With an or- ganic boost from Kaufman, I went from playing the front room at Gruene Hall for a max of 150 people to playing a show in San An- tonio for 1,500 people. That was a moment that kept me going, because, before that, I’d been working for 10 years and had a lot of rejec- tion but very little success.” Keen’s journey brought him back to the town of College Station in 2018 to accept the Texas A&M Dis- tinguished Alumni Award. In 2019, he enjoyed a home- coming at the Houston Rodeo when he performed with Lovett ahead of George Strait to the record-break- ing audience of more than 80,000 attendees. BMI acknowledged Keen’s contribution as a road warrior when they honored him with the inaugural Troubadour Award, which celebrates the artists who “craft for the sake of the song,” according to BMI. Keen and his band go out 180 days a year to play dance halls, roadhous- es, theaters and festival grounds with diverse crowds of college kids, seri- ous singer-songwriter fans and plenty of true believers in authentic tales of life. Every music fan should experience a live perfor- mance of Keen before he retires in September. BAG OF DONUTS APRIL 29 A re you looking for a memorable evening of live music, one that is at once familiar and completely unlike anything you’ve ever experienced?

With Bag of Donuts, you and your friends can reminisce without the nostalgia — as highly skilled musicians with a flair for the fantastical play all the classics. Together, these hits are what Bag of Donuts calls “Superpop,” a genre of “just the hits,” from the 1960s all the way through today, “suped” up in a new and exciting way. The party is contagious; as the guys on stage go wild in their outland- ish costumes, crowds of friends and strangers alike find themselves comfort- able letting loose. Bag of Donuts promises an atypical experience that audience members of all ages and types can groove to. Bag of Donuts will take your night to the next level. CODY WAYNE APRIL 30 A full-blown country red-dirt, high-energy concert, Cody Wayne and his band raise the bar and bring a party with every song. Wayne is wildly talented, energetic and thrives on entertaining crowds of all ages. Wayne got his start in entertainment as a United States Marine stationed overseas in Iwakumi, Ja- pan. He learned to play the guitar from his roommate, Ryan Turnipseed, on his off time. Singing always came naturally to Wayne, but he discovered a latent song- writing talent while enter- taining his comrades in the Corps. Wayne’s songs are heartfelt and reminiscent of his deep country roots in East Texas, the place he still calls home. Today, you’ll usually find Wayne on the road or up on stage. Wayne satisfies both current and classic country music fans with his impressive portfolio of original, hit music plus superb renditions of country music standards from Hank Williams Jr., Garth Brooks, Zac Brown Band and many more. A repertoire of medleys and sing-a-longs that engage the audience separates a Wayne show from all the others. During his live shows, Wayne uses a wireless microphone to free him- self to run about the stage and to engage the crowd, adding energy and arena rock theatrics to spice up a normally staid country music concert or dance hall. He has won Texas Country Music Awards’ “Entertainer of The Year” the past three years in a row. Every show includes top rock ballads and coun- try hits spanning the last four decades, and Wayne’s growing list of original music has captured a devoted fan base. Wayne is now an entertainment staple in Texas, thanks in part to his intense performance schedule and his contin- ued presence on the Texas Regional Radio Report and the CDX TRAC- Tion Texas music chart. His Texas radio singles, including “Makin’ Love in the Moonlight,” “Foot- prints on My Windshield,” “Take Me Drunk,” “Fly High” and “Addicted,” all achieved outstanding chart performance, earn- ing Wayne well-deserved respect throughout the country music industry. JON STORK APRIL 30 J on Stork is a young singer-songwriter whose “rockytonk” flare and soulful sound has made a name for himself in the Texas music scene and beyond. Stork was born and raised in Beasley. Growing up on the coastal plains and being from a musical family, he picked up a guitar after watching his older brother write, sing and perform in his band, Letters for June. As the years went by, he began following new types of music, along with styles, that started influencing the young talent. Texas-based artists, such as Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Roger Creager and more, began taking hold, and the writing of original material started to flow. Working three jobs while going to college in College Station, Stork began to play locally and try his hand at sharing those songs that had come out over time. Eventual- ly, Stork found himself working in different cities across the country. Ultimately, this moving and shaking returned him back to Houston with not only a drive to make music work but also a pocket full of songs that he had been compiling out on the road. He was given the ultima- tum of choosing between work and music, and the choice was made. Playing anywhere and everywhere, he found stability in regular gigs and paying shows around the area. Honing and learning as time went on, Stork recorded and released his debut EP, “In Your Radio,” in 2017, landing him among the top 10 artists on the iTunes country chart. Coming out summer of 2019, Stork’s first full- length album, “Radio Cowboy,” was released. As he tours and promotes his new album, he looks for- ward to having new music on the horizon. “I’m so excited for the future,” Stork said. “These songs are the best I’ve ever written. The next project is going to show how much I’ve grown and progressed as an artist and songwriter. I can’t wait for y’all to hear it!” MUSICIANS Continued » Page 9 CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Cody Wayne, Jon Stork and Bag of Donuts 10 | Galveston County Fair & Rodeo | April 2022Owned and operated by the Hayes family since 1972. www.hayesfuneralhome.com Traditional Services Cremation Services Markers and Monuments Pre-Arranged Services Out of Town Services Military Services 10412 Highway 6, Hitchcock, 409-925-3501 GRACE MEMORIAL PARK Pre-Arrangements Pre-Arrangements for burial spaces and funerals are a thoughtful gesture for your family members.
