This year’s event is even more musically diverse than the last, with artists ranging from Blues and Zydeco, to Texas country. Performances will begin at 1:00 PM with Texas City’s own The Kevin Herrin Band and Chosen. Four time GRAMMY Nominee, Marcia Ball brings her soul sounds all the way from Austin, Texas. Rolling Stone Magazine calls Marcia “ROLLICKING, PLAYFUL, GOOD TIME BLUES AND INTIMATE, REFLECTIVE BALLADRY…HER SONGS RING WITH EMOTIONAL DEPTH”. Leroy Thomas and the Zydeco Road Runners known as THE JEWEL OF THE BAYOU bring their versatile and dynamic musicians for this year’s zydeco act. Hamilton Loomis returns this year to electrify the stage with his guitar and high energy performance. Hamilton will open for this year’s feature act, RANDY ROGERS BAND.
