  Vyktoria @ 7pm
Vyktoria Pratt Keating's music has been described as "Some of the most freehanded, lithe and resilient music around by The Washington Post. She recently opened a 42 show, 5 month tour for rock legends Jethro Tull... Her songs are rich in unusual subject matter including paranormal and fortean imagery, showcasing her gift for writing intelligent, inventive and surreal lyrics.

"Truly the troubadour, VPK combines age-old songstress seduction with technical expertise and offers up the musings of the thinking, feeling and sometimes vulnerable female presence, so much a part of contemporary music making."
 
Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull

"...exhilarating vocals and exquisite guitar artistry .. intelligent, poetic and often quirky lyrics, creating a new blend of whimsical rock, dream pop and progressive folk. She has garnered an impressive response from fans and critics alike, winning three WAMMIES (Washington DC Music Awards)... so different and so adventerous that you find yourself drawn in by the sheer uniqueness of it."
The Music Exchange

"A sensitive and compassionate musical alchemist, Vyktoria is driven to explore the deepest secrets within society and within herself..." Performing Songwriter

A compelling live performer, her unearthly vocals and accomplished guitar work produce lush arrangements ... and her incisive wit, intelligent humor, and skill for storytelling are an engaging part of her live show." Music City Texas, Austin

Vic Fontana & The Automatics

Opening for such acts a CHICAGO and EARTH, WIND and FIRE. This accomplished group, made up of world class performers promises to be one of the most in demand live acts in the tri-state area. Voted the #1 concert in Amarillo,Texas, VIC FONTANA & THE AUTOMATICS IS "THE BAND IN DEMAND'.  Great music, endless fun and high energy will leave the crowd wanting more!    5:00 - 6:30pm


Michael Parker Band
3:30 - 4:30pm - listen online at their official site or on his
MySpace

Michael Parker is an American poet, singer/ songwriter by birth and in soul. The quintessential American kid, he was raised under the starry skies of a dusty West Texas farm surrounded by oil wells, cattle ranches, and pick up trucks. Home on the range indeed, yet he bored easily, questioned authority and longed for a taste of the darker, more mysterious sides of life. He soon gravitates to indie rock, science fiction, and the avant garde which eventually lands him in Los Angeles, California where he resides to this day.

In his new album "Phantasmagloria" Michael writes songs about the state of the American Dream and its dreamers in the early 21st century and hopes that it's not our last. The songs are a collection of dream-visions past, present, and future... They reflect themes like the lack of critical thought in the post 911 world, the mythology of Hollywood, the existence of life beyond Earth, and our universal search for meaning, both collectively and individually.

Phantasmagloria was recorded over a 2 year period in Los Angeles, California and Sydney, Australia with the help of some of the finest musicians both cities have to offer. The cast of international players have performed/recorded with the likes of Alice Cooper, Frank and Dweezil Zappa, Elton John, Prince, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Scott Weiland and more. Their results are now yours for the listening, so please do... loud volume IS appropriate and will enhance your results! Enjoy...
