MAY 2006 (Austin, Texas) – The Live Oak Coffeehouse this month
presents The Hudsons, a local trio, in a benefit performance for
GENaustin, an empowerment group for girls. Greg Klyma of Austin will
open the show, which is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 12, at
the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church in Northwest Austin/Cedar Park.

Admission is $10 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.

GENaustin (Girls Empowerment Network) is an Austin-based,
not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that fosters healthy
self-esteem and leadership skills in girls by engaging them to explore
and define their personal values and to build skills that empower them
with confidence and courage to make wise choices. GENaustin was
founded in 1996. For more details, visit the group's Web site at

"They're the most creative songwriters in Austin right now," says
Daren Appelt, Their Biggest Fan. The Hudsons (Hudson Mueller, Brian
Hudson, and Phoebe Hunt) are an original folk-rock trio. They say,
"We've performed every Thursday at the Waterloo Icehouse in Austin
since 2002, during which we've developed a play list well over four
hours long. Mueller and Hudson write the songs, play guitars, Hunt
plays fiddle, and everyone sings. In the summer of 2003 we published
our first full-length album, `Songs About People.' "

Greg Klyma is a home-cooked meal and a vaudeville show in a fast food,
karaoke world. His music provides the perfect mix of wrist-slitters
and side splitters. Good enough to dazzle the Americana airwaves and
sharp enough to leave an impression on the eclectic college scene. No
Depression magazine (Sept-Oct. 1997) dubbed him "An artist to watch as
he follows inspirations and seeks to put his own spin on them." He has
been described as a "singer-songwriter with (an) Arlo Guthrie-esque
voice (who) writes socially conscious ballads and acoustic-guitar
ditties thick with hippie happiness that assume audiences are both
smart and able to laugh." His music is folk with a backbeat.

Doors open at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 12, at the Live Oak Unitarian
Universalist Church, located at 3315 El Salido Parkway, Cedar Park.
