Family Concert
by Robert Rodriquez and J. Byrd HoschRobert Rodriquez has been performing traditional folk music and storytelling professionally since the mid-1970s. Fascinated by the cross-cultural aspects of shared music and stories in various cultures since an early age, Robert has incorporated various aspects of folk lore and music into his curriculum as a high school teacher, has performed at various events throughout the country, and enthusiastically shares his songs and stories with audiences of all ages. Intrigued by traditions and rituals from around the world, he finds vocal and verbal performance arts to be an entertaining way to pass them on to other people, while at the same time demonstrating the inter-relationship between music, oral narrative, and the social and cultural histories of different cultures.
J. Byrd Hosch is a fine Texas songwriter whose country roots come through loud and clear in her music. Formerly the leader of San Francisco’s legendary Kountry Kays.
