Camp Street Cafe & Store Presents Steve & Sheryl Hartz and Jay White

Since 1977, Steve Hartz has been building, repairing, and playing stringed instruments at the General Mercantile and Oldtime String Shop on the square in downtown Nacogdoches. Steve has always loved and collected musical styles, ideas and stories that reflect earlier times. As a result, in 1998 he started his own recording company and received a Crossroads music award for his first CD, Crooked Steep and Rocky. This was followed by two East Texas inspired book and CD projects, By the Muddy Angelina and Settlers of the Western Woods.  

More recently, Steve and Sheryl have had the pleasure of performing with Jay White, who makes a wonderful addition with his unique two-string washtub bass and harmonies. Before moving to Nacogdoches and becoming familiar with old-time music, Jay spent more than 20 years performing as part of the country-rock scene in California, touring in Rick Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band, as well as playing with Doug Kershaw and Davy Jones of the Monkeys.

Their music is a combination of original and traditional tunes designed to transport the listener to simpler times.     

Doors Open at 6:00 pm
