Chris Miller Band, one of the few who competed in the 2009 Shiner Rising Star competition, will be moving on this year into Round Two. This 3-piece band beat out the Beaumont-area band The Washers and Southern Crossing, from Stephenville. This was another incredible tight night of music because each of the bands was a winner and has a brilliant future in Texas music!
Judging were Nate Kipp, Chuck Taylor, and Brett Dillon.
Southern Junction is different from the previous venues in that it is a large night club, dance floor surrounded by countless group-size tables, often covered by tasty steaks off the grill. Service was incredible. Dance lessons keep people on the floor, line dancing or just plain on fancy two-stepping mixed with steps that usually are scene only in theater. Charles and the crew are to be commended.
