June 14 and 15 Presenting KENNETH THREADGILL and the Velvet Cowpasture Long; recognized in Texas for his country and western talents, Ken Threadglll at age 62 is starting to develop a nationwide following thanks to the help ol the late Janis Joplin and Kris Kristofferson. It was at Threadgill’s Austin honky-tonk that Janis Joplin, Powell St. John and other TexaA greats got their first musical exposure. And due to his great respect for this man Kris Kristol- ferson recently took Ken Threadgill and the Velvet Cowpasture to Nashville to record Threadgill’s soon to be released first album. Performing in the style ol the late Jimmy Rogers, Threadgill and his five piece band play to admiring audiences all over the Southwest and were recent hits at the Kerrville Folk Festival. Threadgill describes his sound as "knee slapping, beer drinking country and western music.” And that’s exactly what it is.
