Congratulations to the Lone Star's Austin Music Award Winners! |
 We are so pleased and proud to announce the Lone Star faculty members who have made a showing at the Austin Music Awards! The AMAs, which take place annually during South By Southwest, are a highly regarded Austin institution, providing encouragement to and celebration of some of Austin's finest musicians. Congratz to Bob Schneider & the Texas Bluegrass Massacre (featuring our very own Rolf Sieker on banjo) for winning the award for Best Bluegrass Band. Congratz also to Future Clouds & Radar (featuring our very own Joshua Zarbo on bass) for placing in both the Rock and Song Of The Year categories, the latter for "Building Havana", which if you haven't heard yet, you need to.

 Thank you to the many talented and dedicated students (i.e. MUSICIANS) who performed at the first ever Lone Star School of Music Recital! Thank you also to the audience, full of proud and admiring family and friends, as well as to our brilliant faculty for the work you do with your students. It was such a fun night - the perfect night to kick off the holiday season - with great performances shared by students of guitar, piano, voice, violin, mandolin, drums, bass, banjo, trumpet and saxophone - you heard right!

The Lone Star Master Class Series |
|
 If you have been to one of our hugely successful, heavily attended and boisterously raved about master classes, you know firsthand what a cool component the Lone Star Master Class Series is to what we do here. New York's own Geoff Hartwell kicked off the series with a stellar demonstration of his electric slide guitar stylings and gave everyone a peek into the styles of Elmore James, Duane Allman and Sonny Landreth! Joshua Zarbo - formerly the bassist for Spoon - offered an indepth bass workshop about how to write cool and catchy bass lines, playing techniques for different genres, and all things bass. Following that, Billy Bright of Two High String Band came in strong with a thorough examination of his mandolin techniques and authentic bluegrass style. Stay tuned for our next installment of the Lone Star Master Class Series - they are not to be missed!
