Katy Rose Cox and Sophia Johnson have both already had long careers in the music industry, performing in other peoples’ bands for many years. Both are extremely experienced instrumentalists, used to playing supporting roles to other people. And they have another thing in common – both were also accustomed to being the only girl in the band, roughing it as “one of the boys”, and doing the grunt work of a band member without the glitz and glamor of the spotlight. The combination of a British guitarist and an American fiddle player makes Tiger Alley’s sound both vibrant and distinct, intertwining their individual but complimentary voices both vocally and instrumentally. Cox’s writing has a definite cinematic quality inspired by her fascination and love of the desert of West Texas and New Mexico, which is obvious in songs like  ‘Ghost of Ray Leon’ and ‘Ozannah’, (think Morricone with an old time fiddle) while her love of early rock and roll is clearly displayed on tracks like ‘Eugene’ and ‘Wicked Ways’.  

Chili Cold Blood is a "gutbucket blues" power trio from Austin, Texas, known for their unique blend of country, rock, and dark, swampy blues.

During the 60’s Houston Folk Music scene George was sharing stories, songs, and stages with Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Billy Joe Shaver. And after more than five decades he still maintains the essence of that folk tradition, the story song.
