Update  from the president.

Thanks to Sugar Bayou for a great show to a sold-out Bugle Boy audience on Saturday, January 10! This delightful, high-energy concert was made possible in part due to a group of about 46 members of the Texas Jewish Historical Society, meeting in La Grange for the weekend, who all came together for an evening of great music and fun at The Bugle Boy. You can do this, too. Let Lane help you plan a special show for your company or your favorite organization, certain to please everyone in your group. As a fan of The Bugle Boy, you can be the one to introduce many of your friends and associates to The Best Little Listening Room in Texas.

Also in early 2009: Kevin Welch kicked off the new year in style on January 2. On Friday, January 16 we host a magical songwriters night with Woody Russell and Elizabeth Wills. The next evening, Saturday, January 17, The Bugle Boy celebrates its fourth anniversary with Doug Fesler and Matt Harlan. The popular Showcase Sunday series for aspiring professionals begins again on January 18 at 1:30 PM, so come out and hear some great new talent. On Sunday, February 1 Eliza Gilkyson is here for her annual show. Get your tickets now for Sunday, February 15 when we’ll be hosting our first benefit show for the Bugle Boy Foundation, featuring Americana Music hero, famous Canadian singer/songrwriter Fred Eaglesmith and his band. A special feature will be the auction of a beautiful guitar, autographed by numerous great artists who’ve played The Bugle Boy over the past year. The live auction will be during the break, and this unique instrument will go home with the lucky highest bidder. All proceeds from the auction will go to the Gardenia E. Janssen Animal Shelter serving Fayette County.

Check the BB website for a complete lineup of coming artists, and get your tickets soon, and often. Bring some friends and again, THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
