ENJOY -Captain Matt & The Boatcrew - before they set sail on their #BOAT #MUISC #TOUR!! & Let the kids PAINT THE VAN!!! https://captainmattmusic.com/epk began with the unexpected return of a songwriter, Matt Murphy, who once walked away from music entirely. After early touring success in a Christian Rock band, Captain Matt stepped away to build a design engineering career and focus on family — not touching a guitar or singing publicly for nearly twenty years.In 2023, during a casual TikTok livestream, viewers noticed an old guitar in the background and asked him to play. On a whim, he did — for the first time in two decades. The response was immediate and deeply personal, reigniting a calling he thought he had left behind.In 2025, Matt independently released a full-length album that climbed to #15 on the iTunes Country Charts, proving that authenticity still resonates without traditional industry backing.As demand for live performances grew, Captain Matt expanded the vision into The Boatcrew — a flexible collective of seasoned musicians built around the songs, the stories, and the spirit of the journey itself. Inspired by the ever-evolving energy of life on the Gulf Coast, each performance brings together players who elevate the music in their own unique way while staying rooted in the heart of the sound. Blending Trop Rock, Texas Country, and Blues into what they call “The Perfect Beach Cocktail,” the music is designed for festival stages, listening rooms, marinas, beach bars, and waterfront venues alike.Rooted in faith, family, freedom, and community, Captain Matt and The Boatcrew are building more than a band — they’re building a movement. Going to be a FUN SUMMER NIGHT at The Destination Midland We usually do a quick interview before the show from 730-830 - but we couldn't pass up on this fun opportunity for ya'll and help them kick off their upcoming tour - so grab your tickets and get there early!!! We will do a meet & greet with the crew and then start the show closer to 8pm so the artists have a little bit of time to mingle with ya'll before they close up the #venue for the night Looking forward to a great event and seeing lots of awesome faces! https://youtu.be/PGv_W5-1dHs?si=IRzL6jZZ64zI8TeL“A Little Whiskey In a Teacup” Celeste Marie Wilson was born in a town called Humble, on the Texas Gulf Coast, and grew up in Kingwood — the kind of manicured, wooded Houston suburb where the ninth hole sat less than fifty yards from her front door, hidden behind the trees. She was in high school when her family resettled north in Montgomery, Texas, trading manicured suburbia for a town with deep roots of its own in Texas history.Her family's roots in Texas run back to statehood — generations of land that was never sold, including family ranches carrying a land grant signed by Governor James Stephen Hogg. That kind of land meant horses, and for Celeste Marie, riding was never an occasional thing: she was in the saddle four days a week or more, sometimes daily, almost from the time she could walk — learning early what it means to fall and get back up, a lesson that shows up in everything she sings now.Writing and painting kept the same daily rhythm. Journals filled cover to cover, afternoons spent playing pretend with her sister, hours at the horse barn between rides, trips to Texas Art Supply in downtown Houston and the Museum of Fine Arts, where she didn't yet know what she wanted to make, only that she loved making things and that the art store itself felt like a room full of possibilities. Long before she ever picked up a guitar, Celeste Marie was already a storyteller — first in journals, then in watercolor, eventually in song.She carried that instinct to Sam Houston State University, majoring in English and making the Dean's List while riding for the school's equestrian team on athletic scholarship — hunter-jumper and dressage — all while studying watercolor concurrently at the Glassell School of Art. Through SCBWI, the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, she attended the national conference in New York and the state conference in Austin, where a publisher picked up one of her YA novels — a deal that ultimately fell through amid industry upheaval. But somewhere in all that writing, she'd already found the thing that stuck: taking her short stories and setting them to music. She left Sam Houston to chase it — and she's been writing songs like stories ever since.Her great-grandmother, Jessie Marie McCullough, was a poet and piano teacher who dreamed of playing at the Grand Ole Opry but never got the chance. The piano runs three generations deep in Celeste Marie's family — both of her parents play, and Celeste Marie started young herself, winning her first regional award at eight; her mother bought her a piano soon after, and she spent hours at it growing up. Her late aunt, Wanda Wallace, spent her career as an Endowed Chair of the School of Accounting