January 5, 2025 – Terri Hendrix with Lloyd Maines
Our annual December show had to be rescheduled. But, get ready to have a great show to welcome in 2025! 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!
May 4, 2025 – Jon Muq
Jon Muq is a singer-songwriter born in Uganda and now living in Austin, Texas. I saw him last year and knew I wanted to have him perform at NB House Concerts but getting a date was difficult since he’s been playing at festivals, touring with Billy Joel, Norah Jones, Mavis Staples, and others and traveling all over the world. Finally it seems like he’ll be here for our last show of the season, Sunday, May 4th. Drawing from African as well as western musical trends and traditions, he devises songs as small gifts, designed to settle into everyday life and provoke reflection and resilience. “These days the world is sad,” he explains, “so I wanted to make happy songs. I wanted to write songs that connected with the listener in a very personal way. When someone listens to my music, it’s not just about me and what I’m singing. It’s about how they understand the songs individually. I think these songs can speak many languages, depending on what you want from them.” So glad to get Jon here to finish out the season.
