-Isis Destiny
With inspirations ranging from the soulful vibes of Erykah Badu to the retro charm of Donna Summer, Isis infuses her music with a kaleidoscope of influences that resonate with listeners across the globe.
"Scorpio Rising," is a testament to her dedication towards artistry, showcasing meticulously arranged songs that transport audiences to a world of sonic wonder and self reflection,.
-Marco Gutierrez & Colin Gilmore
With influences from The Flatlanders and Buddy Holly to Augustana and Jason Isbell, the West Texas Exiles are reinvigorating the music scene with a modern interpretation of the lone star vernacular. Grounded in rhythmic and lyrical honesty, the Exiles’ sound is the vastness of the West Texas sky and the energy of a world where nothing stands still for long. With three songwriters including Colin Gilmore, this band of outsiders aren’t just waltzing across Texas, they are riding into the sunset in search of new horizons "while I still got my boots on my feet." https://www.westtexasexiles.com

-Sydney Wright
LIKE BUDDY HOLLY, A FELLOW FLATLANDER OF THE CAPROCKS OF WEST TEXAS, COMBINING THE SOUNDS OF THE SUNDET WITH BODACIOUS POPS MELODIES

-Bruce Smith
No performer has graced the Safe House stage for more ferocious performances than Bruce Smith because he wails at a fever pitch, brings it all down to a whisper and rocks all the spaces in between, always maintaining intensity and integrity. The Austin Chronicle writes, "Austin's Bruce Smith Band impresses, ...his songs bring together a wide-screen view that defies his youth." Bryan Beck of KGSR Austin says Bruce Smith is a "great singer/songwriter,: and Austin agent extraordinaire David Cotton observes that "Bruce Smith is the fastest rising star at the Saxon Pub since Los Lonely Boys.” His last album, “1000 Horses,” was released to excellent reviews, and his monumental “59 Stratocaster” - a Buddy Holly tribute tune - is destined for film scores.
