In Concert: Austin Leonard Jones / Ryan Sambol / Ross Cashiola / John Tottenham

Please join us for a special musical evening at PRS, featuring:

Austin Leonard Jones is a songwriter from San Antonio, TX. He has released fourteen albums and published two books. He lives in California with his wife and mother-in-law.

Ryan Sambol was born in New Jersey and raised in Texas, USA. Currently residing in Smithville, Texas, a songwriter, poet, musician and visual artist for over twenty years now, 2024 finds him with a new group, Summer Band, along with a unique and positive outlook on what it means to be an entertainer. Beginning with Strange Boys ’07-’12, Living Grateful ’13-’15 and continuing over the last 3 solo albums Now Ritual, Rail Sing, and Gestalt, Ryan has repeatedly tested, proven and rearranged himself a reliably interesting life of music, humor and prose. Forthcoming studio album ‘Friend of the Show’ planned for 2025.

Ross Cashiola is an artist and songwriter living in Marfa, Texas since 2006 by way of Chicago and Baltimore and many points previous. He has four self-released albums, two under his old band moniker Hotel Brotherhood and two under his own name with 2022’s ‘Uncanny Valley USA’ recorded at the Bomb Shelter in Nashville, TN. Ross is currently recording songs in between fencing jobs and searching for a record label to put out his music, one that may not exist. Currently he is gardening tomatoes and bermuda grass and building a painting studio on the edge of the mountainous west Texas plains. The upcoming full length EP ‘Leonardo DiCaprio sings the songs of Ross Cashiola’ (working title) is also expected be self-released in late 2024 and the stripped-down ‘Songs from the House” expected in mid 2025.

John Tottenham’s poetry, essays and performances have led to him being described as “our preeminent contemporary poete maudit.” A unique purveyor of magnanimous misanthropy and magical cynicism, he is the author of one novel—to be published in 2025 by Semiotext(e))—numerous essays, and four volumes of poetry: The Inertia Variations, Antiepithalamia & Other Poems of Regret and Resentment, and The Hate Poems. His new collection, Fresh Failure, is published by Hat & Beard Press this Spring.
