Campfire Stories - Beyond workshops, Design Ranch offers the kind of entertainment only found in Texas. You can’t beat the live music each night, swimming and canoeing in the Guadalupe River, horseshoes, hiking, tennis, jam sessions around the campfire (feel free to bring your guitar, drums, harmonica or other musical fare), roping demonstrations, scavenger hunts, belt sander races, horseback riding and good old fashioned getting to know ya with the best bunch of folks you’ll ever want to share a weekend with.

 


Thursday - Waxploitation DJs - Spinning the rarest, heaviest superheavy Funk & Soul ever laid in wax! No disco or hiphop, just THE ORIGINAL STONE SOUL SOUNDS! The REAL UNCUT FUNK!

Friday - Dale Watson - "...the kind of stuff country music legends are made of..." - Austin Chronicle ('Nuff said.)

Saturday - Li'l Cap'n Travis - Li'l Cap'n Travis is a band wistfully, heartbreakingly magnetized by nostalgia, and is skilled at translating that nostalgia into blissful modern pop. The members of this band have lived and breathed classic rock - not only 70's hard rock but Motown laments, Southern-fried guitar wankery, sunny psychedelic sway, and good-time country-rock, languidly introspective songcraft - for so long that it is alive in them. Their music is not an imitation
of it but a continuation of everything it has taught them.
