Paul McDonald’s voice is immediately recognizable and impossible to ignore. Often compared to legends like Rod Stewart and Bob Dylan, the poetic story-driven narratives and deeply catchy hooks in his music are delivered by a raspy yet refined voice reminiscent of another era that demands to be heard right now. He pulls off the rare feat of being a poet, visual artist, songwriter, adamant performer, and a powerful vocalist. Paul’s hope is to spread peace, love, and unity through his music. Connection & community through song.
Jack Barksdale has been performing professionally half his life, making him a veteran singer-songwriter at 17! Described as an “old soul,” he writes songs that connect with audiences while giving glimpses of his past and reflections on our future. Inspired by a range of legendary folk, rock, and blues legends, he has shared the stage with such icons as Wyonna Judd, Ray While Hubbard and Hayes Carll. This TX artist is on his way to stardom — but for now, lets enjoy him making a stopover on “Under."

Originally from Seattle, Ruthie Craft is a powerhouse vocalist with songs full of strong narratives and relatable meanings. Capturing audiences with her honest, emotive lyrics and soul-bearing vocals, Ruthie has a loyal following in Texas and around the country. Delivering a unique cinematic pop-soul sound, Ruthie’s songs reflect her worldview: colorful, heartbreaking, and optimistic. Ruthie sees her performances as an opportunity to “let my emotional filters down, while inviting the audience to do the same.” This openness, vulnerability, and authentic connection to her fans, make her a perfect fit for this special show.
A dynamic performer out of Georgia,Ava Connell,is an artist on the rise — and a busy one, playing over 100 shows annually.

Deer Fellow is a massive talent, a unique indie pop/folk duo with “comforting yet bold musicality.” Austin-based bandmates Matt Salois (guitar, vocals) and Alyssa Kelly (violin, vocals, keys) have built a cross-genre sound that “stirs hearts with each carefully crafted note.” Their lyrics are deep, meaningful, yet catchy and relatable. As cited in East Side, “Their genres range from contemporary indie-rock, to jazz, soul, and American standards, but the resulting mélange makes sense once the sound hits the ears.” This unique duo is without question – set to “Go Far and Under.”
Caroline Hale is an Austin-based singer/songwriter and recent graduate of the University of Texas! While moving from the 40 acres to the spotlight at a young age, she is off to a scorching fast start - building a loyal following and playing some of the most well-known venues in town (and beyond). Her songs range from thought-provoking and poetic (e.g., “We Both Do”) to crowd thumping dance songs (e.g., “Frankly Speaking (I’m done)). One for introspection and connecting her experience (and others) to her music, Caroline is set for a meaningful ride “Down Under” - The Rock.

Trish and Darin Murphy were raised in a musical family and are now long-standing legends and prime contributors in the the Austin Music scene. The two originally formed the band "Trish & Darin,” one of the biggest-drawing acts in their hometown of Houston during the 90s. Since then, Trish has recorded three solo albums and toured nationally and internationally, including being a part of the Lilith Fair and Mountain Stage and World Cafe. In Austin, Trish is well known for her role in the amazingly popular band 70s/80’s tribute band, SKYROCKET! Also a proud SKYROCKET! member, brother Darin has several solo releases and has played alongside such icons as Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross and many others. Impressively, his vocal and acting chops won him a job on Broadway, portraying John Lennon in the musical “Lennon.” Recently, Darin has taken over the lead singing role for HeartByrne, the nationally touring Talking Heads tribute band. During this special Under event, Trish and Darin will play (and discuss) a combination of covers and originals that have meaning in their lives, both personally and professionally.
