at Chaparral Coffee in Lockhart
Monday, Jan. 20
9 pm
CLAIRE CRONIN:
“When she sings, you believe every word.”
– Sam Sodomsky, Pitchfork
“For fans of: Flannery O’ Connor, Sharon Van Etten, and werewolves.”
– Zoe Camp, Bandcamp
‘Big Dread Moon’ (Orindal Records, 2019) by Claire Cronin is a record of spiritual urgency. Cronin’s lyrics and melodies draw on the the stranger aspects of early American musical tradition, revealing the genre’s ties to “folk horror,” wherein supernatural and mundane worlds merge. Quietly sinister ballads like “Tourniquet” and “Wolfman” arise from the weird logic of dream, myth, and half-forgotten memories. Suburban homes, TV screens, and city landscapes are haunted by saints, beasts, ghosts, seers, and a “calm and decisionless” god. Lyrics which implore or command act like prayers or spells embedded inside Cronin’s fever dream stories and personal confessions.

ALEX DUPREE
Alex Dupree is a published poet, who’s spent much of the past few years teaching at UC Irvine, playing in the LA-based bands Mister Paradise and Dawn & Dupree, and at artist residencies in Wyoming and Texas. Originally from Texas, Alex Dupree founded The Trapdoor Band in Austin in the early 00s, releasing three albums before switching to the Idyl moniker and releasing two albums under that name. 2017’s You Winsome, You Lonesome was the first album released solely under his name. It’s a study songwriter’s album with heavy doses of indie rock and country flourishes that drew comparisons to both Bill Callahan and Willie Nelson.

2020-01-26 19:00 - 21:00
Come talk books with us! This month’s read – as selected by the group during our last meet-up – is Book Club: The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. As always, we’ll provide a variety of snacks to munch on during the meet-up. We’ll close out the meeting by voting on next month’s book, so have your suggestions ready!
If you’re unable to purchase and/or borrow the book, we’ll have a copy available to read in the Arts and Craft Library.
This is a free event. To join, just read the book and show up at 7pm on Sunday, 1/26. That’s all there is to it!
Synopsis:
The underground masterpiece of twentieth-century Russian fiction, this classic novel was written during Stalin’s regime and could not be published until many years after its author’s death.
When the devil arrives in 1930s Moscow, consorting with a retinue of odd associates—including a talking black cat, an assassin, and a beautiful naked witch—his antics wreak havoc among the literary elite of the world capital of atheism. Meanwhile, the Master, author of an unpublished novel about Jesus and Pontius Pilate, languishes in despair in a pyschiatric hospital, while his devoted lover, Margarita, decides to sell her soul to save him. As Bulgakov’s dazzlingly exuberant narrative weaves back and forth between Moscow and ancient Jerusalem, studded with scenes ranging from a giddy Satanic ball to the murder of Judas in Gethsemane, Margarita’s enduring love for the Master joins the strands of plot across space and time.

Evenings with the Songwriter: Leeann Atherton
2020-01-28 19:00 - 21:00
Evenings with the Songwriter, the celebrated monthly series from the historic Dr. Eugene Clark Library begins its tenth season with Leeann Atherton on Tuesday, January 28, 7:00pm. The series is produced and hosted by Lockhart songwriter Fletcher Clark, occurring on the last Tuesday of the month, free to the public.
Leeann Atherton came to Austin via Charleston and Nashville, her songwriting suitcase full of a seamless blend of twang, soul, gospel and blues. Steeped in southern roots, stewed in Texas blues, raised by a hillbilly housewife and an Alabama gentleman in Charleston, South Carolina, away from the shopping mall culture, she put herself through college singing in a beach music dance band. She studied the spirituals of the South Carolina islands, sat in with a rural black choir, and joined the hardened professionals at work in Nashville song factories. “I loved the way those Ft. Worth boys sang ‘baby’”, Leeann gleams. A road trip to Texas was all it took, and Leeann’s independent roots flourished in the fertile musical ground of Austin.
Evenings with the Songwriter has featured scores of celebrated artists, including such luminaries as Shake Russell, Tish Hinojosa, Vince Bell, Butch Hancock, Christine Albert, Dana Cooper, Susan Gibson, Ken Gaines, Rex Foster, Eric Taylor, Shelley King, and Walt Wilkins. This Tenth Season will continue with Jenny Reynolds, Michael Hearne, Brian Kalinec, Greg Whitfield, Mark Jungers, Talia Bryce, Stoney Gabel, Eric Gerber, and Chazz Bessette. Fletcher Clark will be featured for May, celebrating the 10 anniversary of the inaugural presentation. “Evenings with the Songwriter is not really a performance nor an interview nor a song swap nor a lecture, but elements of all. ‘Exploring ‘the art and craft of songwriting’ in this way and in this special place is a very different experience for these songwriters – and the audience.” says Clark.
Fletcher Clark III, named for his father and grandfather (both doctors from nearby Prairie Lea in Caldwell County, Texas), was born and raised in San Antonio, beginning to play professionally at age 12. Graduating from Williams College in Massachusetts as an economist, he had also studied classical composition there. Leaving a banking career in Boston, he came to Austin in 1972 to become a pivotal figure in the evolution of the music scene, joining the management team at legendary Armadillo World Headquarters. His work over the years as sideman and producer/engineer for feted songwriters Steven Fromholz, Bobby Bridger, Rusty Wier, and many others led to his current songwriter career . He has released five recorded collection of his songs and continues to perform for select audiences and venues throughout the state.
The Dr. Eugene Clark Library Lyceum is the oldest continually operating library building in Texas. Its ambiance offers a special intimacy for Evenings with the Songwriter, appreciated by audience and guests alike. The series is presented to the public free of charge on the last Tuesday of the month (except December), thanks to City of Lockhart Library Director Bertha Martinez and her staff. Support comes from local Friends of the Song sponsors Todd Blomerth & Patti Payne, Donaly & Clare Brice, and Robert & Esther Wilson.

Mark Willenborg & Kevin Mooney
2020-01-31 21:00 - 23:00 | The PEARL, 110 N. Main St., Lockhart, TX, 78644, United States
Cold beer and country music on Friday night in Lockhart at The Pearl.
Mark Willenborg writes and sings classic country music – the kind that your grandfather would approve. His music is inspired more by guys named Willie and Merle than anyone named Luke or Blake. He’s been playing and singing this music as long as he can remember, but only started writing his own tunes a few years ago. “It started out as a dare from a buddy… to write a country song. So I did, and I never stopped.” His latest EP, titled “Song Worth Singing” was recorded with the help of some of the best pickers in Texas. It has a decidedly bluegrass feel with a honky tonk heart.
