FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Texas Music Coffeehouse begins its spring series on Wednesday, January 17, at 7:30 pm, at the Cailloux Center on the Schreiner University Campus. The highly acclaimed music duo, Lady Jane Grey, will be the featured performers. Their music has been described as "moody, passionate, with rare depth and honesty," and their song, "Never Should Have Trusted You," is the most requested song at Fredericksburg's KFAN, the top Americana station in the U.S. Another of their singles, "Fire", stood at the top of the UK pop charts for six weeks and in the top 10 internationally on MP3.com. After having experienced great success on the charts of major MP3 internet sites, Lady Jane Grey was handpicked from hundreds of national acts as finalists for the Lilith Fair Talent Search. Lady Jane Grey's debut CD was released in January 2000. Additional information on CDs/concert dates is available at www.LadyJaneGreyMusic.com. The Texas Music Coffeehouse concert series, the third Wednesday of the month, is sponsored by Schreiner Student Activities and the Texas Heritage Music Foundation.

For Immediate Release

Kerrville—Plans are well underway for the annual Texas Heritage Living History Day to be held in Louise Hays Park on September 8, from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. This event is now an educational program using stories and songs as another way of learning. The event is produced by volunteers and funded by local businesses and foundations. Over 35 performers and demonstrations will be set up in the park. Educational packages are available to teachers and schools interested in attending.

Thanks to a generous donation, transportation grants are available to rural schools, alternative schools and kids at risk.

The event is free and the public is invited to participate. Volunteers are still needed to help set up the program. Sponsors are needed to provide food for the performers at noon. "We still need a vendor to sell food at lunch," said Kathleen Hudson, director of the Texas Heritage Music Foundation. "I would like to see a local organization use this as an opportunity to contribute to an educational program and raise money at the same time."

Any organizations interested in being involved need to call 367-3750.

This year the Pioneer Museum, Institute of Texan Cultures, Institute of the History of Texas Music, Cowboy Artists of America Museum, the YO Ranch, the Texian Heritage Society, and the Nimitz Museum will bring special programming. 30 local performers will add stories and songs with Tony Navarra bringing the annual tribute to Jimmie Rodgers. A western swing tribute to Jimmie will be held at Luckenbach at 8:00 p.m. that same evening, September 8. Tickets $10.
