Carolyn Wonderland & Shelley King
Get ready for a soul-stirring night of Texas blues magic with Carolyn Wonderland and Shelley King! Carolyn, a guitar-slinging powerhouse with Janis Joplin's soulful pipes and Stevie Ray Vaughan's fiery riffs, blends poet's wit with deep blues tradition. She's the first woman ever to join John Mayall's legendary Blues Breakers, touring the US and beyond.
Shelley King embodies Austin's iconic sound, mixing blues, rock, folk, country, soul, and gospel. Honored as Texas' Official State Artist-Musician by the legislature, she's snagged Austin Music Awards and tours over 180 shows a year worldwide with her killer band.
Together, they'll light up the stage with electric Southern blues, acoustic folk tangents, revved-up Cajun rock, and unstoppable energy—a true holiday treat from two Austin legends!
