Gary P. Nunn
GARY P. NUNN As a founding father of the progressive country music scene in Austin, Texas, in the 1970s, Gary P. Nunn helped change the face of popular music. With a career spanning half a century – and no plans for stopping anytime soon – Nunn is a proud ambassador for the State of Texas, singing about his love of everything Texas in dance halls around the state and on concert stages around the world. His extraordinary gifts as a prolific songwriter and performer have established Gary P. Nunn as an icon of Lone Star music and earned him the respect of his peers and the admiration of countless country music fans worldwide. Garth Brooks called Nunn “a quintessential Austin troubadour” when talking about episodes in the Austin City Limits archives that were “like my childhood” by formative influences that included Nunn, Merle Haggard, Townes Van Zandt and Jerry Jeff Walker. It’s no wonder that All Music Guide hails him as “a Texas music institution.” Gary P. Nunn’s signature Texas country song, “London Homesick Blues,” was a breakout hit on Jerry Jeff Walker’s landmark ¡Viva Terlingua! Album, selling over one million copies, and became an anthem for the State of Texas with its internationally known “I wanna go home with the Armadillo” chorus. It was the theme for the PBS concert TV show Austin City Limits for nearly three decades.

KAT HASTY w/ Special Guest Tristan Graves
The great Bob Dylan once said, “you don’t just wake up one day and decide you need to write songs.” This quote rings true for the up and comer, Kat Hasty. As a child, before she knew how to put words on paper, she was singing and writing music. Born and raised in west Texas, her upbringing pours through her songwriting in tales of desert highways and the hustle and bustle of oil towns. Laced with heartache, joy, loss and female angst, her songs are ingenious and uniquely her own. The songwriter released her first EP, “Drowning in Dreams” in 2020. Her single, “Pretty Things” quickly rose in popularity and has taken her and her band all over the country. In her own words, “the show is a little more rock and roll than the stripped down acoustic stuff. We like to have fun.” With a new album set to release in May, this up and comer is sure to take wind this year.
