Laura Ainsworth Returns in her one-woman show, "My Ship Has Sailed", with Pianist Brian Piper
"A Potential Cult Phenomenon!...A dynamite revue…Witty and discreetly naughty...A merciless spoof of modern America's fear of the aging process" by Laura Ainsworth, whose "Julie Andrews-style 'These Are the Things That the Taliban Banned,' which made the rounds in 2001, was one of the cleverest song parodies since the heyday of Tom Lehrer...Worth the trip from Ft. Worth to Dallas!"-- Perry Stewart, Ft. Worth Star-Telegram
"Side-Splitting!...One zinger after another… will have you laughing with recognition!” -- Park Cities People newspaper
"3-1/2 Stars! Laura Ainsworth has fashioned a sophisticated one-woman show, 'My Ship Has Sailed,' about growing older... Ainsworth's act is a hybrid, as she is a fine lounge singer with comic flair who delivers her songs in a beautiful, sultry voice with superb breath control. She tells the audience, 'If Weird Al Yankovic and Julie Andrews had a child, it would be me.'" -- Rita Faye Smith, TotalTheater.com

Singer/Songwriter: Ken Gaines
Houston area singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer Ken Gaines has the goal of writing great songs in just about every genre and style. You won't be able to put a finger on what he does from sweet lyrical ballads, to double entendre blues, to swingin' jazz, and redneck rock. "For all of the great songs that have been written I belong to a wonderful group of people who believe there are at least as many great ones still to be written." His voice has the range to cover all of these styles and his supple guitar work lays down arrangements instead of just chords. His lyrics are both powerful and poetic and highlight his skills as a story teller and observer of life.

Onstage Ken is both into the songs and the moment. "Live performance for me is the culmination of all my thinking and practice. It's like a religious experience. I want you to laugh and cry on the same night and I hope you go home feeling like you've fallen in love all over again with someone or something you hold very dear".

Ken has two solo CD's and a live cassette to his credit. His latest, "Catfish Moon" 2006 on the Songdog record label is a real taste of what it's like to hear Ken with Karen, Wayne, and co-producer Bill Ward with guest appearances by Gary Sapone, Jeff Duncan, & Ron Rebstock on several cuts. The previous CD, "Real Men", 2002, established Ken as a national act. He's also written and recorded songs for "The Silver Wolf Homeless Project" 1995, as well as the earlier "No One Else" live cassette released in 1991. And through the years he's worked on numerous other recording projects as well as a writer for stage and film projects notably the feature film, "Blue Days Lost" and two co-written children's musicals, "Noah and the Ark" and "Journey of the Wise Men" produced by the Excellent Theatre Company in Houston.

Since the fall of 1998 he's produced and hosted a songwriters' series at Houston's legendary Anderson Fair . These Thursday night productions have become a must for traveling artists from all over North America who are breaking into the Texas territory, as well as a way to hear many of Texas' singer/songwriters. “Talk about a great way to keep your edge as a performer. I love these shows!” says Ken. “Each night is a different mix and allows me to bring out a different aspect of my performance as well as the opportunity to interact with so many talented people.”

Finally, he's a regular around the Kerrville Folk Festival making sure his schedule allows him to spend the entire 18 days there interacting with fellow singer/songwriters both on stage and around the song circles. He's a proud member of MyTexasMusic.com where you can find his music and hundreds of other Texas artists.

Ken will be performing a late night show on Saturday, November 4th at 11:00 p.m. Tickets are $10.00.
