  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    Margo Price, Paul Cauthen

    Country music’s been waiting maybe decades for Margo Price, 34. True crossover act by virtue of recording for Jack White’s Third Man Records, she’s a rising singer-songwriter to the indie intelligentsia, but a contemporary Loretta Lynn for twang planet. October’s All American Made bested her breakout 2016 debut Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, proof of which might be found in its Willie Nelson duet, “Learning to Lose.”: “We recorded that song at Sam Phillips [Recording in Memphis], then we asked Willie if he would sing on it,” she recounts. “He said, ‘Yeah, of course,’ so I came down there to his studio in Spicewood, out by his golf course and home outside of Austin. Oh, it was just so cool. The guitar was already set up; Trigger was there in his stand.: “He came in and was in a great mood. He was also working on God’s Problem Child that day, his record, so I got to hear all of that before it was released. Mickey Raphael, his harmonica player, also played on our track. We just had such a great day.”: By necessity, most Willie duets happen digitally – not in person.: “Willie was real encouraging to my husband and I both. He said, ‘This is a great song,’ and did a lot of takes. He did so many good guitar takes, too, that we had a hard time picking what solo we were going to use. We spent six hours one day just listening to everything he had done. I had tears of joy streaming down my face listening back.: Read our full Q&A with Margo Price.
