Under the Rock presents Paul McDonald and Jack Barksdale
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."
