A “SHOW-of-the-WEEK” pick...

Fri, Jun 26, in Altadena:
8 pm MISS DEVON & the OUTLAW plus KRISTYN HARRIS with BROOK WALLACE, bring top award-winning Western music to the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena.
+
Western swing is the official music of Texas, and these four award-winning, high energy western music performers from Texas, have thrown in together to kick up some serious dust around the old corral. As a result, what Miss Devon & the Outlaw, Kristyn Harris, and Texas champion fiddle player Brook Wallace do is more fun than puttin' socks on a rooster.
+
MISS DEVON & THE OUTLAW are Devon Dawson and Jessie Robertson who formed their musical duo in 2007. Since then they have won many awards. Devon is a top entertainer in western music, known for her "vintage sock-rhythm guitar style, and warm 'swingtime cowgirl' vocals which bring to mind legendary B-western ladies of the silver screen. Jessie has a"fine tenor to baritone vocals" reminiscent of Tommy Duncan, lead singer with Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. He also plays a little saxophone and may drift off into a dozen alias personalities… better keep an eye on the rascal.
+
Their awards and honors together and individually are astonishing:
Western Music Association: 2014, 2013 Duo/Group of the Year; 2013 Trio/Group Harmony Award with Kristyn Harris; 2009, 2012, 2014 Duo/Group Harmony Award; Academy of Western Artists 2009 Female Performer of the Year (Devon); National Cowboy Hall of Fame: 2013 Wrangler Award for New Horizons; GRAMMY Award: Woody's Roundup, Riders in the Sky, based on Toy Story 2; Miss Devon received a Grammy certificate for singing two songs on the award-winning album as JESSIE, the Yodelin' Cowgirl.
+
Western Music Association: 2014 Female Performer of the Year, Youth Harmony Duo of the Year with Olivia Hobbs, 2013 Western Swing Album of the Year, 2012 Crescendo Award for Rising Star, Academy of Western Artists: 2013 Female Performer of the Year, Cowtown Society of Western Music: 2015 Rising Star of the Year Inductee.
+
KRISTYN HARRIS started playing music at age 14 and last fall, became the youngest performer to win the WMA Female Vocalist of the Year. Kristyn is "noted for her powerful vocals, solid rhythm guitar style, songwriting, yodeling, and captivating stage presence." She is joined by award-winning fiddle champ Brook Wallace.
+
BROOK WALLACE, award-winning fiddle champ, joins Kristyn on stage. Growing up as the eldest of 10 kids in a large family near Fort Worth, Texas, she holds the distinction of being the youngest person ever to win all three nationally-ranked junior old-time fiddling championships, held in the same year , and that was when she was barely 9 years old. This was not a false start or beginner’s luck, for Brook is a fiddlin’ phenom, a high octane performer who keeps a busy performance schedule, playing for top bands in just about every style her fiddle can imagine. Audiences quickly discover that she is downright irrepressible when digging into some western swing or letting loose on some fine old gypsy jazz tune. Lock ‘n load, git ‘er done - the girl can play.
+
Bob Stane says, “This is a rare opportunity to catch two acts in one for the same price. We are confident you'll enjoy this evening of wonderful Western music by four talented Texans.”
+
Tix. $20.

The list goes on. The man is one of the architects of the Muscle Shoals sound and Southern R&B, and we can hardly believe we'll have him for a solo acoustic show.”
