SUMMARY:Kayla Ray w/special guest Justin Clyde Williams
DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm \nSHOW@8:30 \n$8@the Door  \n             \nhttps://youtu.be/4bYfeeeBZ9Y https://youtu.be/YrfNtSTgWDU   https://youtu.be/fCoJF2femkQ https://youtu.be/75OYWJ-lO9w \n      \nWEBSITE SPOTIFY TWITTER INSTAGRAM \nWaco\, Texas born singer-songwriter Kayla Ray wipes clean the dust of nostalgia and can bring even the hardest heart to a place of reflection and understanding. All this while remaining feverishly reverent to the roots of country music\, greeting current day affairs head on\, and chasing whiskey shots with the rowdiest banter one can muster. \nCurrently touring both the US as well as Internationally Kayla Ray is a quick rising favorite of the independent scene. Kayla’s latest studio single\, “The Jameson Waltz” (2019) more than quadrupled it’s projected numbers in it’s first quarter. Kayla’s most recent full album release\, “Yesterday & Me” (2018) received high praise in both the United States as well as the UK earning Ray the number 1 spot on Kelly Gregory of \,“Country Music People” Magazine’s\, top albums list of 2018. \nDespite a recent surge\, Kayla Ray is far from new to the scene. Interested in the long game\, Kayla has been at this pursuit the majority of her young life. Kayla’s pedigree comes as an almost novella type story. That of a budding classic. Despite growing up rather hard\, as a child Ray often entered herself into local talent contests and variety shows. Because of these efforts\, Ray was lucky enough to find herself playing often around the Legendary Gimble Family in the Waco\, Texas area. The talent\, kindness\, and class of the Gimble Family remain a large influence for Kayla Ray. \nShe\, then underage and\, in a charge of independence\, booked her first headlining gig at Papa Joes of Lorena\, Texas. Where as she puts it\, “Billy Joe Shaver shot that guy in the face and got away with it.” Kayla built a band and spent a few years touring Texas and taking necessary knocks before making her entry into the national touring scene. She made this entry employed as tour manager for accomplished songwriter Jason Eady. During this time in addition to her tour managing duties\, Kayla opened shows\, sang duets and\, “kept the boys in line”. \nKayla eventually grew from this position and left the job in 2014 to tour independently. Although\, remaining a close confidant\, Jason Eady had a large hand in producing both of Kayla’s full length albums. \nOver the last decade Kayla has received many awards and accolades. And\, in addition to touring with Eady\, Ray has shared stages with artists like Cody Jinks\, Erin Enderlin\, Jo Dee Messina\, Jamie Lin Wilson\, Whiskey Myers\, Mo Pitney\, Marcia Ball\, Reckless Kelly\, Jason Bolen\, The Turnpike Troubadors\, Shane Smith and the Saints\, Ray Wylie Hubbard and countless others. \nFrom honky tonk dance tempos\, to sit you down and contemplate life ballads\, Kayla Ray’s music does not disappoint. Her feverish reverence to country music\, an indisputable work ethic\, stoic beauty\, and massive personality\, make Kayla Ray an embodiment of what country music should be.            \n Justin Clyde Willams Website Justin Clyde Williams FaceBook Justin Clyde Williams Instagram https://youtu.be/AQ5h2i82MBA?t=12 https://youtu.be/k2UJBOx16bE https://youtu.be/qwfiCX4phEc \nArmed with a flat top or backed by a full band\, Justin Clyde Williams takes listeners on an emotional journey with his songs and stories you can relate to no matter where you call home. \nCapturing the full spectrum of life\, the good times and the bad\, most of his songs you’ll hear serve as a soundtrack to his own experiences with love\, death\, heartache and that one time he “ate just a little bit too much of that gummy bear” \nRaised on the sounds of traditional country and bluegrass music with a variety of influences\, when he’s not performing himself\, its not uncommon to see Clyde playing side man for one of his buddies or appearing with Tyler Hatley in the Dick and Tammy show. \nJustin Clyde Williams always leaves people wanting more with an unwavering experience that is blunt\, therapeutic\, candid and above all – unforgettable.  \nJustin Clyde Williams “Wounds” Original.  https://open.spotify.com/artist/2os6M8Uk9phzs6NOxQrNnc?autoplay=true

SUMMARY:WC Edgar {Live at The Mission}
DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm \nSHOW@8:30 \n$10@Door \n \nFrom the days of riding around in smoke-filled overcrowded rickety vans to million-dollar tour buses\, you could say he’s done it all. \nMoving to Nashville Tennessee with dreams of becoming an artist WC Edgar went to work playing pedal steel guitar for the likes of Alan Jackson\, Tim McGraw\, Opryland USA on the Country Music USA Show at Nashville’s once famed music park\, Ty England\, BB Watson\, Marty Haggard\, Dale Watson\, Leroy Van Dyke\, Lucky Tubb\, Johnny Lee\, Jeff Carson\, Whitey Morgan and many many more. \n\nIt’s often been said that every now and then a really special artist that has what it takes to ‘shake things up’ in the music industry seems to fall through the cracks in the everyday corporate BS\, and backstabbing that goes on in Nashville and WC Edgar is one of those artists’.  In 2003 WC started writing again and the rest is history.  After 9 trips to France\, a 2-week tour of Australia\, a whirlwind 10 shows in 10 cities in 10 days in Spain to Canada\, Sweden\, and most all of the lower 48 US States WC Edgar is living the ‘honky-tonk dream’.  \n\n\nAfter spending a year in what was billed as the ‘live music capitol of the world’ but quickly finding out it wasn’t ‘good music’ and Austin had turned into more of a ‘foodie’ & ‘tech’ town than a ‘music’ town WC moved out of Austin Texas in 2020.  Now headed West with the wind at his back he’s in high gear to finish writing and recording his fifth self penned album that’s scheduled for a May 2021 release followed by a 48-State United States Tour.  \n\n\nWith his trusty Martin HD-28 guitar\, new management\, label\, distribution & new music under his belt in 2021 & influences the likes of songwriters Merle Haggard\, Steve Earle\, David Allan Coe & Jamey Johnson we’d say he’s well on his way to being the world-class American Outlaw singer-songwriter he was always destined to be.  \n\nSo be on the lookout for WC Edgar with his incredible drummer Terrell Clifton from NYC & Kenny ‘Telecaster Master’ Snow from Atlanta touring as a trio asap at a venue near you beginning in September 2021 \n \nWC Edgar “Dallas”\n \n\n \nhttps://youtu.be/OOhZMGX28eQ?t=127\n \nWC Edgar “From Where I Sit”\n \n \n\nWC Edgar “Modern Day Savior”\n \nWC Edgar Website \nWC Edgar FaceBook\nWC Edgar Instagram\nWC Edgar Twitter\nWC Edgar Youtube\nWC Edgar “Man In The Back Seat” \nWC Edgar “Honkey Tonk Heartache” \nWC Edgar “Barrels & Bottles” \nWC Edgar “Mirrors Dont Lie”

SUMMARY:Open Mic Night by Q Entertainment & The Mission
DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm! \nSignUp@6:30pm \nSHOW@7pm \nNO COVER \n\n15 Minute Time Slot includes set up and performance\nEARLY SIGN UP available for 7:00\, 7:30\, 8:00\, 8:30\, 9:00 and 9:30 through the link below:\n\n\nMusic – solo/duo/trio or more\, All genres welcome. Poetry\, comedy\, spoken word\, dance. Bring whatya got!\nMinors are welcome\, but will need a parent/guardian to join them.\nPlease respect your reserved time and arrive 30 minutes ahead of your chosen time.\n\n\n9 Tips to Rock Open Mic \n Featured Article\, How To  Making Music \nAny performer will tell you that you can practice for years in the comfort and privacy of your room\, but it’s not until you take your act to a stage in front of live people that you’ll really hone your craft. If you’re not ready to book shows of your own\, how can you get comfortable on a stage? Open mic events can solve the problem. \n\n\nOpen mic nights serve as incubators for beginning musicians\, or for more practiced types\, they are a great way to test new material before throwing it into a big show. For the totally fresh player\, it can be a daunting experience. Here are 9 tips to rock open mic so you will be prepared to take the stage and get the most out of the experience. \n9 Tips to Rock Open Mic \n1. Know what kind of an open mic it is. Do a little research before you attend the event. Open mics are not universally the same. Some are all acoustic (no microphones or plugged-in instruments); some are coffeehouse-style where people sit in silence listening to players; some are jams where a backing band or equipment might be provided. Make a trip down to the open mic you’ve got in mind before you participate\, or contact the host to get the details. \n2. Everyone at an open mic knows it’s an open mic. People there are not expecting a Lady Gaga production to walk through the door. They’re expecting a musician (or possibly a small group) to share some material that might be polished\, or it might be the first time performed on a stage. Don’t stress about what people will think. They understand the spirit of the event. \n3. Feel totally comfortable with your material. You’ll probably only have a few songs (many open mics are set by a song or time limit\, usually about three songs or 15 minutes @ The Mission)\, so make sure you’re putting your best foot forward. Just in case you get rattled on stage\, make sure you know the tunes in and out.  \n4. Don’t stress about what to bring. Whoever is running the open mic will have equipment for you and they should be fully capable of setting you up with it. If you’ve never plugged in a guitar or sung into a microphone—don’t worry. They’ll make sure you do it right and that it sounds good. That’s part of the Open Mic experience at The Mission. We have a full back line: Guitars – acoustic/electric\, electric & amp and bass & amp. Full drum kit & Yamaha keyboard. Mics\, cables\, stands. And our sound technician is here to help. \n5. Don’t be afraid to ask. Open mic beginners may think they are completely at the host’s mercy. Truth is\, we’re here to make you sound good! That said\, if you can’t hear yourself\, vocals are too loud\, guitar is too quiet\, whatever\, by all means\, tell them! \n6. Don’t be afraid to trust. The host should understand their sound system very well\, so trust that once you’re settled on stage they’re making it sound right out front. If you’re happy with what’s in your monitor sound\, leave the rest to them. We know our system inside and out. It’s a small room and you have 15 minutes. Let us do our job and make the room sound perfect for your performance.  \n7. Support other players. If you don’t want to be judged\, don’t judge other people. Open mics are a place to try material you might not get to try on other stages. Celebrate the people who come to share their art. Cannot emphasize this enough! This is the spirit of Open Mic Nights at The Mission. Enough said. \n8. Network. Open mics are musician hangouts—take advantage! If you’re looking to start a band or find musicians to see elsewhere\, there’s a good chance they’ll be hanging out at an open mic. We’re on Season 12 at The Mission full of Open Mic Stories of success. \n9. Learn from the experience. Every time you walk away from an open mic\, there is something to learn. How were you received? What feedback did people give you? Did you feel more comfortable? How did you compare with the other players? Honestly analyze the event to improve your performance next time. And take the compliments even if you know you made mistakes. You still entertained folks. \n(10) And finally\, HAVE FUN! Open mics are meant\, most of all\, to be fun. Musicians get to mingle\, everyone gets to play\, and even if you have the biggest flub of all time—it’s all in the spirit of open mic. To take the stage at all is to win. Enjoy it\, learn from the experience\, and have a good time! Join us for Open Mic Night\, share some air and feel the Mission Magic!
