Saturday Music Lineup.

Briana Adams

11:30 AM – 1: 00 PM

She’s not exactly a rebel, but with her musical mashup of Waylon, Skynyrd, and Janis Joplin, you could be forgiven for thinking she is. In reality, Texas/ songwriter Briana Adams is a sweet-natured Southern crooner that really just wants to share her music with the world.

Her songs are a honky-tonk trip of classic dancehall and 70’s outlaw country rolled into a tight-knit package, all headlined by a big Texas voice! For the last 12 years, Briana has been touring all over Texas. She has opened for some Texas Country/Red Dirt greats along the way too! Including: The Bellamy Brothers, Randy Rogers Band, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, & Charlie Robison.

Dry County Band

1:30 PM – 3:00 PM

Dry County has been filling Texas dance floors since 2018. Country music is in their blood with influences from Waylon, Willie, George and Merle. You will find them at home in small honky-tonks, historic dance halls and larger stages such as Austin Rodeo. No matter where, if Dry Country is there, you can count on a good time dancing to your favorite country songs.

Just Hannah

3:30 PM – 5:00 PM

Arizona native turned Texan songstress! Hannah’s grandmother still sings in her church and her uncle was a rock and roller in San Francisco in the 60’sfrom the two, JustHannah’s style was born.

Blues, Americana, Rock and anything else it takes to lift and inspire the human soul. We have been able to enjoy JustHannah performing locally at The Rising Sun Vineyard, Lightnin’ Bar and Music in the Park.

WHAT I

Like

ABOUT JUNETEENTH: Friends, Family, Gathering, BBQ and listening to the old saints talking about all the struggles they had to endure and made it better for children and grandchildren. We should always remember the trials and tribulations that our forefathers had to endure, working tirelessly in the cotton fields, and loved ones being sold and separated from each other. No formal education, nothing but manual labor from sun up to sun down. Because of their struggle and suffering they made it better for us, so we should never, ever forget the sacrifice they made.

-- CHARLES MATTHEWS

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH? The reason is for our ancestors who shed their blood, sweat, tears, & gave their life for freedom that I’m able to enjoy. Black Independence Day is why we give praise to God & attend services, gatherings with food and music. We thank God for health and freedom, Amen.

I love Juneteenth because it is a very important day in African American history. Juneteenth or “Freedom Day” is the oldest nationality celebrated in commemoration of the ending of slavery