at William & Mary and still found time to write romance novels of her own — the two corresponded for years, with Wanda encouraging Celeste Marie's writing all along. Poets, painters, musicians: it's a family that has always made things. Celeste Marie carries her great-grandmother's name, and by all accounts, she's simply the latest to pick up the thread.Years of church choir and musical theater gave her the stage instincts to match the voice. Vocally, Celeste Marie sits in the vocal stylings of Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Bonnie Raitt — a voice that sounds soft until you listen closely, carrying a lot more weight than its delivery lets on. She calls it “whiskey in a teacup”: delicate on the surface, unmistakably strong underneath. It's there in her sound, and it's there in how she shows up — big curls, a soft pastel palette, her great-grandmother's locket worn daily, a quiet kind of glamour that's inherited, not styled.Produced by Jim Reilley, Celeste Marie records under her own imprint, Little Dipper Record Company, distributed through Select-O-Hits — the Memphis distributor run by Johnny Phillips, rooted in the Sun Records lineage — and Sony Orchard. Her songwriting has already caught the industry's attention: a Josie Music Award for Story Enhanced Video of the Year (accepted at the Grand Ole Opry), a 2026 International Songwriting Competition semi-final placement, a MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart entry for “Jesus, Tequila & Whiskey,” and top honors at the Texas State Songwriters Championship. In June 2026, she won the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame's songwriting competition and was named a WSHOF Ambassador, performing at the organization's 6th Anniversary Award Show & Induction Gala in Washington, D.C.Her debut album, Southern American Princess, is targeted for August 2026, with a hometown celebration planned at Red Brick Tavern in Conroe, Texas. The album's heart is “Marie,” the story of a poor boy and a landowning family's only daughter — a love story Texas hasn't forgotten, three generations after her great-grandparents eloped against the family's wishes and made it last a lifetime. For Celeste Marie, it's less a choice than an inheritance — another woman chasing the beauty of life through story and song. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/8da3d7d0-7d65-11f1-a0f0-b3fc05930e16-rimg-w1110-h740-dc050613-gmir.jpg Marty Lee McCray is a West Texas–raised singer‑songwriter whose gritty storytelling, blue‑collar work ethic, and genre‑crossing past have shaped one of the most distinctive emerging voices in Texas music. Born Marcus Ethan Gonzalez II, McCray grew up in a family rooted deeply in performance and resilience — he is the great‑grandson of Wiley Burle McCray, the Rodeo Hall of Fame legend known as the “world’s greatest rodeo clown.” A graduate of Lubbock High School, McCray went on to study Commercial Music at South Plains College, the same program known for producing standout Texas musicians. His early career began far from country music: McCray spent years as a metal and rock vocalist, fronting bands such as Hail to Arms and Awakened in Ruins, touring across multiple states and opening for national acts including Mudvayne, Suicide Silence, Bury Your Dead, Static‑X, Unearth, Hed PE, DeD, and others. That high‑energy stage experience — along with the confidence forged in heavy music — eventually fueled his transition into Texas country, where McCray found a new lane for his songwriting. His music blends raw honesty, lived experience, and the emotional weight of personal loss. After the passing of his grandfather Pete Gonzalez, who always told him he was “meant to be a star,” McCray committed fully to carving out his place in the Texas scene. Known for writing relatable, meaningful songs that resonate with everyday Texans, McCray’s work often reflects themes of perseverance, family, and the realities of blue‑collar life. His single “Ask for Help” — recorded at Amusement Park Studios in Lubbock with engineer Gunner Driver (drummer for Grant Gilbert) — showcases his evolving sound and growing artistic maturity. Today, Marty Lee McCray continues to build momentum across Texas stages, bringing a mix of outlaw grit, heartfelt storytelling, and rock‑bred intensity to every performance. As he pushes toward larger audiences and new releases, McCray stands out as a rising artist determined to prove that country music still has room for raw authenticity and real‑life stories told by real‑life people.He took home Audience Favorite for the Male Songwriter of the Year event with Texas State Songwriters Championship - Association - ya'll are in for a real treat And we have ONE MORE SPOT - to confirm we think you are going to be pretty excited about Bring your family, bring your friends, and get ready for a night of entertainment you are sure to remember!!! @followersTHIS SATURDAY!!
