Barton Creek Mall:  On Saturday, May 11, The Better Halves will be hosting the music from 9 to 1.  Jimmy Joe kicks off the morning with some upbeat, often funny, original music, and kids songs mixed in.  He’s been playing some improv instrumentals on his telecaster with his e-bow, and folks have been loving the sound!  Chrissie joins him at 10:15 and they become The Better Halves.  Great vocal harmonies and awesome guitar instrumentation ensues….                                                                               www.thebetterhalvesmusic.com

At the 11:11 hour, Sue Young will be our musical guest.  Sue’s vocals are sparkling, her songs range from the whimsical to the mystical, and she traverses styles from jazz to folk to Latin.  Sue performs songs in English and in Spanish, both for the big and little kids!  She’ll be bringing some of her music students along to share some fun songs as well and will be introducing her newly released CD, “Gliding”!                             http://www.sueyoungmusic.com/fr_whatsup.cfm

On Sunday at the Farmers Market at the Highland Mall, Avenue Elle will be hosting music from 10:30 to 1:30. Avenue Elle sings pop/jazz/folk songs with beautiful female harmonies.  The girls were on a Prairie Home Companion last fall for the duet contest, and continue to make appearances in such prestigious events as the Kerrville Newfolk Regional finalists.  Samples can be heard at www.avenueelle.com

The Better Halves are a husband-wife musical duo who specialize in making listeners smile.  With training at the Berklee College of Music and GIT in Hollywood, Jimmy Joe is a skilled guitarist.  Country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, Latin and classical styles create a widely appealing repertoire.  He has a talent for crafting story songs and has had one of his car songs featured on NPR’s “Car Talk.”  Chrissie joins him with sweet vocal harmonies and rhythm guitar.  Her whimsical, melodic songwriting earned her the chance to perform on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion”.  Together they write funny, touching duets with clever lyrics and real boy-girl banter.   They also play rousing Chet Atkins influenced instrumentals, which always bring down showers of applause!  Their songs uplift and entertain audiences of all ages, and they perform in settings from weddings to schools to local festivals.   They have been a staple at one of the farmers markets in Austin, TX, for years, where they touch hearts and get toes to tapping with their upbeat, fun and inspiring music!

Avenue Elle has been an Austin musical collaboration since 2003.   The two girls, Alison Lumley and Chrissie Natoli,  sing songs of love, hope and inspiration.  Alison was a Kerrville Newfolk artist in 2012 and a Kerrville Regional performer in 2013.  Avenue Elle was featured in Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Duet Contest in October 2012.  Their most  distinguishing feature is their individual vocal styles, which blend to create  a  uniquely beautiful harmony that touches and uplifts the hearts of their listeners.
