LIMITED SEATED SHOW WITHOUT RESERVED BOOTH EXPECT TO STAND. -- BOOTHS DO NOT INCLUDE ADMISSION.-- Buster Jiggs For the past fourteen years the band Buster Jiggs has rocked their way through the great state of Texas. In the last few years their sound has morphed into what the band now calls “Organic Texas Rock”. There is no formula, there is no “set structure”, it is what it is, and it’s Rock N Roll. Lead by female singer / songwriter Kristin Muennink the band inevitably catches your attention and makes you take notice. “At times, Kristin will remind me of Lucinda Williams or even Liz Calendar of the Red River Mudcats. No wilting wallflower here. Kristin captures the listeners’ attention and draws you in with each note. Think Maria McKee during her Lone Justice days, just minus the extra helping of vocal twangery.” -Andrew W. Griffin Red Dirt Report Her musical career started with Buster Jiggs. She played acoustic rhythm guitar, mandolin and was the harmony vocalist when the band first began in 1999. In 2007 she became the lead vocalist, along with opting for an electric guitar instead of acoustic. She grew-up in Robstown, TX where music consumed her everyday life. She could not get enough of listening to artists such as Boston, Steve Miller Band, Fleetwood Mac, The Police, & Gun’s & Roses. On a whim one day she went out, bought a guitar, and taught herself how to play at the age of sixteen. Writing a few songs she never really flourished as a songwriter until she cross paths, with now husband, Scott Muennink. The Pear Ratz Once upon a time, in the 1980s in George West, Texas, there was a thrash-metal band that achieved a bit of success. Having started families, the members decided to take the 90s off to raise their kids. Well, it wasn’t long before these guys felt the itch again, that need to write and perform, but when they looked in the mirror, they realized they were just too old for the metal scene. “But then,” as bandleader Bob Strause puts it, “we heard distorted guitars on Ragweeds’s Live and Loud at the Wormy Dog. And with Reckless Kelly putting fiddle on their rock songs, we knew we could find a home on the Texas music scene.” And so out of the brush and prickly pear (hence the name) of Live Oak County, The Pear Ratz were born.
