Texas Music Coffeehouse Series continues October 7
The McKay Brothers and Brennen Leigh will be the featured performers
Wednesday, Oct. 7 for the
Texas Music Coffeehouse Series at Schreiner University. The
program is a tribute to Texas music month and will be from 7-9
p.m. at the Floyd & Kathleen Cailloux Campus Activity Center
Lion’s Den on the Schreiner campus.
Of the McKay Brothers, the New York Times said, “Their authenticity
is as welcome as a drive down a lonely road in a dusty pickup.” The
McKay Brothers, fifth generation Texans, grew up in the hills of
Bandera County and music became an inescapable part of their early
lives.
In a few short years, Austin-based performer Leigh—alongside brother
Seth Hulbert—has firmly established herself as one of the Lone Star
State's premiere singers and songwriters.
November 4 is the last coffeehouse of the fall semester and
will feature Patricia Vonne.
The Texas Music Coffeehouse Series is co-sponsored by Schreiner
University, the Texas Heritage Music Foundation, the Center for
Innovative Learning and the Student Activities Board. Held once a
month the first three months in each semester, the event provides a
space for writers, musicians and artists to showcase their work at
an open mike.
It is free and open to the public.
For more information, please contact Dr. Kathleen Hudson, director
of Texas Heritage Music Foundation and professor of English at
Schreiner,
