Home on the Grange - Concert Series at Lopez Island Grange, Lopez Island, Wa.
Summer 2008
Saturday July 19th 7:30 PM - Lopez Island Grange Hall - Idgy Vaughn with Will Sexton
Idgy Vaughn writes and plays twisted Texamericana with all the aplomb and raw magic of an unsocialized farmkid. A single mother, Vaughn waitressed at a truckstop in Buda, Texas, until a customer won the lottery and loaned her just enough to record her full length debut, "Origin Story." After losing her hometown's talent show to Christian karaoke singers seven years in a row, Idgy finally became a winner herself at the Kerrville Folk Festival's prestigious New Folk Competition for Emerging Songwriters. Since then, she's been winning over critics, cynics, dj's, program directors, and fellow songwriters one at a time.
Some debut albums set up careers with the promise of good things to come. Idgy Vaughn delivered Origin Story without warning, a recording so potent it can't be ignored.

Will Sexton: As one of the youngest original 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. He has wielded his unorthodox guitar-playing style with Johnny Thunders, Ron Wood and psychedelic original Rocky Erickson and recorded for MCA, Zoo Entertainment and A&M Records. As a writer, he has the knack for storytelling he learned from Townes van Zandt and has written with Waylon Jennings, David Baerwald, Steve Earle, Terry Allen, Steven Stills, Doyle Bramhall II and Joe Ely. Bruce Springsteen and Joe Ely have performed the Sexton/Ely composition "All Just To Get To You" on tour.
