Some of the Players...

Stephen Doster
Stephen has been playing Ski Shores since the early 1980s. Whether it's with current Austin star Seth Walker or with Austin singer songwriter heavyweights like Bill Carter and Leighton Hamilton, Stephen brings to Ski Shores a storied musical history of Austin music and its musicians.

Jeff Anderson
Jeff Anderson can flat play the guitar. A beautiful sound permeates through the valley when Jeff shows up on the Ski Shores Stage. His music has been entrancing at times due to his excellence on the guitar. Come and enjoy for yourself. Jeff and his band might very well be the best act in Austin.

Will Sexton
Will Sexton plays on. A local legend raised in the spirit of what is Austin music. Check out one of his shows and you will see for yourself. The comraderie of the players. The connection to the audience. Will Sexton is one of the "real deals" when one speaks of Austin music and its musicians.
   "He is one of the youngest members of an Austin music
scene that spawned Stevie Ray Vaughn and others. Will
Sexton grew up in the company of country crooners, blues
guitarists, and folk storytellers. His unorthodux guitar
style has led him to alliances with the likes of Johnny
Thunders, Ron Wood, and psychedic original Rocky
Erickson, to name a few........"

Glass Party
Most noted for their European Music Festival Shows,
Glass Party travels througout the U.S, entertaining families of all ages.
 An uptempo happy sound that is just plain refreshing. 


Amy & the Bullets
Amy's voice is what brings back admiring fans to Ski Shores since 1995. Her back-up musicians are solid and talented in their own right adding just the right mix of country and soft rock.

Van Wilks
Van Wilks is smooth as silk. Close your eyes and his talent will move you. Van has consistently been respected by both his audiences and his peers as being one of the most innovative and accomplished guitar players. His shows always inspire me, us, the audience; that hard work and patience can really produce some beautiful results. Come enjoy this Austin phenomena in person. You will be pleased you did.

Karen Mal
Karen's presence on the Ski Shores stage makes us all happier for the moment.  Her music and her voice will make you happier as well.  
A night on lake well worth enjoying.  


Fingerpistol
A talented group of Austin musicians adding a fuller sound for the admiring fans and families at Ski Shores.

Red Dawg
Danny Brit, leader and frontman, is also a Ski Shores Hall of Famer.
 If Ed Sullivan still hosted a variety show,
Red Dawg would have been invited to play many times. 
Add Glen and Marvin and the sounds that fill the air are just extraordinary.




Ski Shores believes entertainment is best enjoyed with fresh food and a cool refreshment. So on a pleasant evening between April and the end of September bring yourself and your family to an Austin original--bring them to Ski Shores Waterfront Cafe!

A discreet reminder... These musicians, keeping with the old tradition of playing for tips only, are never paid to play. So if you are enjoying the hard work of the entertainers please donate as you see fit.
