SECOND SATURDAY CONCERTS Presents -
Karyn Oliver
with Hudson Mueller opening
Karyn Oliver
2020 South Florida Folk Festival Songwriters' Competition winner Karyn Oliver is part Joan Osborne, a touch of Janis Joplin and a bit of Emmylou Harris – her seductive voice effortlessly oscillates from bluesy soul to country and back.
Cherchez La Femme, a new collection of songs, was released in October of 2023, featuring an all-female cast in an effort to bring more attention to the fantastic women creating music today. Several songs have already gotten critical acclaim and song awards.
"This is a very special album that deserves a wide and appreciative audience; and in Karyn Oliver I think I’ve unearthed a very special talent too."- The Rocking Magpie
"Karyn's lyrics will have you thinking while you're enjoying the top-notch musicianship found in this collection"- Jack Dugan, Folk Odyssey, WIOX Community Radio
Hudson Mueller
Hudson Mueller has always been something of an outlaw philosopher. Like his spirit guide Willie Nelson, he follows his musical instincts wherever they lead – even when those paths aren't particularly convenient or commercially strategic.
On his stunning debut solo album Welcome to Earth, Mueller delivers a collection of songs that showcase his gifts as a storyteller while expanding the sonic possibilities of the Americana genre.
Hudson was a 2026 winner of the prestigious New Folk competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival and was awarded first place in the 2026 Red Lodge Songwriter contest.
Houston Folklore and Music Society presents folk music concerts from a wide variety of subgenres on the second Saturday of each month (except as noted above) at The Annex at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
$20 suggested donation (CASH OR CHECK ONLY, PLEASE) at the door –
all proceeds go to support the artists.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Suggested donation for children is "pay what you can."
