J Micheal Laferty
Micheal began writing and performing his own music as a teenager in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. He began working full time in 1975 as a road musician in the cocktail lounges and hotel chains up and down the West Coast, performing the cover tunes that paid the bills, but also making sure that his songs were in the repertoire of every band with which he worked. Micheal started working as an acoustic solo act in the early 80’s, building a loyal following of “Parrotheads” and “Margarittaville” expatriates, and for the next decade would be the Jimmy Buffet clone on the West Coast, all the while interspersing his own material when possible. Micheal settled into life on the Gulf Coast in 1995, he calls South Padre Island Texas “home”. His music, a reflection of his island lifestyle and tropical surroundings, is garnering recognition, in the Americana/Texas Music genre in the States as well as Europe, and he has become a defining benchmark in the emerging “Gulf Coast Americana” market.

Sherwin & Pamela Linton
Get ready for a Country and Popular Music show packed full of your favorite classic songs. Amazing vocal harmonies and touching duets are accented by a few stories. We tell the truth…. it’s funnier than anything we can make up! Audiences are amazed by Sherwin’s ability to bring back the image and sound of Johnny Cash. Dick Moebakken’s affable personality adds to his great impression of “Grandpa McCoy” and Dick’s vocal likeness to Freddy Fender is a show stopper. Pam Linton’s sweet yet powerful vocals really shine when she performs her special tribute to Country Music’s First Lady Tammy Wynette. The rockin’ music of the 50’s also comes alive and members of the audience frequently become the star of the show when Pam’s alter ego “Sally Smash” shows up with her bad biker boyfriend! This three piece group has a vast repertoire of routines and so much material to draw from the show is ever changing and audiences are always coming back for more!

The Cowboy and Hobo Show featuring Cactus Willie, Boxcar Bob and The Drifter.
The music is acoustical with vocal leads and harmonies. It is a combination of Country, Folk, Bluegrass & Lite Rock n' Roll. The sound is a wonderful blending of all those styles. Very similar to the Kingston Trio and acoustic folk groups of the 1950's and 1960's. Songs you will remember and a stage presence that is truly professional.
Live performances are full of energy, humor and wonderful vocals.

Jeff Crocker
Jeff Crocker plays guitar and sings most genres of music including new & old country, classic rock, R&B, southern rock, and classic oldies. His rich, powerful voice and breadth of songs appeal to all generations and lifestyles. His music variety entices crowds to get up and dance, however they can also simply relax and listen, and perhaps even sing along to the songs they know.

Southern Reign opened for well known artists such as the Charlie Daniels Band, George Straight, Alan Jackson, T. Graham Brown, and many others.
In 1994, after 10 years on the road with Southern Reign, Jeff left the band and began playing rhythm guitar and singing backup vocals for “The Posse”, which was the band for the “Country Fever” show at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
His solo career was launched at North Padre Island in 1999. Enjoying the coastal life, he moved to the white beaches and blue waters of South Padre Island in July 2001. He has entertained thousands of people, singing and playing his guitar at well known South Padre Island venues such as Parrot Eyes, Wanna Wanna Beach Bar and Grill, Louie’s Back Yard, Sea Ranch Restaurant, and Palm Street Peer. His most recent venue is the Island’s popular Club Pelican West night club where he has been a member of the Pelican West band.
