Darden Smith. Wow, I am thinking about hearing Darden for the first time around 1986, on 90.1fm.
He is one of my heroes and, one of Texas' best-known songwriters. Darden has a unique and diverse
style that is difficult to categorize, and ranks up there with the likes of Townes Van Zandt, John Prine
and Guy Clark. What more be said? I am honored to be hosting this music-god.

a Crafter Guitar in his hands. Brian will be accompanied by Tisha Simeral, his bassist, while they
deliver their brand of blues, bluegrass, and country rock.

The long-awaited return of Ken Gaines and Karen Mal! These two have graced the EDHCS stage so
many times, I believe they hold the record (Karen with Ken Gaines and The Dime Store Poets, and Ken
with Karen and Wayne Wilkerson). Loved by all of Texas and anywhere they perform, these two are
certain to please you with their perfectly-crafted tunes and beautiful harmonies.
