Musician John Egan has a unique sound ranging from traditional country blues to a more modern songwriter style.

He is a masterfully skilled guitar player who uses poetic lyrics and vintage resonator guitars to create an expressive personal music. Often performing solo, Egan’s guitar style includes, in effect, playing bass, lead, and percussion, all at the same time. He says, “the rarefied air where Lightnin’ Hopkins met Townes Van Zandt serves as an inspiration and an ideal.”

He has immersed himself into his music resulting in a wide body of work that documents the progression of an artistic life.

Garnering New York Times, Egan’s last two releases set the stage for a return to his roots.  On Magnolia City he produces a 10-song collection featuring just his voice,
stomping boots, and a National Steel guitar that focuses on his live playing and songwriting.

Houston-area native, Mary Hammer has performed a wide variety of genres since she was old enough to hold a mic. Her songs are informed by a catalog of folk, Americana, and country-western staples sung in venues across Texas with with her sister, Betsy Lee. Mary has honed her songwriter chops around town both on her own and in “Mermaid Junction”. Hammer has polished her natural, humorous, and down-to-earth presence that leaves crowds wondering whether she’s been reading their mail while she pulls equal parts laughter and tears from their collective souls.
