2025 Music Line-Up:
"Zach Aaron"
with Special Guest "The Lucky Valentines"
The Lucky ValentinesThe Lucky Valentines have written upward of eighty songs, and use a mix of folk melodic sensibilities, tight harmonies, and a whole lotta love to make sad things beautiful. Their sound could be bottled up as “Bruce Springsteen and Patty Griffin meet Shovels and Rope in a Gypsy Junkshop”. He sometimes uses a thirdhand suitcase as a kick drum, and the rotary phone from her father’s shop as a mic. She blends classical violin with raging folk passion. He channels John Prine and Hank Williams.
They have played hundreds of live shows together and have been featured on MTPR’s Musician Spotlight, at Austin’s Iconic Hole in the Wall Cafe, the street dance and side stage of Red Ants Pants Music Festival, and were featured on the May 2022 episode of MTPBS’s award winning 11th and Grant with Erik Funk. TLV blends homespun DIY folk and country sounds with fresh sonic energy; infused with cold heartache, electric wonder, razor sadness and fiery Joy, their music is made to be played on repeat. |
Zach AaronZach Aaron will be opening for the Stampede Music Fest with plenty of enriching music!
It is beyond cliche to say someone has an “old soul,” but Zach Aaron, a Cleveland, Texas-based singer/songwriter, fits that overused description if anyone does. His elegantly tarnished tenor voice, finger-picked guitar melodies and mix of raw honesty and abstract sentiments in his lyrics make him seem of a different time than many of his contemporaries, yet timeless, all the same. |
