        JT Coldfire has played professionally for over 15 of his 31 years from Texas to New York and across the pond in Europe. Throughout his career, JT has gained the reputation as one of the hardest working musicians in Austin, sometimes playing 3 shows in a single evening never repeating the same song twice for over 9 hours of live performance. His travels all over the Texas Gulf Coast, klahoma, Tennessee, New York and as far off as Sweden, have gained an audience that is as dedicated to his performances as he is to delivering them. His virtuosity as a singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer has garnered praise as one of the unsung heroes of the new crop of Austin blues artists.

           Although his guitar playing has been compared to the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Freddie King, his style is all his own as he draws from numerous influences for a cocktail of traditional yet progressive interpretations; one minute leaning toward Muddy Waters and the next toward BB King but always sounding like himself. Raw & Real. His authoritative stage presence is emphasized by his bellowing, guttural voice that will falsetto or growl to garner response.

           His newest release "Crazy Sun" shows the range of his songwriting as no two songs sound alike but still have JT's fingerprints all over them. This new record drips of his abilities in several styles providing a powerful blend of American Roots Music that can only be described as Raw & Real.

     Rodney Crowell (born August 7, 1950) is an American musician, known primarily for his work as a singer and songwriter in country music. Crowell has had five number one singles on Hot Country Songs, all from his 1988 album Diamonds & Dirt. He has also written songs and produced for other artists.

          He was influenced by songwriters Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. Crowell played guitar and sang for three years in Emmylou Harris' "Hot Band".

         He has won two Grammy Awards in his career, one in 1990 for Best Country Song for the song "After All This Time" and one in 2014 Best Americana Album for his album Old Yellow Moon.

Let me tell you a story

About a little girl I know

When she walks into a room

You know she steals the show

She's crazy

And it's more than I can stand

I'm just crazy 'bout that woman

And she's just crazy about this man

 

She wakes me every morning

With that tender loving touch

Some fools don't get enough

But she just loves me too much

She's crazy

And it's more than I can stand

I'm just crazy 'bout that woman

And she's just crazy about this man

 

She always wants me around

But I don't ain't got no time

But you know she's got these little ways

To make me wanna change my mind

She's crazy

And it's more than I can stand

I'm just crazy 'bout that woman

And she's just crazy about this man.
