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!

Austin, TX-based, Mike Kiddoo, brought a new voice to the pop conversation when he emerged in June 2019. After almost a decade as an Austin shock rocker, Kiddoo was ready to refine his over-the-top act, taking influence from modern chameleons like Beck and David Bowie.
Kiddoo began recording his first song with producer Justin Mauriello (former Zebrahead frontman) in June 2018. The two had become friends at a cafe in East Austin that Kiddoo worked at. He released “Rabbit Hole” in June 2019, marking the start of his musical shift. The song married his love of 90’s alt-rock and 70’s soul with Mauriello’s electro-pop production.
Enjoy this musical performance along with a delicious meal and a glass of wine, beer, or mocktail of your choice!
