GARY GRAVES
GARY GRAVES
. . . The music of Austinite Gary Graves has been called “a slow burning
love letter to the human condition."
Having performed in Austin for more than ten years, Gary was open mic
host at Cactus Cafe, and has opened for artists such as Alejandro Escovedo,
Ruthie Foster, and Eliza Gilkyson. He performs at many venues in and around
Austin.
His music is deeply searching and introspective, as reflected in his new album
"Till the End of Time."
With his music, his special style of singing, and his rhythm, he has the
ability to bring out the pulse of power and desire; take us into to the depth
of loneliness; and cry out about the injustices in this world.
With Gary, the audience goes through a celestial, primal, and Spiritual experience.

She picked up electric guitar at an early age but put the instrument down to complete studies in college. Recently in 2011, she began writing and singing songs along with playing her acoustic guitar.

Alexander Camargo is a young drummer from San Antonio with jazz influenced beats that keep evolving into more. Music was installed at an early age and the passion to play music continues to flow from within.

As the trio goes from their second year together, they are continuing to find their sound while they keep growing with the acoustic set.

. . . Is based in Austin and performs her music locally and internationally. Anyah creates an atmosphere of peace & empowerment. She started her music career in San Angelo, Texas and began singing gospel music on televised programs. After graduating, she moved to Austin, TX and was asked to join country western bands as lead vocalist and in the process met up with Lord Byron/Kade Iman from Trinidad. Lord Byron helped her re-write her folk songs into a reggae style! She performed with Lord Byron and his band, for a while until he moved. She entered singer/songwriter contests in Austin, and was able to sing at the "Armadillo Headquarters" at the singer/songwriter contests right before they closed down. Because of her job, she bounced back and forth from Austin to Houston and joined a Celtic Reggae and Rock Band called, "The Celtic Knot" as vocalist and keyboard player performing in the Renaissance/Celtic circuit of Houston. She began solo performances with a different ambient style music influenced by Peter Gabriel, Sinead O'Conner and other celtic ambient music performers. She started studying with indigenous elders from American Indian Hopi and then Cherokee and traveled to Peru and learned from the Incan tradition and then studied with a Nigerian priest and began writing more songs in the different sacred languages. She then acquired many ethnic drums and started learning how to drum for the healing shamanic journeying and has assisted the indigenous during ceremonies and played in drum circles in and around Austin.
Along with performing she enrolled in the Houston Art Institute for Music and Video Business and produced educational training video series for a company out of New York. That spawned her into becoming a TV producer, music producer, and she continues to be an international performer.
She performs original music in auditoriums, cathedrals, art galleries, coffee houses, retreats, farmer's markets and multi-cultural events. Her music is used in a therapy called "Vibro-Acoustics" where the music is conducted into frequency mats placed under the body on a flat surface, and where the frequencies from the music travel up and down the spinal column and body while listening on some great headphones! This Vibro-Acoustic therapy assists the body, spirit and mind in a healing process.
Her latest music CD of nine CD's, "The Chariot", features King of Pearls-Oliver Rajamani and Sean Michael Orr of Austin, Texas. In her producer work, she has produced audio CD's for poets, for other musicians, yoga instructors, and instrumental/vocal and spoken meditation CD's.

She is the creator of PEACE WAVES concert a peace building venture by way of performance arts, cultural arts and education.
