About this concert
Fundraiser for the US Marine Corp' Toys for Tots Program Admission is an unwrapped toy for a child between the ages of 1 and 12. Music begins at 6pm Featuring performances by: Emceed by Jeff Joe Port Arthur's Jeff Joe is one of Houston's hardest working comedians. In addition to hosting a multitude of shows around the city of Houston, Jeff has opened for many nationally known comics such as Pauly Shore, Tony Roberts and Shane Mauss just to name a few. Jack Saunders This recording does indeed "jangle" from the progressive C&W, "Mustache on the Mona Lisa" to the Cajun "Acadian Angel"…Every song is carefully conceived and brilliantly executed with a clean but simple and direct production that delivers the lyrics to the listener's mind. "Raindrops" is one of those tunes best heard with your eyes closed, so that you feel every note. This one is worth several listens just to crack the surface and worth a few more spins to get in deep. - James Killen Kimberly M'Carver Kimberly M'Carver's seemingly Guy Clark-influenced Country-Folk songs radiate romantic Southern nighttime air that's good for breathing in with each chord change. Her songs transcend pure prairie soul, with the warmest tones to comfort your ears since your first experience with a Phil Spector-produced hit. M'Carver's ethereal coos and pastoral croons are so hypnotizing that you'll fantasize about her singing with other people. One listen to a love song by M'Carver and you'll find yourself thinking things like, "What would it sound like if she sang close harmony with Emmylou Harris?" or, "Damn, I'd love to hear her sing one with Dolly and Dwight." - Rhapsody Sarah Grace Sarah Grace is a 16-year-old Indie/Roots singer and musical powerhouse from Houston, Texas. She was as a semi-finalist from Season 15 of The Voice. Sarah Grace's powerful performance of "Amazing Grace" on The Voice can be described as her signature moment, establishing her as a legitimate artist. The recording immediately shot to #3 on the overall iTunes charts, gained 1 million YouTube views, and lived on the Gospel/Christian charts of iTunes for several weeks thereafter. Universal Republic Records released her first four recordings via Apple Music exclusively; however, they are now also available on Spotify. Market Junction Market Junction is a raw and earthy Texas based Folk/Country band. With a sound that is a bit off the beaten path, they look to bring a fresh feel to the red dirt scene. Soaring harmonies, a multi-instrumentalist and well crafted tunes brand this group's style. Lights On Main Street The next generation of musicians, Lights on Main Street is a saxophone quartet and drum set jazz ensemble made up of band students from Magnolia West High School. Expect jazz versions of Christmas favorites. Nick (Buenos) Diaz ”Guitarist Nick Diaz is a musical chameleon who negotiates his cinematic shifts and twists with passion and purpose…" -Michael Molenda, Guitar Player Magazine "It's rare to find young blues guitar demigods who are embodying the spirit of the music…" -Robert Fontenot, Offbeat Magazine Ken Gaines & Wayne Wilkerson Houston area singer/ songwriter, guitarist, producer, and teacher Ken Gaines has the goal of writing great songs in just about every genre and style you can come up with. "For all the great songs that have been written I belong to a wonderful tribe who believe there are a least as many great ones still to be written." His voice has the range to cover all styles and his supple guitar work lays down arrangements instead of just chords. His lyrics are both powerful and poetic and highlight the skills of a story teller and observer of life.

Kimberly M'Carver Biography

Born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in Mesquite, Kimberly (Sowell) M'Carver has been singing and dancing since childhood. A music voice major in Dallas and UT Austin, (while dancing professionally in fashion shows), she also received degrees in anthropology and veterinary science.

After moving to Houston from Austin, she fronted cover bands and started writing songs in 1987, performing them at open mics. A homemade tape of her songs was sent to Rounder Records, and they came to Houston to see her perform them, offering her a recording contract on the spot.

M'Carver's two Rounder releases (1990 & 1994), Breathe the Moonlight and Inherited Road, drew rave reviews, nominations (Best Independent Record, CA) & charted on the Americana chart. She's been nominated by the Houston Press Music Awards for Songwriter of the Year & Best Acoustic/Folk numerous times for over a decade, as well as critic's pick for Best Female Vocalist. Also, a compilation of her first two Rounder cds was released as Kimberly M'Carver by Mesa Music International in Taiwan.

M'Carver co-produced her third cd of original songs (2001), Cross the Danger Line, with Scott Neubert, which included musicians Aubrey Haynie (Faith Hill), Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett), Scott (Hal Ketchum, Trace Adkins), & grammy-winning singer-songwriters Jim Lauderdale and Claire Lynch on harmonies, and stellar reviews followed.

M'Carver's fourth cd (co-produced with Scott Neubert, 2013), Hard Waltz, released on her Kocker Records label. She was joined again by Scott & Claire, along with John Thomasson (Little Big Town), Eamon McLoughlin (Emmylou Harris), Jeff Taylor (Elvis Costello, Robert Plant), Matthew Wingate (Claire Lynch Band), as well as Steve Holland and longtime bandmate (& co-writer on two of the songs), Eric Korb. The album charted #23 on the Roots Music Report Texas Roots Airplay list, made the Top 50 Folk Nationally Roots Music Report list, charted on Radio Free Americana, and charted in the Top 20 on Freeform American Roots Chart (FAR).

A sampling of where M'Carver's songs have appeared include: Serious Doubt, recorded by grammy-winner Jeannie Kendall (The Kendalls) w/Allison Moorer (charted #26 on BillBoard); Texas Home, featured in Texas Monthly's Guidebook to Texas cd, in Texas Highways Magazine's cd Under the Texas Sky, and in Texas Songwriters compilation cd from the Kerrville Folk Festival; My Way Back Home to You on Introspective Journey, compilation of female artists on Rounder; Silver-Wheeled Pony on Kerrville End of the Century; Alimentar Mi Alma on Rounder Records 30th anniversary cd, The Singer-Songwriter Collection, and more.

M'Carver's bandmates include Wayne Wilkerson (guitar, since 1993), Eric Korb (co-songwriter, guitar, mandolin, harmony vocals, since 2000), Willy T. Golden (dobro, since 2017) and James Gilmer (drums, congas, since 1990).

TV appearances include Texas Music Café, Houston's Weeknight Edition, and other (PBS) documentaries. She's toured the US, UK & Europe, and played festivals including Lincoln Center's Outdoor Concert, Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival, Houston's International Festival, Glasgow Scotland's Big Country Festival, Kerrville Folk Festival, and venues including the BlueBird Cafe (Nashville), Anderson Fair, McGonigel's Mucky Duck (Houston), Passim's (Boston), Cactus Cafe (Austin), The Ark (Ann Arbor), Birchmere (D.C.), Iron Horse (Northampton), and many more.
