Artists on Palo Duro Records’ roster will showcase during this year’s South By Southwest Music Festival, just as the Tex-centric label re-launches its historical live recording of Luckenbach hits with a new name.
Over three days in three showcases, one co-sponsored by Palo Duro with the new Shiner Records and another sponsored by Texas Music magazine, more than half a dozen acts on the Palo Duro roster will demonstrate their stuff, including Trent Summar, whose latest album, HORSESHOES & HAND GRENADES, has spent weeks near the top of the national Americana/R&R chart, and Walt Wilkins, who recently signed with the label and is in the studio recording DIAMONDS IN THE SUN with producer Lloyd Maines.
Palo Duro’s country-billy combo Two Tons of Steel, supporting “Your Kiss,” the second single from its CD-plus-DVD TWO TON TUESDAY LIVE! FROM GRUENE HALL, plays on Wednesday and Friday.
Roadhouse-country rockers The Derailers plays on Saturday. Before the show scheduled for Sunday, March 18, at The Broken Spoke, Palo Duro will world-premiere tunes from the band’s tribute album to Buck Owens, UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF BUCK, produced by Derailers front man and guitarist Brian Hofeldt and scheduled for release in early summer. The band also has been working on a new album with Buzz Cason, who produced its last album, SOLDIERS OF LOVE that is scheduled to be released late this year.
Outlaw rockers Eleven Hundred Springs, which plays the Shiner-Palo Duro showcase on Wednesday, join Lloyd Maines in the studio in May to record its second record for Palo Duro (its first was BANDWAGON).
Meanwhile, Palo Duro Records is restocking shelves with the retitled LUCKENBACH! COMPADRES!, the chart-climbing compilation of Texas music from a tiny Texas town (reaching #25 on the national Americana/R&R chart).
