Thursday, June 4, 2026
Natalie's Grandview
Kieran Kane and Rayna Gellert are touring behind their latest album—simply titled Volume 4—which captures their less-is-more philosophy, but with some fresh twists.
Volume 4 digs into the duo’s musical past while adding fresh elements of collaboration. Lucas Kane (of Kane Welch Kaplin and Go Jane Go) contributes understated percussion to several tracks, and among the songs is a recent co-write with celebrated songwriter David Francey. Highlighting Rayna’s history as a premier old-time fiddle player with the inclusion of a couple traditional instrumentals, Volume 4 also documents versions of older songs of Kieran’s that have become crowd favorites from the duo’s shows—as well as some recently uncovered gems from a batch of “lost” demos. This new collection presents an intimate snapshot of Kieran and Rayna’s minimalist musical journey.
An Evening With Kelly Willis and Radney Foster
Saturday, June 13, 2026
Natalie's Grandview
“Kelly Willis is a gifted songwriter and has one of the best voices in American music. I love performing with her, and can’t wait to be on stage with her again.”
– Radney Foster
“Radney Foster is the kind of songwriter that makes you realize some people are wired differently. That they can find the poetry in the everyday experiences and set them to a melody that you can’t get out of your head. The whole room sings along or cries along. And I’m swept up right there with them. Not to mention, he sings his ass off. And I love singing with him.”
– Kelly Willis
RADNEY FOSTER
Radney Foster first gained attention as half of the duo Foster & Lloyd, who with “Crazy Over You” became the first duo in history to top the Country charts with their debut single. He then established himself as a solo artist in the early 90’s with his critically acclaimed release Del Rio, Texas 1959.
Known as a songwriter’s songwriter, his songs have been recorded by everyone from Keith Urban and the Chicks to Hootie & the Blowfish and George Benson. His own hits like “Just Call Me Lonesome,” “Nobody Wins,” and “Texas In 1880” continue to be played on radio and by bands around the world.
His most recent project For You To See The Stars is in two parts, a book of short fiction, and a collection of songs to go with it. He is currently working on another book of fiction, as well as developing film and TV projects.
KELLY WILLIS
Singer-songwriter Kelly Willis captured critical acclaim from her first release, with a distinctive voice that conveys both tender heartache and smoldering heat. Born in Oklahoma, she moved often as a kid with her Army Colonel dad. She started singing professionally at 16, fronting the rockabilly band “Kelly and the Fireballs” in the DC area, but it soon became clear she was more of a country singer. After high school, she moved to Austin and It wasn’t long before she got on the radar of MCA’s Tony Brown, who signed her after an introduction by Nanci Griffith.
Kelly’s recording career began at a time when Nashville was experiencing a creative resurgence with the likes of Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, Foster & Lloyd and The O’Kanes. She recorded three albums for MCA that were critical hits, but it wasn’t until she left the major label restrictions behind that she came into her own with 1999’s What I Deserve for Rykodisc.
The albums Willis has made since What I Deserve have only burnished her reputation as Austin’s reigning queen of Americana, including being inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame. When not performing her own music, Kelly tours with Brennan Leigh and Melissa Carper as Wonder Women of Country, in support of their 2023 self-titled EP.

The Shootouts
Saturday, July 25, 2026
Natalie's Grandview
Formed in Akron, Ohio, in October 2015, The Shootouts have grown into one of the most acclaimed roots-country bands in America, forging a sound that Rolling Stone hailed as “perfect rustbelt country.”
Blending honky-tonk grit with Americana storytelling, the band released their debut album, Quick Draw, in 2019, followed by Bullseye (2021), Stampede (2023), and Switchback (2025). Along the way, they’ve earned multiple award nominations, national press, and a reputation as tireless road warriors with a powerful live show.
Their breakthrough came with Stampede, co-produced by Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel. It became a Top 10 Americana album and reached #4 on the Americana Radio charts, while the band was named a “Country Artist to Watch” by Nashville Scene.
In 2023, The Shootouts made their Grand Ole Opry debut and have since performed on the Opry stage 13 times. They followed that milestone with a Ryman Auditorium debut in 2025 during the Opry 100 celebrations. Their Opry debut outfits were later added to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s “Cleveland Rocks” exhibit—an uncommon honor for a contemporary country band.
The band’s most recent album, Switchback (2025), produced by Dan Knobler, features an all-star cast including Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Sam Bush, Logan Ledger, Lindsay Lou, and Mickey Raphael. The album hit #4 on the Americana Radio Album Chart and remained in the Top 20 for 19 weeks, prompting Rolling Stone to declare it “the sleeper Americana LP of the summer.”
With collaborations spanning legends like Rhonda Vincent, Marty Stuart, Chuck Mead, Raul Malo, and Buddy Miller—and performances alongside artists such as Steve Earle, Sheryl Crow, and Charley Crockett—The Shootouts continue to carve out a singular place in modern American roots music.
