Olivia Harms

Olivia Harms

Olivia Harms was born Western Music royalty, but the rhinestone cowgirl has stepped out on her own to craft music that is equal parts Texas, Bakersfield, and Nashville country. Making her very own Country Western Honky Tonk sound.

Olivia, Daughter of Western Music Hall of Fame member Joni Harms, grew up on the 150-year-old Harms family ranch in Canby, OR.

Olivia's first appearance on stage when she was two days old. Joni had labor induced so she wouldn’t miss her show at the Portland Speedway with Clint Black, Lorrie Morgan, and Ricky Skaggs. Now Olivia is following in her mother's creative bootsteps and chasing the same dream.

Olivia’s first album came out in 2011 when she was 16. The debut album titled "Olivia" includes some of her early writing and was certainly a launchpad for the music to follow.  Olivia's second album “Rhinestone Cowgirl” was released in 2021 and shows off her signature sound that folks have come to know her for. Produced by D. Scott Miller and recorded in Nashville, the 11-song collection calls out to the cowboys, name-drops George Strait, swings through Buckaroo territory and packs plenty of fiddle and steel guitar. “I was going for a very traditional country sound, with Bakersfield twang and some country-western swing to bring back honky-tonks.” Olivia explained.

Olivia knew early on that she wanted to chase a career in music. When she was 6 years old, Santa Claus delivered her first guitar and sparked her love of songwriting. She grew up performing on stages all over the world with her mother. Olivia remembers yodeling in Europe and singing “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” in New Zealand.” 
 
After high school Olivia went to Oregon State University while further pursuing her music career, and her second passion of agriculture. She graduated college with a degree in agriculture business management and cattle production, then she dove headfirst into the music business. Olivia still handles most of her own booking, PR, and social media accounts in addition to writing, recording and playing more than 200 shows a year. “I try to be a real one-woman show” she said.

When Olivia was writing for her second album. She wrote songs with noted country writers including Wood Newton (The Oak Ridge Boys “Bobbie Sue,” Kenny Rogers “20 Years Ago”) and Dennis Morgan (Barbara Mandrell “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool,” Ronnie Milsap “Smoky Mountain Rain.”) From her autobiographical “Gypsy” to the lighthearted “Hey There Cowboy” and the deeply personal “Love Me To Pieces”, “Rhinestone Cowgirl” is Olivia Harms.

Olivia has continued to hit the ground running after her dreams. She has released multiple singles to Texas Red Dirt Radio. "Hey There Cowboy" debuted on the chart after only 3 weeks and peaked in the Texas Top 10. Her most recent single "This Ain't My First Rodeo" sat in the Texas Top 5 for over 5 weeks!

Olivia has found her niche genre, playing music for western lifestyle and honky-tonk lovers. She has been recognized for her hard work and perseverance to stay true to herself and play music that is authentic to her. In March of 2022 Olivia was honored to be in COWGIRL Magazines third class of "30 Under 30", a gala hosted at The Drover Hotel in the Fort Worth Stockyards highlighting 30 western women under 30 years old that are making a difference in the western industry. Olivia was honored again in June of 2022 to be announced as "Singer of The Year" at the First Annual Women of The West Gala at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame Museum in Fort Worth, TX.

​Olivia is currently based out of Northern California with her new husband on their cattle ranch. She still frequents Texas and Nashville often and spends the majority of her time touring the western states and beyond with her band The Roadrunners.. Regardless of where she hangs her hat, she’s well in touch with her western roots.

The Rangers

The Rangers

The Rangers are a Lowell Indiana based 5 piece band playing Country Rockin’, Honky Tonkin’, Texas Country music!  With 4 albums, 5 singles, their goal is to "bring country music back to its roots!" The band is currently touring and has headlined venues like Cactus Jack's in Phoenix AZ, The Law Office Music Hall in Yorkville, IL, The Phoenix Saloon in New Braunfels, TX, And Carol's Pub in Chicago, IL.

Origins & Discography

The Rangers hail from Lowell Indiana and have been writing and playing their original music since right around 2021, and haven’t quit since. The band currently has three albums released; the first (The Bayou) being a swampy voodoo album inspired by artists like Charlie Daniels, Jerry Reed, and all the old timey delta blues artists from the 30s and 40s. The second album (Way Of The West) is a an epic, Wild West, southern rock tale inspired by the likes of Ennio Morricone’s scores, Marty Robbin’s cowboy ballads, and some good ol’ fashioned rock n’ roll. Fast forward to the band’s 3rd album “Roll The Dice”; a twangy, honky Tonkin’, hell raisin’ country album about rolling the dice on life, and various day to day struggles, couched in Vegas casino themes.

