Join us for a live music performance by local country musician Clint Nygard 4-7pm.
We have a beautiful country stage nestled in rural Bastrop County, not far from Bastrop, Elgin, and Manor Texas. Enjoy award winning wine, freshly brewed craft beer, and a full food menu while you listen to live music.
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!

Mary-Charlotte Young is the Texas-based singer songwriter you didn’t know you were missing.
In keeping with folk tradition, Young tells stories through song. Stories of struggle, love, & a darker element of the human experience: murder. Imaginative lyrics, percussive guitar playing, and hard-hitting vocal melodies define her style both live and in studio. Her voice can cut straight to the bone or lull you into dreams.
Mary-Charlotte draws inspiration from across the American musical landscape. Her influences range from Townes and Lucinda to Otis Redding and Jeff Mangum. Though typically a solo acoustic performer, Young’s studio albums are chock full of Texas musicians lending their talents to her vision.
