A singer songwriter par excellence, for decades Murray has helped keep a spotlight
on the Texas capital's music scene. She cut her teeth during the golden era of
Austin's blues and R&B, sharing the stage with the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan,
the Fabulous Thunderbirds and blues godfather W.C. Clark. Murray is both a big-voiced
blues singer and a prolific songwriter with a strong modern perspective. Throughout
her professional evolution, the blues has been the foundation of Murray's music and
songwriting, though she's never been a one-trick pony. "My sound encompasses the
influences of all of Texas' regional musical styles that I've been immersed in all
my life: blues, country, swamp pop, zydeco, soul, and rockabilly", she says.
"I believe I'm helping take American blues and roots music into the future by
writing new songs propelled by the styles that have inspired me." Recently, along
with co-songwriters Christoffer 'Kid" Andersen, Rick Estrin and Frank Bey, Murray
wrote the title cut on Frank Bey's album, "All My Dues Are Paid", posthumously
nominated for "Best Traditional Blues Album" in the recent 63rd Grammy Awards,
and for "Song of the Year" in the 2021 Blues Music Awards. Murray received the
2003 "Songwriter of the Year" award from the Australian Blues Music Awards and
was awarded two Silver Medals from the 2018 Global Music Awards.

LESLIE LETVEN BIXLER (aka MISS BIX) has been writing, recording and performing
since her early twenties. Her first international record, Make It Right (Sin-Drome
Records, 1992), reached #12 on the smooth jazz charts and still receives radio
play today. In 2009, Leslie and husband Bill Bixler produced the indie/pop
Porcupine, which they self-released. After the birth of her son, Leslie turned
her attention to writing and performing children's music, which attracted the
attention of Dick Van Dyke and Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith, whose
child was in her preschool music class. She produced two albums: Moon Food (2005)
with Dick Van Dyke and Rhythm Train (2010) with Van Dyke and Smith. Bixler toured
with Van Dyke and Smith in support of her children's music, receiving notable
press from celebrities and publications, in addition to winning a Parents' Choice
Award in 2006 for Moon Food. Her intuitive and introspective creativity flourished
during the COVID pandemic, leading to the creation of her latest release, Bring
It (Blue Heart Records, 2022). Featuring many of the same stellar musicians,
with the notable additions of superb vocalists Keeshea Pratt and Tiffany Pollack;
harmonica player Jimmy Z (Eurhythmics) and Tom Canning (Al Jarreau) on keys; the
album was produced and engineered by Charley Pollard of Dragonfly Creek Studios.
Continuing in the Hill Country blues tradition along with New Orleans-flavored
rhythms, Bixler's work deepens in groove and content on this new body of work,
with songs covering subjects ranging from COVID-inspired depression, to racial
oppression, nostalgic lost love, new love and the ever-present search for home.
