The Hanshaws are honored to be Nominated in the 2008 Texas Music Awards as the "Vocal Duo/Group of the Year"
It's been a "few" years since David & Kelly Hanshaw hit the road and fronted bands in various dancehalls and nightclubs throughout the southwest. They are now an acoustic duo, performing as "The Hanshaws," and are currently playing in the Houston and surrounding areas.
The Hanshaws' studio CD project is finally here. We are very excited to have Larry Beaird on acoustic Guitar, Redd Volkaert on Telecaster, Cindy Cashdollar on Dobro, Vic Ramirez on fiddle, as well as some other excellent players. The recording of the new CD has been split between various studios including Direct Image and Beaird Music Group in Nashville, Bismeaux Recording Studio in Austin, and House of 10 Dogs in Houston.

Join us in congratulating record producer Kim Copeland for her work on the Rachel Williams album, Lonely At The Bottom. Check this great review by R.K. Oermann with Music Row Magazine on Rachel's current single, The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving.
"She has the goods. This creeps up on you with cat’s paws. The languid pace, echoing instruments, spacious production and her hushed, aching delivery are all immensely seductive. The lyric of leaving home is full of terrific details. And her falsetto leaps in the bridge are like little daggers to the heart. A mini masterpiece. This, by the way, is the third single in a row that I have raved about from this performer."
Thanks for joining our circle of friends, and thanks for helping to keep Redd's legacy alive! Billy & Sharon (Stewart) www. reddstewart. com (Pee Wee King and his Golden West Cowboys) *Please spread the word!
