We started the site and party in his honor and although we've all gone down different paths the last five years or so, we're all still here!<br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://www.kerrville-music.com/performers/2006%20wine/WaltWilkins.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div> And, it's safe to say that without Walt Wilkins, there'd be no Pat Green. At least in the form we came to know him. Ol' Walt Willy doesn't live up in Nashville anymore, and he's a true Texas treat. He also has a new album called <span style="font-style: italic">Vigil</span> that you should check out. Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=456.html <span style="font-weight: bold">Millport Arts</span> is a coalition for music and fine art, representing a group of artists involved in Texas/Red Dirt Music. The music created by the different MA artists is very diverse, ranging from funk to rock to jazz and yes even back to Texas/Red Dirt. The artists that populate this group will be familiar to your eyes and ears, but not in the way you are normally used to. Names such as Rodney Pyeatt, Caleb Jones, Jeremy Bryant and Josh Roberts. Check out their website where they have free music and other cool stuff.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.millportarts.com/" target="_blank" title="http://www.millportarts.com/" class="postlink" rel="nofollow"><span style="text-decoration: underline">MILLPORT ARTS WEBSITE</span></a> Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=454.html <div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://www.galleywinter.com/main/uploads/forums/m_ea62eee688fa45d6baa4200aa4f9c697.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div> <br /> <span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal"><span style="font-weight: bold">*No Justice is giving away 5 VIP laminates*</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">What it is...... </span><br /> Each laminate will include a photo of the winner right on the pass and will allow them and a guest free entry into any show for the months of July and August.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=453.html This is the true story of how a little band from Texas headed to Nashville and picked up a vagabond from London at Graceland. Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=452.html GreenFest this year is going to be vastly different than years past. We're going old school and throwing everything about it being an "event" out the window. GreenFest started back when it was about people. It was formed as an idea to get together and meet and see each other on a weekend when no one was playing any music because we believed that most important, just behind the music, were the people. Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=451.html I've heard this record, <span style="font-style: italic">Beautiful Day</span>, described by some industry people as being Charlie's divorce album. There's nothing here as dark as Vern Gosdin's <span style="font-style: italic">Alone</span> or Willie Nelson's <span style="font-style: italic">Phases and Stages</span>, but the big D is something that permeates the entire record. <br /> <br /> -Brad Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=450.html <div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg81/behelerb/chuck.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Charlie Robison</span> is releasing his first album in five years this month, and I've been lucky enough to hear an advance copy. It's fantastic, and I will be posting my review of it soon. Pick up a copy of <span style="font-style: italic">Beautiful Day</span> and visit Charlie's forum as he is gigging more often in support of the release.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg81/behelerb/darren.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div> <span style="font-weight: bold">Darren Kozelsky</span> also has an album dropping this month. <span style="font-style: italic">Arrivals and Departures</span> features more of Darren's trademark smooth, big vocals. The first single, "Seven Vern Gosdin's Ago" is already getting heavy buzz and airplay. Drop into Darren's forum and talk about the goings on. Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=449.html Well, here we are again boys and girls. Rolling into the warm Texas summer months, and time for some hot new music that I want you to check out. <br /> These songs of course are spinning on Mandatory FM, but, if you haven't had a chance to hear them yet, I don't want you to miss out. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.mandatoryfm.com" target="_blank" title="http://www.mandatoryfm.com" class="postlink" rel="nofollow"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">www.mandatoryfm.com</span></span></a><br /> <br /> <br /> So here goes, in no particular order, here are my top 10 picks for the month of June. Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=448.html Oklahoma has Stillwater, Texas has Waco! What!?!?! <br /> <br /> That was the thought racing through my mind after a conversation I had with Rodney Pyeatt (Stoney LaRue, Selena, Blacktop Gypsy) a few months back at a show. He mentioned to me that there is more musical talent in the central Texas area of Waco-Temple-Killeen than any other area west of the Mississippi. Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://www.galleywinter.com/main/News/article/sid=447.html Bobby Duncan is one of the brightest new voices on the Texas scene, and with good reason. His new album, <span style="font-style: italic">Faith, Hope and Everything Else</span>, produced by Walt Wilkins showcases a fresh take on the lovelorn stretches of Texas Music mined by the likes of Randy Rogers Band and Wade Bowen. Much like RRB's watershed <span style="font-style: italic">Rollercoaster</span> album, this record is rooted in the arc of a relationship complete with sweet beginnings, comfortable togetherness, and a crushing end. This romanticized storyline in a sense gives the entire record a concept feel.<br /> <br /> -Brad Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT
