Originally from Sledge, Mississippi and the daughter of aBaptist preacher, Kate's formative years were forged by the Civil Rights movement of the 60's and those indelible experiences continue to inform her music.
Listen: |  | CAROLINE HERRING's music has been hailed for combining traditional sounds with striking, original observations into modern life and love. The Austin Chronicle proclaimed her album 'Lantana' to be "the best modern Southern Gothic album since Lucinda Williams' "Sweet Old World." On 'Golden Apples of the Sun,' her latest release on Signature Sounds, Herring stakes out new terrain, exchanging the country-influenced sound of her previous albums for a darker, hauntingly personal sound inspired by the iconic female folk singers and songwriters of the 1960s and 70s. In May of 2010, Herring performed at the fabulous Fox Theater, as one of the main acts, on Garrison Keillor's infamous Prarie Home Companion.
Listen:

Her most recent CD was a collaboration with Attic favorite Caroline Herring. Her music is a true reflection of acoustic folk.

Table of 4 reserved seats: $25 |  | For almost 20 years, every Monday night, we've been hosting a SONGWRITER'S OPEN MIC. On any given Monday, you'll get to hear some touring performing songwriters, some local touring songwriters home from the road, some local songwriters that don't tour, some up and comers working on their chops, some amateurs that will never tour, and sometimes, someone that you can look back and say I heard them when...but be guaranteed, it'll be an entertaining evening! And for $5, probably one of the greatest entertainment values in the land. For more information on playing at our Open Mic, visit the "Artist Info" page of our website. | | | |

Table of 4 reserved seats: $75 |  | Texas born JAY BRANNAN knew from an early age that he didn't really want to fit in with those surrounding him. He pursued a degree in acting from the University of Cincinnati, but soon realized that real life can sometimes be a better teacher than any you'd find at a college. He's lived in California and New York, playing his music and writing songs and even dabbling in some acting along the way. He has released three albums, two of original music and one of cover songs and has played shows in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, South Africa, and Australia, among others. The New York Times said, "his tenor voice makes even the saddest lyrics easy on the ear." He has been called "the male Joni Mitchell" by Gen Art Pulse, and The Huffington Post proclaimed "Perhaps if Nick Drake, Janis Ian and Liz Phair all were mixed up in a blender you'd get his sound and songwriting skills."