Bill Kirchen
Wednesday, August 5, 2026
Natalie's Grandview
Grammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter and multi Wammie winner Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step onto any stage, play those trademark licks that drove his Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten, and elicit instant recognition for a career that has spanned over 50 years and includes guitar work with Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Doug Sahm, Elvis Costello and many more. Named “A Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates an American musical tradition where rock ‘n’ roll draws upon its origins in country music, blues and bluegrass, Western swing from Texas and California honky-tonk.
Rodney Crowell
Saturday, August 15, 2026
Natalie's Grandview
Rodney Crowell is the songwriter’s songwriter and an icon among giants. Native Texan, Crowell is a multi-Grammy Award-winning troubadour with fifteen number one hits. Over the course of his career, Crowell has gracefully blended his own mainstream success as an artist with a prolific catalog of songs cut by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Keith Urban and more, making him a master among his peers.
With more than 40 years of American roots music under his belt, Crowell has also been cited as the architect of Americana music, extending his genre reach, but owing to the distinctly universal, literary quality of his writing, he has also penned beloved songs for artists as diverse as Bob Seger, Etta James, the Grateful Dead, John Denver, Jimmy Buffett and countless others.
A member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Crowell is also the author of the acclaimed memoir, Chinaberry Sidewalks, and teamed up with New York Times best-selling author Mary Karr for Kin: Songs by Mary Karr & Rodney Crowell in 2012, with Karr saying of her collaborator, “Like Hank Williams or Townes Van Zandt or Miss Lucinda, he writes and croons with a poet’s economy and a well digger’s deep heart.” Crowell was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award in 2017, and that same year released the album Close Ties, which spawned another Grammy nomination for “It Ain’t Over Yet” with Rosanne Cash and John Paul White in the category of Best Americana Song. 2019’s Texas was a collection of Lone Star-centric collaborations with Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Ronnie Dunn, Steve Earle, and more, and Crowell’s most recent album release is the 2021 set, Triage.
Crowell came up in Nashville’s songwriting heyday alongside Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, and Steve Earle and has continued that legacy of camaraderie and kinship with his peers well into the iconic era of his career. As many say – “your favorite song was probably written by Rodney Crowell.”
Crowell has four daughters and lives with his wife and dog in Tennessee. He writes every day and loves tending to his garden.
Guy Clark Texas Cookin' Festival
Documentary Screening + Live Music from Shawn Camp and Verlon Thompson
Sunday, August 16, 2026
Natalie's Grandview
It’s the 50th Anniversary of Guy Clark’s Texas Cookin’!
Zeppelin Productions along with Bob Teague and Friends present a special celebration of Guy Clark at Natalie’s Grandview!
The event begins with a screening of documentary Without Getting Killed or Caught that covers the true story of Guy Clark—the dean of Texan songwriters whose distinct, poetic take on American folk and country music elevated him from obscurity to reverence. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has had his songs covered by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and others.
Tamara Saviano’s film follows the story of Clark, his wife Susanna Clark, and his friend, singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt with never-before-seen exclusive interviews as Saviano had Clark’s complete cooperation before his death in 2016. Featuring the voice of Sissy Spacek, the film speaks from Susanna Clark’s perspective while offering poignant reflections from Guy Clark’s closest friends and musical allies like Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Vince Gill, Verlon Thompson, and Terry and Jo Harvey Allen, as well as record executive Barry Poss.
Immediately following the screening, host Alec Wightman (Zeppelin Productions) will be joined in conversation by Tamara Saviano – the filmmaker behind Without Getting Killed or Caught, longtime friend, collaborator and current President and Creative Director of the Guy Clark Foundation.
The Natalie’s kitchen will be cookin’ up something special! A tasty Texas Cookin’ inspired meal will be available to order along with the full Natalie’s menu.
And to cap off the evening, a very special performance by Verlon Thompson and Shawn Camp!
It was just another one of Guy Clark’s keen ideas to introduce the “Okie” and “Arkansawyer”. He knew them both well but they didn’t know each other when they all took the stage that night in Little Rock over twenty years ago. With Camp on his left and Thompson on his right, Guy broke into “Texas Cookin’”. When the smoke cleared a couple of hours later, a strong and steady friendship was born.
Thompson continued performing with Guy Clark on the road with Camp joining them when he wasn’t busy writing hit songs and touring behind his own releases. Guy always said he’d “hire Shawn full time if I could afford him!”
The names Camp and Thompson appear on many Guy Clark recordings as well.
Thompson collaborated with Clark on the title track of the 1992 “Boats to Build” album and shared co-producer credits on several projects including “Workbench Songs” and “Somedays the Song Writes You”, both Grammy nominated for Best Contemporary Folk album.
Camp won the Americana Album of the Year Award for co-producing “This One’s For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark” and then went on to win a Grammy for producing Clark’s “My Favorite Picture Of You”.
