Bear Creek Concerts is an Official MTM Approved Performance Venue

After four years of presenting independent music from the front porch of a cabin near La Grange, Texas, Bear Creek Concerts will release the first in a series of compilation CDs that showcases artists who have performed at Bear Creek. “PEACE FROM THE PORCH, VOL 1” will not only showcase some of the finest talent in America, but it will also benefit The American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life” events. Eight artists donated their music to this important cause, which includes four previously unreleased recordings. The CD captures the quality and good taste of the House Concert phenomenon. House Concerts are hosted all over the U.S. and the music represents many cultures and musical styles. Volume 1 is heavy with Texas artists, but the music is far from the typical “Texas Music” sound. “It’s music that is smart, well written and well performed,” says Executive Producer, Christy Claxton. It represents folk, rock, bluegrass, funk, and country with a hint of praise and gospel. Artists include Claxton’s Bear Creek Ensemble, Erika Luckett (from San Francisco, CA), Ken Gaines, Jean Synodinos, Back at the Ranch, Rene Lawrence, Donnie Blanz, and Lucky Boyd. If you’re looking for some great driving music, or some inspiration, or you’d just like to have a really good sample of what independent music is all about, “PEACE FROM THE PORCH, VOL. 1” is a must have. And because there’s something for every music lover, it makes a great gift that not only gives to your loved ones, but also to The American Cancer Society. This masterfully produced fourteen-cut CD is available online exclusively through MyTexasMusic.com.
