DECEMBER 2004 (Austin, Texas) – The Live Oak Coffeehouse this month presents
the groups White Shoes and Texas Hot Flash in a live musical performance
benefiting the People’s Community Clinic, which will be held on Friday,
December 10, at 7:30 p.m.

Admission is $10 or a season pass at the door. Gourmet coffee and pastries are
included in the price of admission.

As always, the concert will be smoke-free and alcohol-free, putting the emphasis
on the music and the musicians. Three-quarters of the gate goes to the
performers, and one-quarter to the selected charity. Since the coffeehouse is an
all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization, all of the money from admissions
paid at the door and season passes goes to the performers and the charity.

People's Community Clinic (PCC) is a unique community asset. Founded in 1970 by
a group of volunteer doctors and nurses, PCC has become Austin's largest
comprehensive primary health-care center serving the uninsured working poor. All
services are offered on a sliding scale basis. The clinic is located at 2909 N.
IH 35 in Austin, where 30th Street intersects with Interstate 35. For more
information, visit the clinic’s Web site at www.pcclinic.org.

White Shoes is Gerry Burns and friends. A delightful blend of melodies and
sounds using guitar, bass, piano, organ, trombone, percussion, and drums. Songs
to dream to, songs to drive to, songs that just make you want to put on your
Dancing White Shoes!

It was just over a year ago when Brenda Freed (the music therapist), Amy Cartee
(the graphic designer) and Karene’ (the thespian) stood on-stage together as
an official act for the first time. Texas Hot Flash quickly took the Texas Hill
Country by storm, becoming a household name in bigger cities such as Austin and
smaller towns such as Luckenbach, Wimberley, Waco, and Kerrville, home of the
world-famous Kerrville Folk Festival. Describing themselves as “a cappella and
then some,” the women use their interchangeable soprano, mezzo-soprano and
alto voices to create imaginative and stirring tone paintings in a variety of
musical styles. The group wows audiences with classics written by legends such
as The Beatles, Van Morrison, Billy Joel, and Rogers & Hart. They also provoke
laughter and tears with moving originals such as “Handyman,” “Send That
Pizza Back,” “Patiently,” “Peace On Earth,” and “Move On.” The
act’s shows include voices alone or voices accompanied by any combination of
guitar, piano, djembe, spoons, and with harmonica played by harmonica
aficionado, Michael D’Eath. No Texas Hot Flash performance is complete without
a good bit of humor, flavorful antics and thought-provoking expressions of
politics, life, and spirituality.

Doors open at 7 p.m. on Friday, December 10, at the Live Oak Unitarian
Universalist Church, located at 3315 El Salido Parkway, Cedar Park. For driving
directions, visit the church’s Web site at www.liveoakuu.org or call 219-9008.
