Shelley King is royalty in Texas and the first woman to be appointed Official State Musician of Texas by the legislature. The blues, roots-rock, gospel singer stands out in the crowd as an award-winning songwriter, steeped in Americana music. Born in Arkansas, and raised back and forth between Arkansas and Texas, Shelley has surrounded herself with A-list mentors from Marcia Ball to John Magnie and Delbert McClinton.
King will perform Saturday, September 3 at 7 p.m. More information is available at dixiecenter.org.
