Everybody that ever played at the Kerrville Music Festival and a few that were gone before it came into being.
Sounds Like
Happenstance, of course! Some people have compared us to groups like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, or the Eagles, but we like to think our originals (and rare cover tunes) mostly sound like us.
Purely by happenstance, one summer at the Kerrville Folk Festival Dan Clanton and Doug Coppock began talking about songwriting, performing, and collaborating on a project back in Arkansas. Both singer-songwriters who had performed with groups and as solo acts all over the country, Dan and Doug were looking for a new format that would allow them to move beyond the limitations of solo performance while maintaining the intimacy and emotion of acoustic coffeehouses. When they got back home to Conway, Arkansas, purely by happenstance bassist Brooks Walthall was looking for a new way to channel his considerable talent, experience, and interest in acoustic music. As a result, HAPPENSTANCE was born-- a trio of acoustic singer-songwriters who play original music (and the occasional cover tune), sing great harmony, and challenge their audience to have as much fun as they do!
HAPPENSTANCE members say, “Electrifying Acousticana is the term that we use when people say ‘What kind of music do you play?’ We don't always know what to tell them, but Electrifying Acousticana is as close as we've been able to come.”
Drawing upon acoustic music, folk, and Americana primarily, HAPPENSTANCE plays a melting pot of musical genres, styles, and influences. The goal of every HAPPENSTANCE performance is to get the audience involved in the show and makes sure everyone leaves with a smile on their face and a song in their heart.

Thanks for the great show last Saturday guys. Big fun! "Recorded Live at Stuio Joe" on KUAR - FM89.1 9pm The October 4 broadcast will feature performances by Brad Williams, Sean Rock, and Jim Tozier.
thanks for finding me. I think I've actually met Dan at the campsite. I always camp with Jody so I'm sure I've seen you around camp. Sadly you were playing the day I was sick and missed all the daytime music:( I'll be sure to say "Hi" next year. Thanks for coming by to check out the blog on Woodyfest.

That is so cool! My college instructor is cool! and plays in a band! I actually remeber you telling me that. Too awesome! I just picked a guitar a few months ago and I am addicted! By the time I learned the basic chords I was playing song tabs. I still suck but, hey, it is fun and relaxing! I bought a pink guitar. You will have to keep in touch and let me know when you guys will be in LR again or closer my way and I will be there! Did I mention you were cool?
Hey Guys~ Sadly, I won't be in Okemah for Woodyfest this year. My parents went and scheduled their 50th anniversary vacation with all of us for that week... can you believe it? I don't know what they were thinking. :-) My first time to miss since the very first one, and that was just because I didn't know about it yet. Perhaps it's just as well this year, though. It would make me too sad to be there and know I wasn't going to get to see Bob Childers. Raise a bottle and sing a song for me, and I'll see you doen the road. Much Love~ Sister Sarah
Hey Brooks (and Dan and Doug)! Great to hear Southern Belles the way it was written. Back in Jersey, my local "Cheers" bar had The Kind's version on the juke box. You wrote a great song there, Brooks. I am honored to have been a part of its heritage.
