Featured guests are Chuck Hawthorne\, a veteran with 21 years of military service\, and Libby Koch\, known for her true country voice. Hawthorne developed his music in Texas and on board the USS Iwo Jima. He sings about people he knew in his hometown\, on numerous deployments\, and many points in between. Libby Koch’s Americana sound blends the songwriting soul of classic country music with gospel roots\, a rock edge\, and the storytelling sensibility of a Texas folk troubadour. She delivers each song with powerful vocals in the style of her idols – Dolly\, Emmylou\, Patsy – but with her own signature voice. \nAdding his original and often humorous songs to those of his guests\, Wellfed draws on folk\, bluegrass\, and a plethora of other influences. He founded the Sweet Home Music Fest\, which gave artists a platform for original music while raising funds for several community causes. \nMusic Night at the HOG is held the 2nd Monday of every month. In the relaxed atmosphere\, the performers interact with the audience\, entertaining questions and sharing insight into their music. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM. Bring your own drinks. Ice and cups provided. Checks and cash accepted for $10 door fee. \nFor more information contact jd@thewellfeds.com. \nThe Hallet Oak Gallery is located at the Kahn & Stanzel Building (K&S)\, 115 N.

Featured guests will be Jarrod Birmingham and Jeremy Halliburton. Jarrod Birmingham has been compared to Hank Williams as a country traditionalist. Birmingham believes “…country music should reflect the common people. 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.” \nJoining in the camaraderie with Wellfed and Birmingham will be Jeremy Halliburton. With a background in radio\, Halliburton has been nominated for Record of the Year and DJ of the Year at the My Texas Music Awards.

JD founded the Sweet Home Music Fest\, which gave artists a platform for original music while raising funds for several community causes. \nJoin in the relaxed atmosphere every second Monday of the month at the Gallery. The performers interact with the audience\, entertaining questions and sharing insight into their music. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Bring your own drinks. Ice and cups provided.
