ANNOUNCING A FEW CONFIRMED ARTISTS FOR 2011 FESTIVAL:

The Houston Women’s Music Festival has always brought top notch artists to play. Many have gone on to great success. Vicci Martinez comes to mind.  She performed at the 2009 festival

Vicci Martinez, though petite in build, stood tall as a finalist in front of 14 million viewers on NBC’s summer hit show “The Voice”.  Since then, she’s been on a national tour playing big theaters, she’s signed a record deal with Universal Republic (and is recording as we speak) plus she signed on with one of the most prestigious talent booking agencies in the country; William Morris Entertainment.

We saw her enormous talent and we seized the opportunity to present her. The same goes for Sick of Sarah.  We saw that they were going to be big and just about to explode and we were right. Now they have videos on MTV, they’ve been featured in national publications and they perform at mega festivals.

We have a keen eye for talent, we watch out for artists on the rise and when all the stars align we are able to bring them to the Houston Women’s Music Festival. The point is just because you’ve never heard of an artist that we present doesn’t mean a thing because any one that sets foot on our stage could be the next big thing.

It’s going to be a great journey for discovering new sounds for Houston music fans.

We’re thrilled to confirm that local Houston favorite, Paige Lewis will perform at this year’s festival.

Riding high from a sold out CD release, new fans and old are in for a real treat as Paige brings her full band to the festival night stage under the October sky.  Get tickets to see Paige and other great artists; only $15 available here on the site. 

Note from producer:

I first heard Paige Lewis during a solo performance on a side stage at the 2006 Houston Women’s Music Festival.  I was in the midst of a task that I don’t recall but I surely wasn’t listening to the music. But even as I was in deep focus on the task at hand, I managed to hear something that caught my attention. It was a song that had real pop sensibility with great lyrics and a fine voice behind it. I stopped for a moment to watch and listen. I asked someone who the singer was.  The voice and the artist was Paige Lewis. I smiled and thought; she belongs on the big stage. http://www.thepaige.com/

A story from the road by GBmojo’s Ginger Doss and Bekah Kelso.

One year at FriendsFest, a women’s event in Dripping Springs TX, Ginger and Bekah’s 4×6 trailer got completely stuck in the mud.  A roving band of tough chicks came by to offer their help.  After many failed attempts at getting it out, one particularly buff gal picked up the hitch and slowly heaved the trailer to drier land so that the truck could get to it.  It was like watching a strong-man competition.  Only instead of logs and tires and dudes, it was music gear and trailers and chicks.  Pretty epic.

GBmojo will be featured at this year’s festival. They are amazing artists you won’t want to miss.

Bekah Kelso just released her EP “Departures” and calls it a “full bodied roast of indie-pop with lingering notes of gypsy soul and hip hop.”

Ginger Doss is currently out on the road, recording tracks in her mobile Pro-Tools studio for her latest upcoming CD, ‘From Love to Love’ which is set for release soon.

You can save by purchasing advance tickets at “The Shop” hair salon. It’s located at the corner of Westheimer and Commonwealth.  The total ticket price is $16 (service fee is included within the price).
