Four acts in tonight’s River City Sessions

- STAFF REPORT

River City Sessions, a collaborat­ion of poets, authors, storytelle­rs and musicians whose work honors life in the South, will take place tonight, May 11, at The Granfalloo­n, 400 E. Main St. Performing will be Cannon & Hailey, Mike Crowder, David Jones and Ivy Leaks.

Organizers say this lineup is so strong that there is no headliner. Everyone is considered equally t al ented, so names will be drawn to see who goes first.

Cannon & Hailey is the duo of Cannon Hunt and Hailey Miller, students at Baylor School. They have a folk- i nspired style, incorporat­ing acoustic sounds and harmonies. Each of them brings a different influence to their music: Cannon’s is classic Southern rock, Hailey is more pop and R&B. The two play covers ranging from hiphop to pop to country, as well as their own music.

David Jones is one of many aspiring writers who has spent a life in other pursuits, but never gave up the dream of being a writer. He first put his creativity with words to use as a songwriter, but has emerged as a poet.

Mike Crowder has played in bands for several years. Now he’s writing his own material and ready to give audiences a taste of his sound, unplugged and unaccompan­ied.

Ivy Leaks is a duo who are favorites at local open- mic nights performing their original music.

Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 7:30.
