Musician Bio:
GALVEZTON is the moniker that eclectic writer/indie rock and roll folk musician Robert Kuhn uses to release music and perform under. The stage name was adopted prior to the 2022 release, PERSEVERE, where Kuhn’s folk/world music roots took a turn towards a sound that was described as “less easy to categorize”. 2022 also marked the release of Kuhn’s first book, LEAVING IS RETURNING (Weasel Press), an autobiographical novel about life, travel and adventure in Central and South American indigenous villages. Comparisons are often drawn to Henry Miller, Kerouac, Hemingway or Rumi. The name GALVEZTON draws reference to his home and the barrier island’s collective creative/cultural scene which gave rise to his band, music and the community organizing movement, La Izquierda, an annual surf and music festival (first weekend in May) and a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to enriching local culture and communities on the Gulf Coast by getting people together with music, art and the ocean. Robert returned to his native Texas in 2010 after 12 lost years abroad and released his first album, EVERYBODY KNOWS, in 2014. It was embraced by the local press enough to free him from his factory labor obligations and open doors to tour the United States and Mexico both as a solo acoustic songwriter and with a rocknroll surf band. The new album, “Ocean Cabaret,” is an 11 song collection of acoustic based love songs that his girl swears are “hits”. It’s anticipated release is late summer and fall of 2025.
Doors open for coffee and conversation at 10:00 AM. The program starts at 10:30 AM.
