Deezie Brown
In 2023, we are celebrating 50 years of Hip-Hop music! To commemorate this milestone in the entertainment and music industry, it's only fitting that we share an EVA entertainer who is bringing a fresh funk spin to Texas Hip-Hop. Born and raised in a small town outside of Austin called Bastrop, TX, Deezie Brown is redefining Hip-Hop with his "blue collar" style of southern Hip-Hop. At an early age, he was first exposed to hip-hop as he rode around in his dad's Chevy truck, listening to some of the great hip-hop artists of the South. He gathered blank tapes and used his boombox to record mixtapes utilizing beats from his family's cassette tapes.
Having played Austin City Limits in 2021, sold out his debut album release show, and had a residency at C-Boys, his fan following continues to grow. He even was on the cover of The Austin Chronicle and KUTX Radio's August Artist of the month! Through his sound, Deezie pays homage to the nostalgic essence of Texas hip-hop, blending it with the modernism of today's cinematic soundscapes.
Sister Golden Hair The Band
Inspired by a shared love of the golden age of modern songwriting, an affinity for classic LPs, and a passion for harmony, Sister Golden Hair The Band is a melodic force to be reckoned with. Fronted by three powerful women with an aptitude for the classics, Sister Golden Hair The Band pays tribute to the harmony-rich hit songs of the '60s and '70s. Playing some of Austin's most iconic venues, this group is committed to creating an experience that brings audiences all the good feels of these nostalgic songs.
From Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, to The Eagles, Sister Golden Hair The Band will mesmerize all audiences and brings a warm familiarity to any room with classic favorites that transcend time.
