ANGEL WHITE
5PM
Angel White is a singer/songwriter from Dallas, Texas whose music blends R&B, Pop, and Western influences in a new and unprecedented way. Angel spent his formative years busking on the streets of Deep Ellum, learning the power of his voice and how it could touch the people around him.
It was this approach to songwriting that spawned Angel’s new solo identity and thus his forthcoming album, GHOST OF THE WEST.
Unlike most contemporary music, Angel’s music is not “wallpaper” or transparent: instead, his songs will take listeners to a specific place. For Angel; a western landscape is equally beautiful and dark in its vastness.
Retro Cowgirl
4pm
Retro Cowgirl is an alternative rock band inspired by the blues from San Antonio, Texas. The band is comprised of lead singer Lucky Steele, lead guitarist Luis Fiallos, rhythm guitarist Luis Garcia, drummer Jonluca Biagini, and bassist Sophie Connally. Fiallos and Steele met in 2016 at a small-town record store in northern California and began writing music together shortly after combining blues, latin rock, and indie rock influences. Fiallos eventually moved to San Antonio, Texas in late 2020; with Steele following shortly after. The pair met Biagini, Garcia, and Connally while searching for some of the best musicians in the area. The band takes influences from The Strokes, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and also vocal influences from Gwen Stefani, Heart, and Led Zeppelin. The band has released three singles so far: Dance, Stronger and Honey; with plans to release one approximately every six weeks in 2022.
GOONS
3PM
Producer Timothy Cole Burris grew up listening to bands like The Cars, ACDC, Journey, and Duran Duran, which has given him a unique, retro sounding production style. Linn Drums, screaming electric guitar solos, and hooky synth lines drive a lot of the Goons sound.
Sydney Burris grew up singing and acting in musical theatre and focuses heavily on lyrics and chord progressions when writing music. The pair of them together create a very unique, interesting, fun style of music that you really have to listen to yourself to be able to describe.
