Hey there friends.  I hope this week finds you well.  I am not writing about Songtelling today, nor will I embark on a rambling journey.  I am reaching out to highlight a couple of special shows.  We love the return visits from artists who are dear to us at MSC.  Sometimes it feels like the reunion of two old friends.  We also want to keep it fresh for all of you which means bringing other storied artists for their first time.  We have two of those in the next two weeks.  I am not reaching out to plea or be pushy.  It is just that I do not want the dates to come and go and have one of you music lovers miss out, simply because you were unaware of the event.  I am including links to a couple videos for each artist.

May 23 - Alejandro Escovedo
“There are songwriters who sing their songs, and then there are songs who sing their writers. Alejandro Escovedo is one with his muse and his music. Over a lifetime spent traversing the bridge between words and melody, he has ranged over an emotional depth that embraces all forms of genre and presentation, a resolute voice that weathers the emotional terrain of our lives, its celebrations and despairs, landmines and blindsides and upheavals and beckoning distractions, in search for ultimate release and the healing truth of honesty. Sometimes it takes the form of barely contained rage, the rock of punk amid kneeled feedback; sometimes it caresses and soothes, a whispery harmony riding the air of a nightclub room, removed from amplification, within the audience.”

May 29 – Lee Roy Parnell
“Lee Roy Parnell is part of a long line of Texas roots-music eclectics and is among the elite few who can be identified as a triple threat. An ace guitarist, as well as a distinctive singer, and hit songwriter, his music runs the gamut of diversity. Combining the influences of Blue-Eyed Soul, Delta Blues, Road House Rock, Southern Boogie, Texas Swing, and Gospel, Parnell’s sound defies conventional classification. He draws from a broad range of musical sources and combines them with seamless dexterity and, unlike many other hard-to-pigeonhole artists, Parnell has enjoyed a run of success on the country and blues charts including 7 Billboard Hot Country Top Tens.”
