"It's hard to describe just how good Michael Hearne really is. His guitar work, singing and songwriting are really superb. ... Hearne is probably the best example of 'The Southwest Sound'. He is also probably the best Country musician who doesn't have a major label recording and touring contract." - J.R. Ransom , Taos Music.com
"South By Southwest remain one of America's treasures and favorite live bands." - MusicNashville.com
"Rex Warren doesn't shout his convictions so much as express them in a soothing manner befitting a front porch conversation while watching a Southwestern sunset." - Richard Skanse Texas Music

Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Welcome to Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. People everywhere are joined together in his memory, for what he stood and fought for, and died for, and now in that spirit we are united in support of the people of Haiti in their hour of suffering and need. Don't think for a minute that your thoughts and prayers and donations aren't important, they are each and every one. As we carry on about our days lets not forget how fortunate we are and share that good fortune as we can.
On Saturday March 13th, The Desert Dogs will make their pilgrimage to Waco Texas for the 5th Annual St. Patties Day Party, at Nelsons' Banquet Hall,(nelsonsbanquethall.com ) located at 414 Franklin Ave 254-714-1114.
This party has grown to capacity over the years with folks coming from Oklahoma , Colorado, New Mexico the Texas Panhandle and beyond. If you would like to attend please call ahead and let Nelson and his wife Anne know. There is no cover. Nelson throws this bash every year just because he's a hell of a nice guy and he likes to party!
Nelson and I went to high school together and have stayed close friends thought our lives. I lived in Waco with Nelson back in our younger and wilder days, and have many fond memories of Waco and Nelson. I used to play at a now defunct resteraunt there called Water Works, and got to meet and play music with some of the Texas Legends,BW Stevenson, Rusty Wier, Vince Bell, Craig Calvert and Steven Fromholz.
Life on this Earth has been made so much sweeter 'cause of my life long friend Nelson Rue. Come and party with the Dogs, Old ones, Lucky ones and Desert ones. Be sure and book your hotel rooms in advance cause you can't stay at Nelsons'.
