The Co-Write

The Clubhouse Concert Series, created and hosted by (at the time) Joni Beard, holds a place in the pantheon of Texas music. Starting in the "clubhouse" of her then-apartment complex and eventually making its way to venues such as The Horseman Club, The White Elephant Saloon, and Jack's Off the Wall, Joni's series served as an incubator of sorts for some of the biggest names in our music scene. Clu...

We lost an icon a couple of weeks ago in Dolly Parton.  Her passing coincided with our 10th anniversary live podcast.  We didn't want to limit our rememberance of Dolly to a short segment there, so we saved it for a whole episode as she deserves.   Dolly was iconic in everything she did.  Be it songwriting, recording, acting, philanthropist, etc. ... she raised to bar on what it means to be a huma...
