The Old
Firehouse
8241 FM 279 - Downtown Edom, TX 75754 - (903)
852-ART1(2781)
Original Singer/Songwriter Folk Music
Concert Calendar
|
|
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
Check
out the new Edom Gallery & Cafe
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

Across his three indie releases, internationally
touring Nashville-based singer-songwriter
Robby Hecht has distinguished himself as the
second coming of James Taylor, or a gentler
Damien Jurado. But,whatever the comparison,
it’s hard to miss that his songwriting
is distinct and individual. He doesn’t
shy from the obvious rhyme, but manages it
with a delicate audacity, placing it only
where it best serves the story or the mood.
"Robby Hecht sings like a whisper,
like a hesitant truth that simply can’t
go unsung anymore. His songs can invoke starry
nights and fog rolling in on the beach. Lights
turning off. Front porch silences and morning
walks alone. Holding hands for the first time,
letting go for the last."
—Kim Ruehl, No Depression
Robby has won many prestigious performing
songwriter awards including Kerrville New
Folk, Telluride Troubadour and the Rocky Mountain
Folks Fest Songwriting Competition.

Comfort food in musical form, delivered with
an angel's voice. It's what you'd want to
hear while sharing a warm blueberry muffin
with a dear friend, or settling down in your
favorite chair for a delicious nap. It is
the music you want while you pet a purring
cat. It is deeply thoughtful, yet confident,
rousing. It stirs you to be the person you
want to be.
That's Jen!
Jen hails from the tiny mountain town of Idyllwild,
California, where the mayor is a golden retriever.
She has been writing songs and performing
them in various venues for nearly a decade.
Among her accolades in 2014, she was the winner
of the Walnut Valley Festival Newsongs Competition,
Finalist at the Tumbleweed Music Festival
in Richland, WA, Finalist at the San Diego
County Fair Singer/Songwriter Competition,
and Finalist at the Wildflower! Art and Music
Festival Performing Songwriter Competition
in Richardson, TX.

(Grady
Yates opens)
Our
First Concert of Acoustic Country Music!!

Tony Ramey
A poet at heart, Tony Ramey began writing
at the young age of ten, learned to play guitar
and put his words to music when he was sixteen,
and sang and wrote his way through the Master's
program in English Literature at Marshall
University before he took the next step and
headed to Nashville
Tony has been an award-winning literary scholar,
a college professor, an award-winning songwriter,
and is one of the most successful artists
on the Texas music scene today. His repertoire
of songs reaches over 1,800 in number and
his songwriting career spans sixteen years
as a professional.
Drawn to the soul and pureness of Tony Ramey's
voice, lovers of almost any style of music
enjoy the eclectic elements in his songs.
While Tony still explores the story-driven
Country and Country and Western motifs, Blues,
R&B, and Contemporary Folk widely color
his most recent body of work as well. Tony's
performances are fresh, unapologetically powerful,
thought-provoking experiences.
Grady Yates
Grady grew up along the banks of the Mississippi,
in Saint Louis Missouri. For some reason,
he and his childhood friends always had a
big stack of Texas artists records alongside
their other musical influences. This was probably
due to the early days of Austin City Limits;
a nationwide PBS staple that was about the
only live music on TV back then. Hearing the
songs of Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker,
Rusty Wier and other Texas based singer-songwriters,
Grady knew where his musical muse would lead
him some day. He made the move from Missouri
to Texas in 1980.
His songwriting is a blend of those Texas
legends; along with Guy Clark, James Taylor,
and a dose of Nanci Griffith. His stories
are often personal, sometimes historical,
and a few a blend of legend and dreams.
