Headliners include Summer Dean & Brennen Leigh, two women who are absolutely crushing in the Texas Country Music Scene. We are so excited to have Miss Summer Dean as our headliner on Sunday, April 7th! She’s a retired school teacher who started chasing her dreams to be a full time musician at age 39. She’s a perfect example of the saying “it’s never too late”
“Recently named Texas Country Music Awards Female Artist of the Year, Summer has performed with an array of country aces, including Colter Wall, Marty Stuart, Asleep at the Wheel, Hayes Carll, Silverada (Mike and the Moonpies) and Charley Crockett.”
Brennen Leigh has been in the Texas music scene for a long time as a triple threat. She plays guitar, mandolin and she is one hell of a songwriter! Her songs have been recorded by recognized artists such as Rodney Crowell, Lee Ann Womack, Sunny Sweeney & Charley Crockett. Not to mention…Brennen just won the Ameripolitan music award in the category of Best Western Swing.
