It´s time to unveil the lineup for our 20th annual River Jam (originally known as Greenfest)! River Jam is a tradition dating back to 2002, much like the community itself. Through various locations, eras and venues, the vibe has remain untouched. That vibe is one of a family reunion. A place where the tightest knit of musical fans gather to hang out and pay homage to each other as much as the music they love. Beginning in 2009, New Braunfels came River Jam´s home base and that has continued since that time with the addition of San Marcos as the

Josh Grider has long been a Galleywinter favorite dating back to his earliest performing days in Waco. Hand in hand with that, Grider has performed at Greenfest/River Jam in various forms. Acoustic, full band, trio, special guest…you name it. Each time he has killed it. Each time he has brought something special. Each time he’s left the crowd wanting more. Grider returns to River Jam this year as part of the Lone Star Floathouse acoustic songswap jam. The past few years have found Grider on a continual career upswing;, and scoring several hits on Texas Radio. Few people are able

River Jam Artist Preview: Nate Rodriguez

Nate Rodriguez is one of the most talented individuals we’ve ever showcased. His voice is rich in soul, power and range. The original songs he writes are slices of the Victoria, TX upbringing he endured. Playing sideman as a lead guitarist and drummer has helped Rodriguez hone his skills and sharpen his artistic focus. He’s the glue of this event and left as the talk of the festival a few times. He epitomizes our Galleywinter focus of bringing new music to your ears. Rodriguez is too good to be as underappreciated as he is. Performance date/time: Sunday Aug 1 –

Few voices are as powerful, soulful and spell-binding as that of Bonnie Bishop. Her career has seen her chase various musical muses over the years, but no matter the style, it’s her voice that shines through. It’s an instrument as recognizable as Duane Allman’s Les Paul or Brady Black’s fiddle. Identifiable, authentic, unique. Bishop is known world-wide and we are blessed that she is gracing us with her talents on Sun August 1st at the Floathouse. She will be part of a powerhouse trio of singer/songwriters during her set as she will be joined by Jade Marie Patek and Nate

River Jam Artist Preview: Jonny Burke

July 20, 2021July 20, 2021 Galleywinter 0 Comments

Jonny Burke is a folk Americana singer/songwriting marvel. Hitting stages and roads since his teens, Burke has honed his own style that is heavily in the vein of Dylan, Van Zandt and Clark. Burke writes songs that mean something and performs them with a genuine ferocity that is hard to find. He’s the type of musician and songwriter that other musicians and songwriters are drawn to and inspired by. He may have problems, but writing songs isn’t one of them. Burke was unable to perform for a while and that makes each performance even more precious and vital. Join us

Pat at 50

April 5, 2022April 5, 2022 Brad Beheler

My entanglements with the music of Pat Green are well documented. I’ve written and spoken thousands of words about it over the last 20 plus years. The wave of energy that crested in the late 90s with Pat’s ascent is something that will not be recreated or experienced again. His affable awshucks demeanor, blazing stage presence, professional band, catalog of songs and general attitude had not been seen before and it has not been seen since. He took what Robert Earl Keen and Jack Ingram were doing next level. He leaned on guys like Walt Wilkins and Joe Ely to
