Friends of Historic Breckenridge to host Texas Hill concert on Friday, Oct. 14
The Friends of Historic Breckenridge will continue its 2022 concert series with a performance by Texas Hill, a vocal trio featuring Craig Wayne Boyd, Adam Wakefield and Casey James, on Friday, Oct. 14.
Due to the ongoing renovations at the National Theatre — repairing damage caused by the hail storm earlier this year — the concert will be held at Canyon Road Barn and Grill, located at 5790 FM 3418, southwest of Breckenridge. Tickets cost $20 for general admission, and anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
General admission seating for the concert will begin at 9 p.m., and Texas Hill is scheduled to take the stage at 9:30 p.m.
Fans of TV music competitions may recognize the members of the trio. Boyd was the winner of the seventh season of The Voice, and Wakefield was the runner-up in the show’s 10th season. James was the third-place finalist on American Idol’s ninth season.
According to the Texas Hill website, “…Boyd offers a voice full of gospel-tinged country smoke, while … Wakefield blends a rootsy bluegrass-and-Americana rasp and … James wraps it with a blue-eyed soul quality and deft blues guitar chops.” The trio released its first album, “Heaven Down Here,” in January.
