November 10 – The 2024 Kerrville New Folk Winners Tour
Many people consider the Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition to be the soul of the Kerrville Folk Festival. Every year since 1972, songwriters have been invited to submit two songs to be considered for this prestigious competition. From over 800 submissions in 2024, 24 artists were invited to come to the Kerrville Folk Festival and perform their songs before an adoring and enthusiastic audience. A panel of professional musicians selected six “award winners” from the 24. Of course, they are all outstanding musicians, especially having been selected to be finalists. Each year the six award winners are invited to participate in a tour in central Texas.
This year, all 6 award winners will be participating in the tour and share their incredible songs and musicianship. To read a little about each participant go to the links on the front page of this website.
December 8, 2024 – Terri Hendrix with Lloyd Maines
Annual December Show. Terri & Lloyd are about as good as it gets! Terri Hendrix is a pioneering independent Texas songwriter who spins sorrow into joy and wrings wisdom from the blues with a poetic grace and engaging melodic flair that has endeared her to three generations of loyal fans around the globe. A classically trained vocalist and accomplished multi-instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, and harmonica) recently recognized by “Acoustic Guitar” Magazine as one of Texas’ 20 essential contemporary singer-songwriters. Lloyd Maines is a Grammy-award winning producer, musician and songwriter who was inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame as one of the first three members – the other two being Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The two of them blow the doors off every venue they play. I’ve been honored to have them both come here to play our annual December show. Always a sell out!

March 9, 2025 – Moors & McCumber
A vocal harmony duo fifteen years in the making, Moors & McCumber have done more than just endear themselves to fans – they’ve built a genuine community. Bridging the gap between classic folk rock and present-day Americana, they write heartfelt songs directly inspired by life’s experiences.
The sound of Moors & McCumber is adventurous, eclectic, and endlessly creative. Borrowing from rock, pop, blues, folk, and world music, the two multi-instrumentalists defy common logic and embrace spontaneity to bring their stories and songs to life. Their strong vocal harmonies and unconventional instrumentation combine to create a mesmerizing experience. At the center of it all is their evocative songwriting.
While “more than the sum of their parts” has become a bit of a cliche, there is no better phrase to describe Moors & McCumber. It’s been a while since Moors & McCumber have been to NB House Concerts in person and we’re really looking forward to welcoming them back!
April 6, 2025 – Susan Werner
Over the course of her twenty-five-year career, Susan Werner has earned a reputation as “one of the most innovative songwriters working today” (Chicago Tribune). With formidable chops on guitar (she began playing at age 5) and piano (she was a guest on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz), along with a graduate degree in voice performance, her shows are a one-woman master class in musicianship. Although best known as an acoustic songwriter that came up through coffeehouses and folk festivals, the Chicago-based artist has written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter (I Can’t Be New, 2004), gospel music (The Gospel Truth, 2007), traditional Cuban “son” (An American In Havana, 2016), and New Orleans junk piano (NOLA, 2019). In 2014 she composed the music and lyrics to the musical theater score Bull Durham, The Musical (MGM). Her songs have been recorded by Tom Jones, Michael Feinstein, and Shemekia Copeland, and her latest recording of originals, Halfway to Houston, is a tour de force of Texas music and musicians. We’re so glad to welcome her back!
