With 20 years in the business, we have an extensive list of songs and the ability to tailor each performance to your musical needs. Grammy-winning artists like Pearl Jam, Shawn Colvin, Eliza Gilkyson, P.Diddy, Bob Schneider and many others have trusted their music with the musicians of Strings Attached. Not only have we done our share of weddings, parties, and special events, but we have performed

Sharing a vibrant passion and love of performing music in a way that is unbounded by style, the musicians of Strings Attached have extensive experience and training in jazz, classical, rock, and beyond.

For the past 9 years, their shows have been regularly broadcast live on KLBJ and KGSR and they’ve shared the stages with Ray Wylie Hubbard, Joe Ely, Eliza Gilkyson, Patrice Pike to name just a few. Along the way they produced tribute shows featuring the music of Led Zeppelin, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder and several huge Beatles tribute shows before audiences in the thousands.

“These defense contractors make the weapons that the IDF uses to bomb Gaza. The IDF has now killed at least one in every 75 inhabitants of Gaza, [and] I refuse to be complicit in that,” Williams said. “I don’t believe that a music festival should include profiteers of war – I believe that art is a tool to create a better world and has no place alongside warmongers.”

‘It is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free’ by William Wordsworth
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility.
I’m getting excited about Yoga and Music this Wednesday May 17th

“ALLOW” BY DANNA FAULDS
There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightning bolt,
containing a tornado. Dam a
stream, and it will create a new
channel. Resist, and the tide
will sweep you off your feet.
Allow, and grace will carry
you to higher ground. The only
safety lies in letting it all in—
the wild with the weak; fear,
fantasies, failures and success.
When loss rips off the doors of
the heart, or sadness veils your
vision with despair, practice
becomes simply bearing the truth.
In the choice to let go of your
known way of being, the whole
world is revealed to your new eyes.
When are you going to take some time to do Strings in the Woods like these folks? 👉 austin.stringsinthewoods.com
The sweetest music fills the air
A guitar strums with tender care
The melody dances on the breeze
It fills my heart, it brings me ease
Acoustic music, oh how I love
Its gentle tones like a gift from above
No amps or speakers, just pure sound
A peaceful rhythm that surrounds
The strings vibrate, the notes so clear
My soul takes flight, there’s nothing to fear
The sound wraps me in a warm embrace
And takes me to a magical place
A place where time just slips away
And worries vanish without delay
It’s just me and the music in this space
An intimate moment, a sweet embrace
Acoustic music, it’s simple and pure
It’s what my heart and soul adore
It speaks to me in a language of love
And lifts me up to the heavens above
So let the music play, let it ring
It’s the sweetest pleasure, the greatest thing
Acoustic music, my heart’s desire
Its beauty sets my soul on fire.
All humans are born funny and have their own specific kind of humor that is their signature. It develops over the lifespan and sometimes it’s just a matter of finding a compatible audience… don’t ever give up. Humor is one of life’s most precious gifts and a great balm for the soul during hard times. -SittingLife

Buda Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock that is found primarily in the Central Texas region. It was formed over millions of years from the accumulation of calcium carbonate shells and skeletons of marine organisms, such as coral and mollusks, on the ocean floor. The limestone is composed mainly of calcite and aragonite minerals, with small amounts of other minerals like quartz and feldspar. The sedimentation process resulted in a rock that has a distinct layered appearance, with varying shades of white, cream, and gray. Buda Limestone is prized for its durability and is commonly used in building and construction projects due to its ability to withstand weathering and erosion.

I’ve been making music and friendship with Leeann Atherton for just over a decade now. Yesterday it was so fun to be at the first day of her new stage and celebrate with all of her wonderful volunteers. On this day laying on her kitchen table was a book entitled ” no one succeeds alone” There’s a poem by Maya Angelo that I love that also expands on this idea! Alone Lying, thinking Last night How to find my soul a home Where water is not thirsty And bread loaf is not stone I came up with one thing And I don’t believe I’m wrong That nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. There are some millionaires With money they can’t use Their wives run round like banshees Their children sing the blues They’ve got expensive doctors To cure their hearts of stone. But nobody No, nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. Now if you listen closely I’ll tell you what I know Storm clouds are gathering The wind is gonna blow The race of man is suffering And I can hear the moan, ‘Cause nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.
In the company of elders, There is wisdom to be found, Their stories and their memories, Are like treasures to be unbound. They speak of times long past, Of battles fought and won, Of love that lasted lifetimes, And of work that must be done. They’ve seen the world evolve, Through decades and through years, And their knowledge and experience, Is a source of strength and cheers. Their eyes have seen much beauty, And much pain they have withstood, But through it all they’ve carried on, And have made our world more good. So if you’re with an elder, Listen to what they say, For their words can be like diamonds, That can light your darkest day. And in their company you’ll find, A peace that’s hard to match, For with elders by your side, There’s no challenge you can’t catch. Note: I told AI to write a poem about being in the company of elders 👀
Guessing Game: As one ages, hair loss becomes an inevitable reality, and time marches on relentlessly. Yet, amidst these changes, one wonders if certain constants remain, such as the affectionate gestures of sending a Valentine's card and a bottle of wine on birthdays. Even if I were to return home late at night, would you still keep the door unlocked for me? Will you still value and care for me when I reach the age of sixty-four? As the years pass, both of us will grow old together, and in such a scenario, would you allow me to be of assistance to you? For instance, I could repair a blown fuse, or we could spend our Sunday mornings knitting and gardening. What more could one ask for? The question lingers: will you still have the same need for my presence and sustenance when I am sixty-four years old? We could plan our future together, looking forward to spending summers in a rented cottage on the Isle of Wight, even if it involves some budgeting and thriftiness. Eventually, we might welcome grandchildren, such as Vera, Chuck, and Dave, who would enjoy sitting on your lap. In the end, I request that you write to me, stating your views and feelings, with precision and clarity, as I slowly waste away. Fill out a form to give me your final answer, and may we be together forevermore. Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

Come to Strings In The Woods 👉 Join.Stringsinthewoods.com “Wild Geese” You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
The Live Music Capitol, Austin, Texas There’s even music on street corners! Who doesn’t like a little Eddie Van Halen inspired guitar when you’re waiting for the light to change…. ——- It’s coming through a hole in the air, from those nights in Tiananmen Square. It’s coming from the feel that it ain’t exactly real, or it’s real, but it ain’t exactly there. From the wars against disorder, from the sirens night and day, from the fires of the homeless, from the ashes of the gay: Democracy is coming to the U. S. A. L. Cohen
Sculpture Songs at the Umlauf — here’s the second improvisation on the spot for Mary, mother of Jesus by Charles Umlauf that was a rejected work, can you believe it? My dad who was there said you could almost see a little bump. Immediately after this, the woman on the far right raised her hand and said that I brought out the sorrow that was in Mary’s eyes, and that was the first time she had ever heard anybody do that. This project is the realization of a dream that started back in 2017. To bring to life sculptures or art with live improvisations created on the spot solo and with my musician friends. G et on my email list to get show updates at join.Stringsinthewoods.com We will be doing this again very soon! Trumpet by Stephen Zirkel
