George Ensle is a former Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Award Winner. George Ensle is no stranger to the Central Texas audiences and is a revered figure in the Texas folk scene, George’s career spans decades and continues to inspire audiences with each performance.
George came up during the vibrant 1960s Houston folk scene, sharing stages and stories with legends like Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Billy Joe Shaver. He’s released 15 albums across the U.S. and Europe and wears many hats: singer-songwriter, producer, educator, and advocate.
He is a member of the Texas Arts Commission Touring Roster, and he serves as an ambassador for Soldier Songs and Voices, where he teaches songwriting to veterans and active-duty personnel — a true reflection of his dedication to healing through music.
George’s previous project, "Be a Better Me," continues his legacy of crafting songs with wit, wisdom, grit, and always, hope. His live shows are a master class in emotional connection, delivered with edgy vocals, intricate fingerstyle guitar, and touches of resonator and keyboard.
"He has the ability with a song like a leather artisan, carving, crafting and coloring to create something both beautiful, flexible and strong enough to stand the test of time.” - Rich Warren WFMT Chicago
This will be a night of timeless songs, stories from the road, and the kind of intimacy and warmth that only a house concert can offer. Don't miss your chance to see a living piece of Texas folk history—up close and unforgettable.

Born into a musical family and raised on a farm in rural Iowa, Susan Werner became focused on music at a very early age. From that point forward she has written and performed songs in numerous genres. She mesmerizes audiences wherever she goes. From the moment she walks on stage you are hooked, you know immediately that you are in for a magical experience.
She first arrived on the national stage when her 1995 BMG debut earned her national concert tours with Joan Armatrading and Richard Thompson. In 1996 Werner was featured as part of the “next generation” in Peter Paul and Mary’s PBS special LifeLines. She has performed on NPR’s World Café, NPR’s Mountain Stage, and in 2016 Nebraska Educational Television broadcast “The Land Will Outlive Us All,” a one hour special on Werner, agriculture, and her 2015 concert tour across the state.
We saw/experienced Susan at Kerrville and at Blue Rock in years past and knew she was a must for Sycamore Creek. It has taken a while for that to happen, but we know you will agree it was well worth the wait.
As if you need anymore encouragement, do yourself a favor and check out some of her YouTube videos:

Gail and I have been fans of Trout Fishing in America forever, ok, maybe not forever, but definitely since we first saw them at Symphony Square in Austin in the 1980's. Back then, they were playing songs while they balanced pitchers of water on their heads and other such antics. Thirty years later they no longer balance pitchers of water on their heads, but they put on just as energetic a show as they did in the 1980's. They are the ultimate performers/songwriters/musicians. We are so happy to have them return to Sycamore Creek for another great night of music.
This quote from the San Jose Mercury News pretty much sums it up: "Their songs are folky and intelligent, part country, part roots, a mix of cheeky lyrics and soulful harmonies. Their live shows blend campy humor and instrumental prowess...The power of their music is that they write kids' songs that grown-ups can share without feeling embarrassed or lowbrow. And they write grown-up songs that don't bore kids."
I doubt it is necessary, but if you are not familiar with this "dynamic duo," you can visit their website to learn more about them. If you attend this concert, be prepared to experience the full gamut of emotions, from laughing at songs like "Don't Touch My Stuff," to shedding a tear listening to "Lullaby."
