JUNIOR BROWN

Junior Brown is a one-of-a-kind American musician known for his deep roots in country music, his witty and versatile songwriting, and his invention of the double-necked “Guit-Steel” guitar, which blends standard and steel guitar into a single instrument. Born in 1952 in Arizona and raised in Indiana, Brown grew up immersed in the sounds of classic country, rock, blues, and more, shaping a broad and distinctive musical voice. After years of honing his chops in honky-tonks across the Southwest, he gained recognition in the 1990s with a string of acclaimed albums, Grammy nominations, and a CMA award. His music and charismatic live performances have earned him a devoted following, appearances on TV shows like Austin City LimitsLettermanBetter Call Saul, and collaborations with legends such as George Jones, Ralph Stanley, and the Beach Boys. Still touring with his wife Tanya Rae and band, Junior Brown remains a singular force in American music—truly, The American Original.


BOB SCHNEIDER

Austin-based singer-songwriter Bob Schneider, former frontman of The Ugly Americans and The Scabs, is one of the most celebrated musicians in the city’s history, blending genres like folk, rock, rap, funk, bluegrass, reggae, and country into a unique style he calls “frunk.” With over 59 Austin Music Awards to his name—including Best Album, Best Songwriter, and Best Male Vocals—he holds the record as the most decorated artist in Austin. Gaining national attention with his major-label debut Lonelyland, Schneider later founded his own label, Shockorama Records, to maintain creative independence. Known for his dynamic live performances, he has appeared twice on Austin City Limits and continues a 20-year residency at The Saxon Pub, playing over 100 shows a year.
