What the Artists Have Said About PWP

"The Piney Woods House Concert is what a house concert should be. Relaxed, intimate, and fun. Just a guitar and your songs. It's as real as it gets." -- Hayes Carll

"Piney Woods Performances creates an authentic environment for an artist to really showcase his craft. It was the most rewarding experience I've ever had as a performer." -- Austin Collins

"I'd play Piney Woods twice a week if I could. Comfortable, quiet, and real. It's the kind of place where everything is tuned out but the songs." -- Ben Mallott

"I had a lovely time!" - Abra Moore

"The Piney Woods show was a great change of pace for me. It feels so gratifying to step out of the bar scene, sit down and just play and sing for a room full of people that respect what I do. Everyone there is appreciative and respectful of good music and I'm glad to be made a part of it." -- Adam Hood

"Piney Woods is the ultimate in casual yet intense performing environments. The patrons, Jamie and Katren, have all the bases covered for a relaxed and intimate performance. The crowd was stellar, as they listened intently and were easily involved in the show and generous with applause. Even the homey, rustic room itself feels warm and inviting and also sounds great with no amplification whatsoever. I'll pass to Piney Woods the same compliment that I received during my performance there: Better than Bluebell!" -- Kevin Carroll

"If you're a traveling musician, I can't think of any better way to spend a summer night in Texas than at a Piney Woods Performances...An attentive, enthusiastic crowd, with gracious hosts, a bottomless bucket of cold Texas beer, and in a comfy room, is the perfect way for an artist to have their songs heard." - Stephen Simmons

"The best Texas house concert we have played in 2 years, with a vibrant intimacy I can't wait to see again." -- Gordie Tentrees

"As soon as I drove up and saw the tall trees and the open house (the game room has one wall that completely opens to the yard) and the people lounging about on the deck, I knew this night would be fun... I really do love to play without a soundsystem, no cumbersome cords or sound checks just the true resonance of a song sung to appreciative ears in a room custom made for music complete with a cat and some fish... a great musical experience for me!" -- Cindy Kalmenson

"Thanks y'all" -- Adam Carroll

"It is so much fun to play music for people who love music. Keep up the great work and thanks again for providing a great listening environment for some of the area's most talented singer/songwriters (and even me). We look forward to seeing you guys again soon." -- Scott Melott and The Dead End Angels

"At Piney Woods, James and Katren made me feel like a big star and made me feel like part of the family, all at the same time. I would come back anytime." -- Darryl Purpose
