The Original Wailers
The Original Wailers head to Corpus Christi! In 1974 when Bob Marley went solo, on the brink of international stardom, he surprised the music community by choosing as American born lead guitarist, Al Anderson.

Andersons’ musical achievements with Bob Marley & The Wailers include the platinum award winning albums, ‘Live at the Lyceum’, ‘Babylon by Bus’ and ten times platinum album ‘Legend’. The Orignal Wailers received their own Grammy nomination in 2013 for their album ‘Miracle’ making it Andersons’ second Grammy Nomination.

David Shabani
With special guests Kiya Vance & Moon Jazz. David Shabani returns to House of Rock for a headlining show after an incredible performance at our 19th Anniversary. His Alternative Hip-Hop, fused with Texas soul and R&B, makes listeners want to keep coming back for more. Shabani’s sound brings together early 2000s-style hip hop with classic soul and R&B. The lyrics are poignant and optimistic all at once, delivered as fast-paced bars over soulful melodies. The result dually satisfies the late night thrill seeker with club pounding rhythms, and the idle listener with lyrics that flow in a story-like format. Born to Congolese parents in Paris, Shabani immigrated to Canada before launching alternative hip-hop artistry in Texas. Never idle, his sound has taken over stages at home and abroad alongside The Lox, Ashanti, Blxst, Asher Roth, D Smoke, and others with his band, The Nu Leopards, a tribute to his Congolese roots.

Meet Max & Heather Stalling, a dynamic duo of singer-songwriters from Dallas, Texas, who bring a distinctive fusion of vocals, lyrics and fiddle playing to the core of Texas and Americana music. For tonight’s show, they’ll be joined by special guest Ty Dietz! Max left behind a career as an R&D scientist at Frito Lay to pursue his goals as a singer-songwriter, trading in his lab coat and master’s degree from Texas A&M University for a guitar and the stage. Max has cultivated his sizable and devoted fan base over the course of his more than 20 years of touring, gigging, and hard work; playing pretty much every venue you’ve ever heard of and many you haven’t. A mainstay of the Texas/Red Dirt scene, Max has six studio albums, three live projects, and a history of chart-topping success in Americana radio. His star on the South Texas Music Walk of Fame in Corpus Christi stands as a testament to his enduring impact. Heather is an award-winning violinist and fiddler. As a child she traveled with her parents while she performed in fiddle contests throughout Texas and surrounding states winning trophies and admirers along the way. At age 18 she was hired into “The Texas Gold Minors” in Branson, Missouri performing 7 days a week for several years. Upon returning to Texas, she was in high demand as a fiddler and played with acts such as Bob Schneider, Cory Morrow, Johnny Lee, The Old 97s and Mark David Manders. Ultimately she formed her own band, blacktopGYPSY, penning the songs, playing fiddle and guitar and singing harmony. “BTG” released two full-length studio albums, toured relentlessly and made fans everywhere they went. Max and Heather are thrilled to embark on this joint musical journey, sharing their love of music and each other with audiences old and new.
