Hill Country Live - NYC's go-to destination for Americana, alt-country, and roots music - has packed this fall with their strongest season to date. On October 2, Mary Gauthier’s Hill Country Live debut will be accompanied by a special barbeque menu created just for the occasion. Billy Joe Shaver and Roger Creager each make return appearances in September, plus The Black Lillies, a group that in five short years has played the Grand Ole Opry over twenty times; The Howlin' Brothers, a band whose champions span Warren Haynes to Brendan Benson; and more.

Sept 25 – The Blue Dogs – Billboard says these seasoned bluegrass vets, on the road celebrating their 25th anniversary, "effectively straddle the line between loose rock swagger and radio-friendly hooks.”

Sept 26 –The Howlin’ Brothers - From dirty blues to hard-driving fiddle romps, the Howlin' Brothers keep audiences on their heels with their wildly energetic picking and singing. Brendan Benson called them "the real deal through and through" and Warren Haynes raved, “They are content to not worry with the current contemporary music scene and just build their own.”

Sept 28 – Billy Joe Shaver - It's a match made in Texas heaven when Billy Joe Shaver makes his second appearance at Hill Country Live. This honky-tonk pioneer has written for a slew of American legends including Johnny Cash, Bobby Bare, Elvis Presley, and Waylon Jennings and has even been honored in song by Bob Dylan. His prolific career led him to win an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award.

Sept 30 - Roger Creager - For more than a decade, Roger Creager has built a reputation on his distinctive brand of hard-core, rabble-rousing Texas Country and exceptional ability to work thousands of Texans into a rabid frenzy in the great concert tradition of Jerry Jeff Walker and Robert Earl Keen.

Oct 2 – Mary Gauthier – This natural-born storyteller whose voice is “a rich palette of unconventional vocal shadings” (American Songwriter) is making her Hill Country debut by bringing in her “bewitching” and “engaging” live show (Alternate Root) that will be tied to a special dinner menu. Don’t miss this gritty singer-songwriter whose emotional songs have been covered by Jimmy Buffett, Blake Shelton, and Boy George.

Oct 6 – Black Lillies – Vanity Fair praises this newly formed Appalachian Americana band for songs that are “measured and familiar, bittersweet but not jaded.” The Black Lillies have played the Grand Ole Opry over twenty times and landed three videos in CMT’s list of Top 12 Requested Videos.

Oct 9 – Jason Boland with Jason Eady - Jason Boland and The Stragglers met at Oklahoma State University and went on to become one of the most popular bands of that region, having released five albums since 1999. Now, on October 9, the Stragglers will unite with native Mississippi rocker Jason Eady who USA Today says “creeps like gathering thunderheads”.

Nov 2 – Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen – A five-time International Bluegrass Music Association award nominee, this jack-of-all-trades mountain man who went to school in Alaska and once played in the Navy’s bluegrass band brings raw grit to atypical mandolin playing by uniting with Dirty Kitchen. The combination produces a ‘Kitchen’ that is “more spicy than ‘Dirty’, no matter what the ingredients” (American Songwriter).
