Performance Date
Friday, Aug 29
Please welcome for
the first visit to a Kerrville Festival, the
Gougers! We can't wait to see them!
For The Gougers, it
is more important that audiences hear the lyrics of
the songs created by the singing/writing team of
Shane Walker and Jamie Wilson — poems of vivid
imagery, human struggle, subtle social comment,
truth — than be concerned with what sort of genre
the band’s music fits into.
That’s because The
Gougers’ sound takes in most genres, constantly
moving in and out of country, rock, folk, roots, or
mixing them up, as Walker and Wilson experiment and
evolve as songwriters. They’re playing with rhythm
and instrumental effects, too, along the lines of
influences and music mavericks Ryan Adams, Emmylou
Harris and Bright Eyes and premier musical partners
David Rawlings and Gillian Welch.
