Lone Star Drifters: Lone Star Drifters have been a fixture on the Texas Gulf Coast honky tonk scene since 2006. Earning everything they have has been a way of life for the band as they take pride in perfecting their musical talents in honky tonks and dancehalls. From the early days of acoustic performances to main stage concerts on Saturday nights, the band has never passed an opportunity to do what they love on stage for any audience. With outstanding vocal harmonies and honest songwriting, the band pays homage to the "Golden Age" of country giving the sound of the Texas honky tonk scene a new variation of vocal prowess.

Friday: 9pm

JB and the Moonshine Band: Some might say the four-piece JB and the Moonshine Band was born the day JB Patterson looked up to see that only three musicians had shown up at his open- call audition in his Tyler, Texas, hometown. Fortunately, Gabe Guevara (drums), Hayden McMullen (lead guitar) and Chris Flores (bass guitar) turned out to be the right three and, after a brief musical and personal get-to-know-you session, everyone realized the stars had aligned to bring them together.

Friday: 11:30

Mike Amabile & Run Over Twice : Mike Amabile offers a unique sound for all genres of music lovers. He blends his own style of Americana music with Southern Rock, Folk, Country and Roots Blues. This original style of music is accompanied by poetic lyrics. In fact, Mike started writing poetry as early as eleven years old. Mike's music has been compared to artists such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers. The ability to be diverse is what sets Amabile apart from other artists in the Texas circuit. The fact that he can play country, blues, rock and anything in between allows him to perform at a large variety of venues. Listen to any of Mike's recordings, and you will see for yourself just how diverse the music is.

Saturday: 7pm

Horseshoe and Hand Grenades :In December 2010, Nate Vancil and Kevin Garinger shared a case of Miller High Life. Nate extended an invite to Kevin to join him at his weekly gig on 6th Street in Austin, TX.
A few weeks later, KG joined Nate on the back patio stage at Shakespeare's for what would become a weekly Thursday night jam.
At first they were known as "Every Thursday." Soon they started playing every night of the week and thus, "Horseshoes & Hand Grenades" was born.

Saturday: 8pm
