33rd Anniversary of Black History Month and 83rd Anniversary
of Black History Week with artists LZ Love, Lightning Red,
and special guest Clifton Fifer. LZ Love is a Chicago born,
Berkeley raised singer-songwriter living in Austin, TX. Love
began her career in the mid ‘70’s, becoming a welcome
addition to the roots-music scene. Love’s outstanding voice
rival’s anyone, anywhere and it is no surprise that LZ Love
began her career as a backing vocalist and has already
worked with a diverse range of talents ranging from Luther
Vandross, James Brown and George Benson to Robin Williams.
Love has “got the juice” with an attitude that sees the
world and its multi-faceted components with a clear focus.
Love is poised for great things and her future is bright.
Lightning Red is another Chicago born “natural” guitar
player, with a loose, light technique that seems almost
effortless. Red has an impressive persona and stage
presence, and is a master of both acoustic and slide guitar.
Red’s guitar playing never fails to impress. Clifton Fifer
is a special guest and Kerrville resident who is no stranger
to the Coffeehouse series. Fifer is known for programs about
Black Cowboys, Buffalo Soldiers, and Native Americans. Fifer
presents Black Cowboy poetry that reflects the sacrifice,
hard work, discipline, dedication, insight and investments
of Black Cowboys into a future that promised a better way of
life.

performances by Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines.
Hendrix is a true Texas singer-songwriter based in San
Marcos, TX that believes in patients, hard work, and
persistence. Her involvement in the Texas Hill Country has
helped inspire students of all ages, from Elementary school
students to College graduates. Hendrix is an amazing
performer and a great writer. Her story telling has a
certain kind of believability that is natural, and she can
turn on a dime and twist it around where it’s as unexpected
and as funny as anything you could imagine. Maines is not
only a great musician but a producer of many great Texas
recordings, including “Home” by the Dixie Chicks. Maines is
best known as a steel player, but he's also been a producer
for almost two decades now. It seems the prolific Lloyd
Maines, doesn't waste a single second of his waking hours,
he's virtually everywhere and will be at Schreiner
University March 12, 2008.
