Ray Wylie Hubbard is the secret handshake amongst those who know. Earthy, real, funky, unabashed, his records have been swapped and played on the road by everyone from Blackberry Smoke and Georgia Satellites to Black Stone Cherry. “Snake Farm” alone could be the red-blooded touring male’s reality-based point of connection.
That passion for the man who’s as much a renegade poet as a roadhouse saint brought together an eclectic mix of guests for Co-Starring, his first ever high-profile label release. Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Ronnie Dunn, Don Was, Larkin Poe, Pam Tillis and The Cadillac Three were just a few who clamored to jam, sing and generally be in the studio with the wizened icon.
The Austin Music and Eric Church-inducted Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Famer was born in Soper, Oklahoma, went to high school with cosmic cowboy Michael Martin Murphey and spent his summers playing folk music in Red River, New Mexico. It all added to an iconoclastic, hell-bent for truths and textures in writing about the way outlaws live – and added to his outlier bona fides that he made 16 albums without ever signing to a major label.
That’s all about to change for the go-to songwriter for Lucinda Williams, Hayes Carll, Pat Green, Jerry Jeff Walker, Waylon Jennings, Slaid Cleaves and Willie Nelson. Whether it’s bluegrass/folk legend Peter Rowan on the tender “Hummingbird,” emerging Nashville renegade Ashley McBryde on the tough girl homage “Outlaw Blood,” SiriusXM femme fatales Paula Nelson and Elizabeth Cook on the randy “Drink ‘Til I See Double” or the trippy rocker Aaron Lee Tasjan on the elegiac “Rock Gods,” Co-Starring is a supple, musky affair.

November 21
7:30 PM
The Cultural Activities Center welcomes the Eli Young Band for a Flagship concert for the 2026 Texas Music Series.
What goes around comes around, and nearly 25 years since their founding in Denton, Texas, multi- Platinum country band Eli Young Band have come home. Led by an unmistakable vocal and bringing a Texas rock edge to modern country, the never changing lineup of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones, and Chris Thompson have spent two plus decades on the run, growing from hometown heroes into globe trotting, chart topping pioneers. Yet in all that time,EYB never forgot its raising, and today the foursome reclaim the spirit behind their success. Returning to their independent roots, the bold creative defiance that launched them into the mainstream and in many ways to their old stomping grounds it’s a new chapter driven by experience and a million miles of wisdom, from a band of brothers still very much in their prime. | Buy Tickets |

Welcome to Vincent’s House of Wax, home to the “scary monsters.” Vincent’s House of Wax is no ordinary wax museum. During the day, the monsters hide in the museum and pretend to be wax statues, but at night they come to life.
It’s Christmas Eve at Vincent’s House of Wax and the Ghost of Jake Marley has come to visit. Jake has been helping people for over a century and has only 2 chain links left from the ones he forged in life. He has lost the help of the three spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future and asks for the monsters help to pull a “scrooge” on Wolfgang the Werewolf.
Join Veronica the Vampire, Franklin the Monster along with Louise the Museum Curator as we dig into the past of Wolfgang the Werewolf to discover a secret that will forever change their lives.
The entire family can enjoy this adventure as Jake puts our monsters under a mystical veil to re-enact the past, present, and future of Wolfgang. What secret does Jake hide from the monsters and why is he messing up the reenactments? What happens when everyone starts to fight? Will Jake redeem himself and will it be a Merry Christmas? Is Franklin really smarter than everyone else? | Buy Tickets |
