Preview Video of the event which took place in October ... hope you didn't miss it, we had a blast!

Contestents taking of from Waterpoint Marina on Day 2 of the Competition.

Take the Guadalupe River, add 27 people, 6 rafts, a full moon, and some good music, and what do you have? The Midnight River Choir. At least when 4 guys out of the 27 decide to form a band. The band's primary form consists of Eric Middleton on rhythm guitar and vocals, Justin Nelson on lead guitar and harmony vocals, Mitchell Pyeatt on drums and harmony vocals, and Jeromy Yager on bass and harmonies. But, all four members play multiple instruments so its common for them to switch positions on stage all night long. Add the different songwriting styles of all four of them and this band will have you laughin', cryin', two steppin', and rockin' out, sometimes all in the same song.

Come on down and enjoy some FREE live music this friday! Buster Jiggs is going to put on a show ...
your not gonna want to miss it!

BIO
Originally formed by now husband and wife team, Scott Muennink(drums/songwriter) and Kristin (singer/songwriter), the then garage band played their first show on the infamous Executive Surf Club stage in 1999. Cody Braun and David Abeyta of Reckless Kelly produced Buster Jiggs' self-titled album, which had a few Texas Music Charting songs, and sat at #3 on the XM Radio's Country chart in 2005. In 2007 Kristin gracefully and commandingly became the voice of Buster Jiggs, debuting her vocal talents on the EP Miserably Happy; which was produced by Joseph Deeb, formally of Micky and The Motorcars. He also produced the latest album, Smith release, Heartache Jubilee (2009) which was the band’s first album in four years. At the end of 2010 Kristin and Scott teamed up with some old friends and veterans in the scene, lead guitarist Coby Wier (Rusty Wier, Bleu Edmondson) and bassist Jimmy McFeeley (Reckless Kelly, George Devore). So be on the lookout for Buster Jiggs in 2011, they put on a show and have a sound that you will not want miss.

"Kristin offers a rich, full-bodied Red Dirt Vocal performance that is never forced. Texas music rarely offers exceptional female solo artists or lead singers, and Kristin's fine vocals set Buster Jiggs apart from the current crop of Texas Bands." -CountryChart.com

"Listen to the songs "She's Gonna Break Your Heart", "Pretty White Wings", and "Heart of Mine" you will hear great vocals along with great lyrics, and a band that knows how to play a song" -TheExaminer.com

The band is named after a character from the poem "The Sierry Petes (or Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail) written by Gale Gardner in 1917, from which the band's logo of a boot wearing, guitar wielding devil was created.

Jarrod Birmingham wil bring his inspired country music to the Waterpoint Center Tonight. Come and check it out.

Jarrod Birmingham’s 2006 CD, “No Apologies,” spawned a #1 single and earned the country music outlaw a top ten spot in the Best Of Texas Top 30 songs of the year.

He has been compared to Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams, Jr. and producer Eric Paul described the country traditionalist as “the first real singer of the 21st century.” Humbled by the accolades, Birmingham attributes his pure and gritty musical style to his true grit life style.

“I believe that country music should reflect the common people,” says Birmingham. “That’s pretty much my mission statement, to stay grounded in the knowledge that I‘m a blue collar individual, a country boy. There are a lot of people out there like me, and I’d like to be their voice.”

This South Texas native is no manufactured “hat act.” Birmingham is a REAL cowboy. A former professional bullrider who has enough pins, plates and screws in his body to make it difficult to pass an airport scanner, Birmingham’s music is steeped in stark realism.

“I never really quit riding bulls,” he laughs. “The music just sort of took over. But, what you see is what you get when you deal with me, and that is how I want to come across through my music.”

Critics agree that Birmingham indeed delivers on record and on stage. One of the best reviewed acts of 2006, he has been described as “refreshing,” “rough & tumble,” and “a true Texas treasure.”

His #1 single, “If You Don’t Like Me,” confirmed his place as an extraordinary talent on the Texas music scene and his new BMA Records release, “Like My Daddy Did,” will introduce the rest of the nation to our Texas treasure.
