Mark Jungers
About the closest today's crop of country and roots-music songwriters get to cattle and cornstalks are burgers and bags of tortilla chips. Thank goodness, then, for Minnesota farm-bred/Martindale-based Mark Jungers.
While he still knows something about busting sod, Jungers is a first-class songwriter and storyteller; an Americana pioneer who worked with the band Hell's Cafe before the Americana genre had a name and a record chart.
Songs about bovine/human disaster (50 Head) and grandfatherly advice (Swinging in the Wind) come naturally to Jungers. But so do songs about faith, shaken and otherwise (Show Me a Sign), heartache (Wasn't Thinking), love (Leaving With a Friend) and a good dog (Daisy).
Working with a road-tested band and guests including songwriters Susan Gibson and Adam Carroll, Jungers crafts music that fits; music that can rock and twang; music that adds punch and dynamics; music that's as organic, honest and homegrown as the words.
Jungers makes lyrics and music for town and country.

Sour Bridges
Brewed with the best ingredients from the high plains of Texas, the hills of Pennsylvania, and the red dirt of Oklahoma, Sour Bridges is the finest blend of hand clapping, foot stomping Browngrass that Austin has to offer.
What's Browngrass?
It's like bluegrass, just a little dirtier. With aroma notes ranging from The Byrds to the Beatles, Sour Bridges is an unparalleled mesh of flavor explosion. Pull up a chair and pour you a glass. Sour Bridges always goes down smooth.

Susan Gibson
"Susan has spent more than a decade crafting great songs that share (and usually exceed) the qualities that made "Wide Open Spaces" such a hit - authenticity, wit, and themes to which just about anyone with a heartbeat can relate." - No Depression Review
"There’s the one single element that’s remained true and consistent throughout: her easy-going believability that cuts straight through pretentiousness or fraudulent emotions. It cuts to the core of the human experience. At times it’s bold and brave. At others, she’s incredibly honest with a glimpse of those insecurities, intimate details, and exposed feelings that we all encounter from time to time. " - New Slang Lubbock Interview
"Gibson, as she did with her smash "Wide Open Spaces," strikes strong emotional chords without getting sappy, and celebrates life and love without resorting to platitudes." - Jim Beal, Jr. - San Antonio Express News
