Hendrix is a true Texas singer-songwriter based in San
Marcos, TX that believes in patients, hard work, and
persistence. Her involvement in the Texas Hill Country
has helped inspire students of all ages, from Elementary
school students to College graduates. Hendrix is an
amazing performer and a great writer. Her story telling
has a certain kind of believability that is natural, and
she can turn on a dime and twist it around where it’s as
unexpected and as funny as anything you could imagine. Maines is not only a great musician but a producer of
many great Texas recordings, including “Home” by the
Dixie Chicks. Maines is best known as a steel player,
but he's also been a producer for almost two decades
now. It seems the prolific Lloyd Maines doesn't waste a
single second of his waking hours -- he's virtually
everywhere and will be at Schreiner University March 12,
2008.

Schreiner University’s Cailloux Activities Center from
7pm – 9pm. Admission is free. THMF will be
celebrating the 33rd Anniversary of Black History Month
and 83rd Anniversary of Black History Week with
 artists LZ Love, Lightning Red, and special guest Clifton Fifer.
LZ Love is a Chicago born, Berkeley raised
singer-songwriter living in Austin, TX. Love began her
career in the mid ‘70’s, becoming a welcome addition to
the roots-music scene. Love’s outstanding voice rival’s
anyone, anywhere and it is no surprise that LZ Love
began her career as a backing vocalist and has already
worked with a diverse range of talents ranging from
Luther Vandross, James Brown and George Benson to Robin
Williams. Love has “got the juice” with an attitude that
sees the world and its multi-faceted components with a
clear focus. Love is poised for great things and her
future is bright. Lightning Red is another Chicago born
“natural” guitar player, with a loose, light technique
that seems almost effortless. Red has an impressive
persona and stage presence, and is a master of both
acoustic and slide guitar. Red’s guitar playing never
fails to impress. Clifton Fifer is a special guest and
Kerrville resident who is no stranger to the Coffeehouse
series. Fifer is known for programs about Black Cowboys,
Buffalo Soldiers, and Native Americans. Fifer presents
Black Cowboy poetry that reflects the sacrifice, hard
work, discipline, dedication, insight and investments of
Black Cowboys into a future that promised a better way
of life. |
