Live Music with Canyon Rio

Canyon Rio consists of brothers-in-law Billy Tice and Wes Rader. Billy lives at Canyon Lake, and Wes along the Colorado River just outside Smithville. Thus the name Canyon Rio.

Both hail from Houston, where in a previous century they played in various country and classic rock bands with friends and family. They have collaborated on a number of original songs, and continue songwriting as part of their musical journey.

Since moving from Houston, Billy and Wes have teamed up to form Canyon Rio, and have been playing locally at venues in Smithville, Bastrop, and the Canyon Lake area for the past several years. You will hear classic country, modern country, outlaw country, folk, Americana, standard hits from across the decades, and original songs, all included in their live performances.

Billy and Wes have two distinct styles when it comes to singing and guitar playing, and when performing together these have proven to blend nicely to offer something that everyone can relate to and enjoy!

Live Music with Sarah Price

Sarah cut her teeth on show tunes and musicals, beginning well before she started high school. With a voice that brings to mind the honesty of Joni Mitchell and the sweetness of Alison Krauss; Sarah’s performances feel like home. Raw. Pure. Made for bigger stages than she is used to playing. Sarah has toured throughout the United States and Europe, she has sung as part of a musical duo, as well as having been a harmony singer in a Montana band. She has sung harmonies on several albums for fellow musicians, and has recently released a single of her own. For the last several years, she has been primarily playing solo, but loves to collaborate whenever she gets the chance. Currently Austin-based, Sarah plays around the city, as well as neighboring towns. She will also travel from time to time to play her favorite U.S. haunts. She loves to share music as much as she can, and loves the opportunity it affords her to see the world, as well as meet incredible humans.
