Roger Kenaston of the Kenaston Band began playing as a young boy behind his fiddle-playing father and quickly advanced to lead guitar in the family band. He became an award-winning fiddle player and learned to play the dobro, mandolin, lap steel player and also was a vocalist. He considers his style to be a combination of the Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens, and Don Rich, the rockabilly of Carl Perkins, the finger picking of Merle Travis, and the flat-picking of Doc Watson.

The Young Family, from Guthrie, Oklahoma, has returned to the Rio Grande Valley for their second season of performances.
“When we were headed home last year, my wife turned to me while we were driving and said, ‘what’s next’?” said Steve Young, father of the Young Family Band. “I thought about it for a minute and then said the first thing would be for me to take early retirement from the Oklahoma City Fire Department. The second thing would be for us to buy a bus for traveling.”
“Within the hour, I had received calls from three different churches wanting to book our show,” said Steve. “I believe it was the Lord telling me I was making the right decision.
Anyone who likes good music and comedy will not want to miss Laughing Bird, a talented duo who will be returning to the Valley February 25.
Tupelo and Janey Wing Kenyon have been performing together since 1978. They have traveled from Alaska to South America, from California to Carolina and Europe to Asia, performing at fairs, festivals, universities, on cruise ships and at community concerts.
They took their name Laughing Bird from the year-and-a-half they traveled in Central America in their RV. Whenever they brought out their instruments to play, a bird called the laughing falcon would show up and sing along. It sounded like a woman having a good laugh. Since their goal is for everyone to laugh and have a good time, and Janey’s maiden name is Wing, Laughing Bird seemed a perfect name for their duo.
One of the most popular entertainers to come to the Rio Grande Valley is Sheldon Tucker, known simply as Tucker. A commanding figure, Tucker could easily be mistaken for Marshal Dillon walking down the street in his signature fringed jacket, cowboy boots and black Stetson hat. But with his voice, which is a rich combination of baritone and tenor, he is at home in Broadway musicals. He played the lead in “The King and I” with the “Rainbow Players.” And he worked with Carol Burnett in “Moon Over Buffalo.”
