APRIL 2006 (Austin, Texas) – The Live Oak Coffeehouse this month
presents The Studebakers, in a benefit performance for Blue Dog Rescue,
a local organization that helps homeless dogs. Stuart Adamson and Hilary
Tompkins will open the show, which is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday,
April 14, at the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church in Northwest
Austin/Cedar Park.

Admission is $15 or a season pass at the door. Gourmet coffee and
pastries are included in the price of admission.

The Live Oak Coffeehouse has been smoke-free from its inception in 1998,
before it was cool or legally mandatory!

The coffeehouse, a community outreach program for the Live Oak UU
Church, also is 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.

Blue Dog Rescue is a volunteer organization whose purpose is to end the
needless killing of homeless dogs. Blue Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit corporation. Your donations go directly to the care of
our dogs and are 100% tax deductible. For more information, visit the
organization's Web site at www.bluedogrescue.com

The Studebakers have been harmonizing since 1993, when Jill Montgomery
started the group. Her idea was to bring back the marvelous melodies and
lyrics of the songs of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, and to deliver
them with the clarity and close harmony that made them such big
favorites in those years. First to join Jill in the trio was Becky
Cavanaugh. Becky always loved to harmonize, so she was a natural fit.
Sharon Maner, who also had a natural gift for harmony, joined Jill and
Becky. Nigel Russell, who joined the Studebakers in 1994, is a premier
songwriter, singer, guitar player, fiddle player, and all around
on-the-spot raconteur. Randy Seybold, a virtuoso on the bass and jazz
guitar, has been another powerful addition to the Studebakers. December
of 1997 brought the release of the first Studebakers CD, "Now and
Then," a showcase of their musical skills. Their second CD, "The
Studebakers Greatest Hats," was released in 2000. "Christmas
with the Studebakers" was released in December of 2003, and includes
Sharon Maner's original hit, "Christmas in Texas."

"Stuart Adamson's new CD, I've Got Lonesome, is filled with that
great, classic, Texas honky-tonk sound -- as sure to be a hit on the
dance floor as the living room," says Bill Groll of Country Roots
Music. Influenced by a range of folks including Hank Williams, Conway
Twitty, Radney Foster, and even Ray Charles, Adamson has a way of
inviting an audience to participate with him in the music. Maybe you'll
just tap your foot at first, but next thing you know, you're out on the
dance floor. Hilary Tompkins joins Adamson in a newly formed
side-project, Tompkins and Adamson. The group is currently gigging
regularly in the Austin and San Antonio areas; look for a studio release
from them later this year.

Doors open at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 14, 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
