Royce Reed

Friday, August 29
Biergarten area facing the Food Court

5 to 7 pm

Royce Reed – “Texas Piano” has a deep live performance background both as a solo artist and with bands covering a wide range of musical genres (country, southern rock, ’60s rock, blues, and gospel) with a whole bunch of bands from Texas to Florida. At the age of 6, he rode a city bus across Houston to take classical piano lessons, eventually studying jazz under Jac Murphy (the award-winning pianist made famous on the haunting intro to “Wildfire”, the Michael Martin Murphy hit of the 1980s). After playing tenor sax in his high school band, it was a short jump to playing keys in southern rock and progressive country bands in Texas honky-tonks and Oklahoma blues bars, where Royce honed his chops on boogie-woogie and blues shuffles, western swing, and rockabilly. In 2019, Royce teamed with vocalist Jamie Inman to represent the Suncoast Blues Society (Tampa Bay) at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN.
For 50 years Royce has composed, recorded, and performed piano rocking blues, country, western swing, rockabilly, & the soul music of the South. He currently lives in Georgetown, TX and performs both as solo artist at listening rooms, wineries, and retirement communities, and with bands at central Texas dance halls, honky-tonks, and craft breweries.

Ken Brothers

Saturday, August 30
Biergarten Area facing the Food Court
5 or 6-8pm


I have been playing guitar and singing for about 54 years. It still makes me feel good each time I see the faces of people enjoying being entertained. It doesn’t matter if it is one person or thousands: when they are enjoying the performance, so am I.
One highlight of my career was winning the United States Yodeling Championship Contest held in Kerrville, Texas in 1977. I held the title through the following two contests in ’78 & ’79. In 1980 I retained the title once again because no one challenged me, so I was requested to retire from competition to rebuild participation in the contest. The contest was moved to Nebraska and last I heard, was still going strong. I have continued to entertain throughout Texas and neighboring
states occasionally. I perform at a lot of the “opry” type shows all over Texas. I also perform for many other events. During my career, I have made five recordings. First: A private demo label in Houston, Texas. Second: The 1979 Kerrville Folk Festival
Album. Third: a 45-rpm single on the Joey label in San Antonio, Texas. Fourth: A “cassingle”: a two-song tape for radio air play. A Christmas song I wrote called, “Santa Cattle Call”. It was played on
several radio stations in Texas. Fifth: A cassette tape of 12 songs I had written. The cassette was titled “My Own Songs”. I sold these at the shows and performances, until I sold all I had. In early 1999 I was asked to yodel in a Texas Tourism television commercial. It received air play throughout the United States and also internationally. This was a fun experience, and it opened a different world for me. I enjoy entertaining people. Just give me an opportunity and I’ll leave
a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
I have also had a wonderful 23-year career working for the Lower Colorado River Authority in Austin/LaGrange, Texas, in their electrical
maintenance field, planning and scheduling work.

I was born and raised in Flatonia, Texas. After graduating from Sacred Heart Catholic School in Hallettsville, Texas (2019) I moved to San Marcos, Texas. I went to flight school and eventually earned my commercial pilots licence. During this time I played for The Emotions Band out of Shiner, Texas. Upon completion of flight school I decided to pursue a career in music. Since then I have worked with artists such as Tracy Byrd and Pauline Reese. As a self taught musician I have been inspired by artists like Keith Urban and Chris Stapleton. I perform 90ks country, Texas Country and rock & roll hits as well as my own original Texas Country music.
