He is an eight-time award-winner as “Best Vocalist” at the annual Austin Music Awards (last awarded in 2015). In 1994, he helped form and fronted the Texas supergroup, Storyville, with guitarists David Holt, David Grissom, and the rhythm section from Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble, which included bassist Tommy Shannon, and drummer Chris Layton.

Whiskey & West is an acoustic duo covering crowd-pleasing songs that everybody can sing along to from the 1960s to the 2010s. Bill Weske (vocals, guitar, & harmonica) and Eric West (vocals & guitar) became friends through their community involvement in Wichita Falls. They later discovered they love the same kind of music after they kept running into one another playing solo gigs in the Downtown area. With a heavy emphasis on harmonies, Whiskey & West features songs from Credence, Eagles, The Beatles, Tom Petty, The Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, and many more.

Hellen Bach: The band got its name from the phrase, “To Hell and back,” but “Bach” sounds more distinguished. Two of the original members have been doing this since 2005 (Chris and Larissa- who joined at age 17). Randy, another original member, returned as the guitarist as of 2019. Now we also have Shane, the man with a major case of “bass face” all the time, on bass. We play a myriad of rock that ranges from the classics up to today’s hits. Basically, we play whatever we want and we love it! Every song we perform has a unique Hellen Bach sound and we never take ourselves too seriously.

Tickets for this show will be $15.00 online in advance and $20 the day of the show at the door.

Erik Chandler is a singer/songwriter with over 30 years experience in the music industry, the multi-instrumentalist was a founding member of Grammy nominated Pop-Punk Veterans Bowling For Soup. After almost 25 years, Chandler parted ways with the band in 2019. With full intentions of taking some well deserved time for rest and reflection, it was not long before he began writing again, in search of a musical direction he left behind many years ago. Born and raised in Henrietta, Tx, the self proclaimed “small town misfit” spent the bulk of his career living in Denton, TX, Columbia, SC, and Dallas Tx. All the while, making his second home in the spotlight on stages all across the globe. Currently, Chandler resides in Chattanooga, TN in the foothills of Appalachia. After finally finding a permanent studio space of his own, he spent the majority of the “Covid Lockdown” defining, and refining a sound that feels true to himself. While recording songs from his new body of work, Erik took the time in the summer of 2022 to re-record an EP’s worth of previously released material from his 2016 Erik Chandler Band album THE TRUTH. Finally in the driver’s seat as producer and artist, the new recordings reveal a long time love of time honored recording techniques. Released in November ’22, The Naked Truth was conceived to make a distinction between himself and much of the major label, “copy and paste” ProTools slickness that is offered up today. While there are many electric instruments present, Chandler chose to forgo the use of electric guitars to keep in touch with the 18 months or so he spent using only his favorite Taylor acoustic. “It wasn’t done to be gimmicky, or to try to resurrect some sort of acoustic renaissance. I just found it a good way to present the songs in a new light. There is plenty of electricity on the record. Organ, mellotron, bass. It was just a way to bring these songs forward with me. Closer to the direction I’m headed now.” A full length album of new material, tentatively titled Haint Blues is slated for release later in 2023. With its own particular type of Americana, Chandler is eager to showcase his growth as a writer, artist, and producer. When asked to give a final word describing his new direction, Chandler defaults to friend and music critic Travis Randall (former contributor for SPIKE TV), ”It’s well rounded and honest. Sincere and Southern. You can tell it’s the music that he is happy to be making.”

Tickets for this show will be 7 online in advance and $10 the day of the show and at the door.