Influenced by artists like Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard as well as some newer artists including Jesse Daniel, Silverada, Charley Crockett, and The Shootouts, The Rangers plan to continue their vision for bringing country music back to it’s roots, with their brand new album "Cowboy In A Bottle", chock full of steel guitar, fiddle, horns and good Ol’ honky tonk twang! The band is forging ahead with their vision of bringing real country music back; in the biggest and flashiest way possible!

Young Dubliners with Opener Cul-de-Sac Cowboys @the Colonel

Get ready for a night of incredible live music at The Colonel Venue & Cigar Lounge! The Young Dubliners are hitting the stage with their energetic tunes, and the Cul-de-Sac Cowboys will kick things off with their unique sound. Don't miss out - it's going to be a blast! Grab your friends and head over to The Colonel for a night you won't forget.

VIP tickets: $40 (includes charcuterie board and table service, must be booked in groups of 4, tables are first-come, first-serve)

After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album (with longtime producer Irish-born Tim Boland) while still maintaining their busy tour schedule. They have returned to the road post-pandemic stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can.

The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (Violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). With a batch of incredible new songs and an undeniable energy, the band is excited to bring their show to festivals, theaters and clubs around the world.

“We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says Roberts.

For only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album instead of a traditional record company.

“The business has changed so much over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a label and then owe it all back,” adds Roberts. “Making all our supporters co-producers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to maintain control all the way”.

The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. In recent years, the band has appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos and Chris Issak.

Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows. After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind.

“That was always the idea,” Roberts said. “The sound was intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, a lot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now so you never know what you’ll end up with.”

Cruz Contreras is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer whose music occupies a rare space at the intersection of Appalachian tradition, cosmic Americana, and independent spirit.

 As the founder and frontman of The Black Lillies and co-founder of Robinella and the CCstringband, Contreras has spent nearly three decades crafting a sound that is both deeply rooted and forward-looking. His work has topped Billboard and Americana radio charts, earned Independent Music Awards, and received a nomination for the Americana Music Association’s Emerging Artist of the Year.

Contreras’ performances have spanned Late Night with Conan O’Brien, CMT, VH-1, PBS’s Sun Studio Sessions, and the Grand Ole Opry, where he has appeared more than 40 times. His songwriting and musicianship have been praised by Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, NPR’s Morning Edition, and American Songwriter Magazine. After releasing 5 albums under the name “The Black Lillies”, Contreras released his debut solo album, entitled Cosmico.

 Currently touring as “Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies” and having just announced his 2025 western summer tour  Contreras, continues to build on an extensive and evolving body of work, offering audiences performances that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Ronnie and The Redwoods is a West TexasAmericana/Rock band that has brought deep and emotional lyrics together with music rooted in the blues, folk, and country of the high plains. Honest and earthy, with influences from The White Stripes, Tyler Childers, John Prine, and the Red Dirt scene that surrounds them, they’ve formed their own interpretation of what happens when you combine Folk, Country, Rock n Roll and Grung.

We started like all the great bands before us - a few college dropouts in a crappy triplex apartment, snacking on leftover pizza, trying to tease out a melody from some beat-up old guitars. This was in 2013 and, while our band looks a whole lot different, we still believe that music is the great connector, the great equalizer, and a powerful healing force we all need to feel hope, joy, and connection.

Andrew Sheppard

Andrew Sheppard

$10 at the door.

Andrew Sheppard never wanted to be a professional musician. As a kid, he dreamed of being a professional skateboarder.

Right after high school, he moved from small-town Hailey, Idaho to Los Angeles to pursue his pro skating dream. Unfortunately, his career was cut short by a debilitating injury. He turned to music as a means of salvation. 

While skating consumed his teenage years, he grew up surrounded by music, listening to his mom play in rock n roll and blues bands. He took up the bass and was kicking around in ragtag punk bands until he started writing his own songs. 

L.A. proved the perfect place to reinvent himself. He started playing guitar and fronting his own band and dove into a burgeoning L.A. Americana music scene. A move to Nashville in 2013 resulted in a debut album, Far From Here in 2015, and the follow-up, Steady Your Aim, in 2018. When the pandemic hit, all bets were off. He moved back to Idaho to regroup.   

In 2022, Sheppard represented Idaho on NBC’s American Song Contest show with his original song "Steady Machine", which was released on Atlantic records, which garnered him national and international recognition. 

