The Texas Heritage Music Foundation is proud to announce that the
14th annual Texas Heritage Music Day (formerly the Texas Heritage
Living History Day) will be presented on Friday, September 24 at the
Robbins-Lewis Pavilion on
Schreiner University campus in
Kerrville from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event, billed as “Another Way
of Learning Using Stories and Songs,” will be open to the public and
admission will be free. From 4-6 p.m. in the historical Union Church on
the festival grounds the Texas Folklore Society and THMF will co-host a
panel on the songs of Texas. All events are FREE and open to the public.
For Heritage Music Day, more than 50 performers and presenters will be
spread throughout the park surrounding the pavilion to both entertain
and educate, including Aztec Dancing, chuck wagons, Native American
exhibits and stories, Texas singers and songwriters and more. Central to
the event will be the annual noon tribute to former Kerrville resident
and “Father of Country Music” Jimmie Rodgers. Food and drinks will be
available for sale at the event. A take home educator’s packet will be
available to all teachers.
The Texas Heritage Music Day is part of the new Texas Song Series,
beginning August 5-7 with a songwriter’s festival in Con-Can and
September 1 Texas Music Coffeehouse. All three events feature Adam
Carroll and Owen Temple.
