Lineup:

MOBLEY Sensational one-man band

“He’s relentless, both in his pursuit of perfection and in his determination to entertain. Mobley, a singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist… makes soaring and soulful pop music, as he’s honed his craft, his profile has soared.” – Jeff McCord, KUTX Music Director

Robert A. Kraft, Blues and soul singer, Executive Director of the Bastrop Live Music Foundation

Shakes & Chills fiery punk band

…and a very special drag performance by Vida Santina

The American Revolution was a stand against tyranny and kings. That same spirit has lived on—from the Boston Tea Party to the Underground Railroad, from Stonewall to the Civil Rights Movement. Join the civil rights movement of our generation. Freedom for EVERY TEXAN.
