3 x CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’, 2 x Australian Folk Music and Music Victoria Award winners, Australian duo The Weeping Willows (Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth) are a couple of old souls, steeped in Bluegrass tradition and draped in Gothic Americana imagery. They regale their audiences with stories of sunshine and romance, God and The Devil, murder and decay. Real music.
“HalleyAnna takes a subtle approach to blowing people away with her music,” says Austin City Limits Hall of Famer Lloyd Maines. “She writes meaningful lyrics and her singing and guitar playing deliver her songs in grand form.” As the daughter of Kent Finlay, the founding owner of the legendary San Marcos listening room Cheatham Street Warehouse, HalleyAnna Finlay was literally born into the tradition of great Texas songwriters — and she wasted precious little time in seizing that destiny. By age 13, she was a regular at Cheatham’s weekly songwriters open mic nights and opening shows for the likes of Terri Hendrix, Sisters Morales, and Monte Montgomery
Born in Texas City, Texas and based in Austin, Austin Mayse brings his charming wit and friendly personality to any stage he plays. When he’s not traveling the country playing for audiences near and far, he can be found at the Saxon Pub a few nights a week, where he greets patrons as the door man. Each song of his has multiple layers of meaning with carefully crafted lyrics and melodies entwined together.
