Original Singer/Songwriter Folk Music
Concert Calendar 10th Anniversary
Dedicated to the Memory of Rocky Fugate
|
|
Our small, intimate, smoke-free and alcohol-free
"Coffeehouse" music room is host to
singer/songwriters from all over the country
who stop in Edom to entertain with their original
music. With concerts approximately once each
month, most of the money collected for ticket
sales will go to the artist. Coffee, Soft Drinks,
and Desserts are available before and during
the concerts.
ADMISSION POLICY:
Since our room is relatively small (around 50-70
seats), we strongly recommend purchasing
your tickets in advance to insure seating.
If you purchase in advance, you will be on the
"Early Entry List" and be the first
to enter the music room! Admission prices are
indicated for each concert. Advance ticket purchases
can be made up to the day before the concert
using the paypal button or by calling 903-852-2781
to arrange payment by check or by credit card.
Checks must be received no later than 2 days
prior to the concert (along with contact info
in the event the concert is already sold out).
Paypal and Credit Card payments will incur a
service fee (amount indicated in each concert
description) to cover the cost of processing
and any other fees (so that performers will
still get the full admission). PLEASE NOTE that
we are NOT a non-profit organization so any
donations are NOT tax-deductible. In order to
maintain a quiet listening environment, we ask
that members of our audience please be over
13 years of age unless otherwise indicated.
COME
EARLY - ENJOY EDOM!
Visit our galleries and shops
Have lunch or dinner in one of our restaurants
Spend the night in one of our B&Bs
The Old Firehouse is a "labor
of love" brought to you by Jeff & Judy
Gottesman. While we are not a "not for
profit" organization, we still need to
make a small profit in order to cover our expenses.
Please consider making a donation to enable
us to continue bringing the music we all love
to Edom. Donations are NOT tax-deductible, but
sure help us make ends meet. Thanks.....Jeff
& Judy

With music that reflects his
real life, real people, and the landscapes
shaping their destinies, Tony Ramey embodies
the substantive American soul. His music doesn't
fit into any specific category...country,
folk, or americana...but based on previous
audience reactions, whatever it is gets a
standing ovation every time.
Tony Ramey grew up in West Virginia on Bluegrass
and Bill Withers, found Willie, Waylon, Cash,
and Kristofferson at eleven (who fueled an
already firy passion to write songs), then
he heard Steve Earle whose songs convinced
him to move to "Guitar Town" (Nashville)
to hone his craft. He would eventually leave
for Texas when the road called him out again...
With the release of his 11th album, Ramey
has the respect of industry folk, and keeps
growing his audience with his undeniable prowess
as a singer/songwriter. His tour schedule
and his passion for performing are evidence
that he prefers the troubadour life-style.
We are thrilled to have him return to The
Old Firehouse as he always fills the house
with happy listeners.

BrownRandy
Imagine if Charles Darwin met Guy Clark and
Van Morrison at an MIT barbecue in honor of
Albert Einstein’s birthday and you’ll
have some sense of the smartly clever mind
and music of BrownRandy. After an 8 year career
with Jealousy Motel producing 2 CDs and a
great deal of success, BrownRandy decided
that a solo career fit him better and in the
past 11 years he's won a number of songwriting
awards as well as recording 2 solo CDs.
He once again brings some friends to The
Old Firehouse to perform “in the round.”
The last time we entertained this kind of
format, the house was full and the audience
couldn'tget enough.
Neal Katz (www.katzmusic.com)
Neal Katz has been making folk music for over
twenty-five years. Originally from Virginia
Beach, VA, he is now a local folk musician
who performs his music at coffee-houses, folk
festivals, living room concerts, and more.
Over the years, Neal has been an opening act
for a number of popular musicians as they
passed through East Texas. He was also a regular
at local venues in Tyler, and has played at
coffeehouses in other parts of Texas, Oklahoma,
Ohio, and Virginia.
In 2009, Neal released "Day Will Come,"
his debut folk CD filled with 13 original
songs, and in 2010, he was chosen as a finalist
for the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk
Competition.
Connie Mims
Connie Mims began her career in Houston in
the seventies with the Texas band WHEATFIELD
which evolved into the band ST. ELMO'S FIRE.
After disbanding in 1979, Connie pursued a
solo career as a performing songwriter and
studio vocalist, appearing on numerous radio
ads and in the classic Blue Bell Ice Cream
TV commercial, "Texas Musicians".
Her discography includes two albums, "Go
Deep"(2008), and “Gettin’ There”
(2012). In 2009, she was awarded “Singer/Songwriter
of the Year”, by the Academy of Texas
Music, the first woman to receive the honor
and in 2015, she was voted The Best Singer/Songwriter
of Upper East Texas by a reader’s poll
in County Line Magazine.

Beth Wood is a modern-day troubadour
and believer in the power of song. Her exceptional
musicianship, crafty songwriting, and commanding
stage presence have been winning over American
audiences for eighteen years. Beth’s
music is soulful, organic, intelligent, barefoot,
high-energy communication of joy.
Beth began writing her own songs in Austin,
after taking a detour from her classical music
studies, where she picked up a degree in literature
and guitar. She quickly discovered a feeling
of musical freedom that she has been hooked
on ever since.
She just completed her 11th CD after 20 years
on the road, and we are thrilled to have her
back at The Old Firehouse for a special “Turkey
Show” to introduce this new album which
definitely is NOT a turkey!
“Beth Wood is a musical
triple-threat —
a thoughtful songwriter and talented multi-instrumentalist
with a supple, soulful voice.”
Washington Post
“Lord have mercy…Wood
is a down-home, old-fashioned girl with a
wicked streak”

Tom Prasada-Rao is a musician's
musician - an unassuming presence on the folk
scene since the early nineties. His rich,
effortless voice belies his fine musicianship
and extraordinary songs. From Rishi’s
Garden with it’s homage to Ravi Shankar
to the groove of Sleeping Beauty, Tom’s
music is melodic, ambitious, and reverent.
From headlining major festivals 15 years
ago, to the relative obscurity of a recording
studio - Tom continues to mature as an artist.
That work blossomed into an impressive resume
of producing credits as well as cuts (his
songs covered by other artists).
He's touring again after being featured on
the nationally syndicated TV show Troubadour
Texas and we're thrilled to have him back
on our stage for the fourth time!
