In this three-week generative workshop, writer and educator Daniel Ramirez invites students to explore family, community, ancestry, and our connection to the natural world through storytelling and guided writing prompts.

Through readings, conversation, reflection, and writing exercises, students will create stories, essays, or poems rooted in memory, place, and identity.

In a uniquely up-close setting, this one-night experience invites audiences to hear the music in its purest form, stripped down, deeply personal, and powerfully resonant.

Lisa Morales brings her genre-blending sound rooted in Mexican heritage, soul, folk, blues, and Americana. A fixture of the Texas music scene, she first gained recognition as one-half of the beloved duo Sisters Morales, a staple across the Southwest from the ’80s through the early 2000s. Praised by Rolling Stone as “one of the most multifaceted artists to watch,” Morales continues to craft songs rich with emotion and authenticity.

James McMurtry, hailed as one of America’s greatest living songwriters, is known for his sharp lyrical storytelling and vivid portrayals of everyday life. As John Mellencamp once said, “James McMurtry writes like he’s lived a lifetime”, a sentiment reflected across his acclaimed, decades-spanning catalog.

Bruce Robison, one of the Lone Star State’s most influential songwriters, has penned chart-topping hits for artists like The Chicks, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and George Strait. His work continues to shape the landscape of Texas songwriting, both on stage and through his platform, The Next Waltz.
