The Drifters feat. Kamica King

7:30PM - Kamica King

Kamica King is a Dallas-based singer-songwriter whose radiant stage presence and folk/soul sound influenced by jazz and her Afro-Caribbean roots, captivates audiences worldwide. A gifted storyteller who centers reflection and healing, her voice & lyrics touch the heart and explore the human experience, creating authentic connections with and among listeners. Kamica has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the world including Carnegie Hall (NY) and Queen's Hall (Trinidad). She has toured internationally, served as a U.S. Cultural Ambassador, and has been featured by TEDx, the Kennedy Center (Arts Across America), and Kerrville Folk Festival.

8:30PM - The Drifters

There's a very good reason that Rolling Stone magazine, in their iconic issue "500 Greatest Rock and Roll Performers" said of the Drifters "No group has done it this well for this long–no one, not even the Rolling Stones." That's quite a accolade to live up to but hopefully, on their latest tour, the Drifters will once again prove Rolling Stone to be the sage of rock and roll. Because, once again, the Drifters are on tour with a lineup of super talent revolving around performers who have had between them, over a century of making and recording the most meaningful songs in Rock and Roll.

There are many "firsts" for the Drifters; they were the first group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with fellow inductees The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Supremes. Just reflect for a moment if you will, on that class of Rock and Roll stars that the Drifters were an integral part of.

William Clark Green feat. Carson Jeffrey & Shelby Stone

6:00PM - Shelby Stone

7:00PM - Carson Jeffrey

Singer-songwriter Carson Jeffrey is a true cowboy at heart, balancing his life between ranching and music. By day, he's a rancher in Cat Spring, Texas, building barns, fixing fences, and roping calves. But come the weekend, he hits the road as a full-time musician, playing over 100 shows a year across the South, regularly selling out venues like The Tap in College Station and The Blue Light in Lubbock.
A 25-year-old Texas A&M grad, Carson will release his third album, Fair Weather Cowboy, on November 18, 2022. The ten-track record offers an intimate look into his world, touching on themes of growth, loneliness, and letting loose. Fans can get a taste of the album with his current single, "Cow Pissin," available now on all streaming platforms.

8:30PM - William Clark Green

William Clark Green has carved out a unique space in the Texas-country scene over nearly 15 years, blending gritty vocals and a mix of country-rock that's both nostalgic and forward-thinking. After years of success, including multiple chart-topping albums, Green felt the need to push beyond his comfort zone.

His sixth album, Baker Hotel, marks a creative leap, combining '80s pop, rock, and Western ballads. Inspired by the historic Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas, it captures themes of self-reflection and growth, born from the challenges of touring, the pandemic, and creative reinvention. Tracks like "Feel Alive" embrace optimism, while "Getting Drunk" and "Leave Me Alone" delve into deeper emotions. With humor and heart, Green explores evolution—personally and musically—creating a bold step forward in his career.
