An intimate gathering with three local legends of the San Antonio music scene…

Tom Frost III, perhaps known more for his banking than his music, has a secret passion for all things considered Texas Music. He brings a new spin on folk and acoustic arrangements. For one special evening, he has called on his friends, Terri Hendrix and Willis Alan Ramsey.

Terri Hendrix has garnered wide appeal through the years. Hendrix is one of the most strikingly original singer-songwriters working today, as befits an artist who cites the varied likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Sonny Terry, John Prine and British techno-country-blues ensemble, Alabama 3, among her biggest influences. Hendrix has covered every genre from folk to country to pop to blues to Celtic to Tex-Mex to jazz to Western swing. She scored a satellite radio hit in the punky scream-along “Nerves” from her children’s album, Celebrate the Difference, and co-wrote a Grammy winning country instrumental (“Lil’ Jack Slade”) on the Dixie Chicks’ 2003 album, Home.

Willis Alan Ramsey, a singer-songwriter with deep Texas roots, released his self-titled debut album in 1972. Jimmy Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker, among others, have covered Ramsey’s songs, but his best-known song was a knockoff Ramsey called “Muskrat Candlelight.” It was released by the pop group, America, then later recorded and titled as “Muskrat Love” by The Captain and Tennille. It became one of the most popular songs of our time. Ramsey moved to Great Britain in the 1980s to explore Celtic songwriting and instrumental traditions. With a new album in the works, Ramsey has recently begun touring again performing at the Smithsonian’s Woody Guthrie Tribute, the Kerrville Folk Festival, the annual Folk Alliance Convention in Cleveland, The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and several shows around the Southwest.
