream thru a blues tune; caress a ballad...you never know what to expect with this group. And they do it all with energy, feel, abandon and talent. This is Americana at it's best...no one else is kickin' up dirt this hard, creating the real melting pot that folks call "Texas music."

The date is Saturday, December 5th & the music begins at 9:00 p.m. The cover charge for Saturday’s show is $10 & includes 1^st drink; 17 and under admitted free.

Lazy Days Canteen, located at Roddy Tree Ranch Resort, serves cold Texas and Mexican beer and Texas wine exclusively. It is one mile from the Ingram Dam at Roddy Tree Ranch.

Riven Rock Ranch News

The Terrace Grill. . .a Work in Progress We are pleased and flattered by your continued support of The Terrace Grill. We have installed clear roll downs and are amazed by how comfortable they make it when it's cold and breezy. Another adjustment we've made to further reduce the chill factor is make a solid entrance & door just inside the entrance gates. Chris was able to buy the old courthouse windows from Kerrville and we saved the old beaded board from the Farm House here on the ranch. Incorporating these materials, we've created a charming "wind breaking" entrance that has historical interest. How fun is that? Also, we've made a few small changes to our menu that you can check out on line by clicking Menu. We hope to see you soon! Reservations are suggested, please call the main ranch number: 830-995-4045.

Christmas Dinner '09 at Riven Rock Ranch The nice thing about Thanksgiving being over is that we still have something exciting and cheerful to look forward to. Christmas is coming right up! The "modified" buffet that we tried for Thanksgiving was extremely successful, stress free and easier for everyone; therefore, we will do it the same way for our Christmas dinner. We will have stations (small buffets) for the salads & desserts enabling diners to get their salads as soon as they arrive. The wait staff will then take individual orders for the entrees and as before, seconds for whatever you want more of, are included. When finished with entrées & seconds, diners can get whatever they desire from the dessert station. Everyone seemed to be quite pleased! More Information & the Christmas Menu

Exciting Gala for New Year's Eve!! For the first time ever we are having a New Year's Eve celebration and are planning an exceptional gourmet dinner along with live music. The party will start at 8pm and last until 12:30 New Year's morning with a complimentary champagne toast at midnight. The Grateful Geezers , whom many of you have heard, will be playing for our pleasure. They always get rave reviews and play a large variety of music. First they'll be playing music appropriate for dining and then move on to the dancin' stuff. The clear roll downs will be installed around the large pavilion at The Terrace Grill and there will be plenty of heaters so we will be having our dinner party there. I will be posting the menu on the website as soon as it is finalized-I think by the end of this week. The cost is $95.00 per person, plus tax and gratuity and includes dinner and dancing as well as a complimentary champagne toast at midnight. Wine and beer from our menu will be available for the prices listed. Reservations are required and charges will not incur for cancellations received at least 48 hours (2 whole days) in advance . We thank you for your consideration.