Check out this video of the show: Listen to Steady Machine

That sudden burst of notoriety and interest opened the door for Sheppard to work with some of his heroes: Ron Lapread (bassist of the Commodores), drummer, Manu Katche (Sting and Peter Gabriel), and bass player Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop) in Paris, London and Auckland, New Zealand. Unfortunately, Sheppard’s been in a holding pattern due to a familiar tale in the music biz, a bad record deal and disagreements with a producer. He used the time to write and record a new album in his Idaho studio, The Beauty Shop    

The album to be released in 2025 is a more straightforward rock ’n’ roll record than his previous work and will appeal to fans of Tom Petty, The Growlers, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Black Lips, Deer Tick and the like. 

After nearly two years in the recording studio, Sheppard is ready rock and to get back on the road with his band and connect with old and new fans alike.

JARROD MORRIS

JARROD MORRIS

$10 at the door.

The Texas-based singer-songwriter spent most of his early twenties in isolation, working hard shoeing horses. This lifestyle laid the groundwork and set the stage for him to write hundreds of songs, eventually leading to an opportunity to record his first full album, ‘West of East’. Emphasizing social media marketing, the records and singles achieved immediate success in the Texas country format, laying a strong foundation for the next chapter of his musical journey. Jarrod aims to capture the free, wild spirit of the American Cowboy, with smooth, memorable melodies and gritty vocals that can range from a sensitive, contemplative, lonely late-night drive to a full-on summertime folk-rock revival. Jarrod's musical influences are wide and it shows, often making formatting and placement difficult. However, this is purposeful. Jarrod believes that the music he is planning to release will appeal to a very broad audience. Fans often use a wide variety of references to describe his style, including Tom Petty, Kacey Musgraves, Ryan Bingham, Sting, John Mellencamp, and Ryan Adams. Jarrod's musical personality can best be described as an indie sound and old soul with a dedicated modern songwriter's heart.

Liam & Layne Show

Liam & Layne are 14-year-old identical twin musicians from rural Wyoming, forming an energetic duo deeply inspired by the sweeping landscapes of their home state. Their sound is a raw, heartfelt fusion of folk, rock, bluegrass, and Americana — often described as “grungy mountain folk.” The brothers’ musical journey began in 2010 at local open mic nights in Ten Sleep, WY. What started as a casual hobby quickly ignited into a full-fledged passion, leading them to perform at clubs, festivals, and alongside artists like The Po' Ramblin' Boys, The White Buffalo, Jalan Crossland, and others. Following the release of their debut EP, "Don't Slow Down," in 2024, Liam & Layne are gearing up for the next chapter. Their upcoming full-band EP, "The Fight with Time," is slated for release in summer of 2025.

Collin Morlock

Imagine a crooner like Chris Isaak or Roy Orbison singing cinematic Western ballads in a spirit akin to Marty Robbins or Tom Waits and it might start to resemble Collin Morlock. Currently based in northern New Mexico, the singer-songwriter/composer/producer was raised in Idaho and spent a period of years collecting influences in New Orleans, Nashville and Wyoming, all the while evolving a body of work drawn from 70’s Laurel Canyon songwriters, early Pop, Spaghetti Western, Classic Country and film music and blends them with stories about heartbroken hopefuls of the West. The songs are simple and familiar, but somehow elude the easy trappings and clichés of genre that they were drawn from. His first self-produced collection of songs "Moonflower Demos" was released in summer 2023, followed by a second self-produced EP, "Thanks For The Song," in spring 2024.

Carson Jeffrey with opener Mike Canada

Get your tickets here. $10

Singer-songwriter Carson Jeffrey is a full-time, authentic to the core Cowboy and a part-time musician that Texans just can’t get enough of. During the week, the Cat Spring rancher disconnects completely from the music world, opting instead to fill his days building barns, fixing fences, mowing pastures and roping calves.  When the weekend comes he converts to a road warrior playing more than 100 shows a year throughout the Southern region.  Carson regularly sells out college bar mainstays like The Tap in College Station and The Blue Light in Lubbock.

The 25-year old, Texas A&M grad will release his third album, Fair Weather Cowboy on November 18, 2022. The ten track record will give fans a deeper glimpse into this cowboy’s soul. He penned every song showcasing themes about growth, loneliness, and letting loose. Fans can hear a taste of the new project on “Cow Pissin,” the current single, that is available now on all streaming platforms.

They've been described as "Brit-pop gone country" or as "..The Band covering Beatles songs no one knew existed.”  (Tony Kay, Washington's Artist Home blog). The group's sound has evolved from 60's psychedelic garage rock into spaced-out, down to earth rock n' roll, that feels “like a perfect companion for a long dusty road trip” (KEXP, Chris Sanley)
