EVOLUTION OF THE JIMMIE RODGERS TEXAS MUSIC & FILM FIESTA
Through March and April up until showtime we will begin to announce the venues, music talent, movies & actors, musicals plays, authors, panels and special guests... all with plans to STREAM live and virtually live to the world. We are excited to have a huge lineup of kids and grandkids of many of the greats. Including the great grandkids of Jimmie Rodgers and Steven Johnson the grandson of Robert Johnson who recorded in the Gunter Hotel on Houston Street where Rodgers lived in suite in the Hotel for the last six years of his life. The Rodgers family owned a house in Kerrville, Texas and Alamo Heights there in San Antonio. This Digital Event will be beyond the "cutting edge"... It will be a digital sword.
STREAMING will bring some STARS to us from their home towns and locations where they are out touring or shooting their films from North and South of the Rio Grande. Some of the legends will bring their kids who will perform in the classic venues. There will be a big lineup of musicians and entertainers buskin' in the streets like days of old when the medicine shows would come to town. Our team has 30 years of experience Streaming live events.
Important to the lineup is HISTORY...and the wide range of the music of Texas from country, blues, rock, Texas swing and the Gone Gonzo Outlaw sound of the 70tys from Austin, pop to bebop music with Americana music, and music from North and South of the Rio Grande with Spanish, Mexicana, TexMex. Tejano, Mariachi, Cumbia and some of the new styles that have grown from the San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country to Dallas and West Texas beat of Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Waylon Jennings.
Robert Johnson's grandson Steven Johnson will bring his blues band and a new movie release about his granddad. Special hosts of the event will be the great grandkids of Jimmie Rodgers, and movies about Johnson and Rodgers who both recorded records in San Antonio, at the Gunter Hotel. We will very soon be releasing a big list of music documentaries new and old including the Duct Tape Messiah documentary of Blaze Foley and a
sneak peek The Jimmie Rodgers Saga with panel discussions with producers and directors on many of the movies screened.
Thus far we have 110% interest and the historic lineup of the special guests
attending and appearing at many of the historic venues around Houston Street and on the magic riverwalk. Where some will receive awards.
