Texas Heritage Music Foundation archives 1987-2017 Current Programs:
• Texas Heritage Music Day (formerly Living History Day). Open mic starts at 7 p.m. followed by a featured act.

THMF believes the tradition of Storytelling in both Song and Spoken Word is a powerful educational tool that stimulates imagination and thought, promotes heritage and history, and bridges the past with the present and future. A FREE event held on the last Friday of September each year on the campus of Schreiner University in Kerrville, and continued throughout the remainder of the school year via

THMF's The Bard Project (a unique in-school performance / outreach program) in selected schools, hospices and after-school programs and centers. Combined attendance since 1997 exceeds 35,000 students, teachers and public.

• Annual six-part "Texas Music Coffeehouse Series" (FREE music & poetry events) are held the first Wednesdays of Sept, Oct, Nov & Feb, March, April in the Lion's Den at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas. The events provide space for writers, musicians and artists to showcase their work at an open mic. The series is committed to both education and entertainment and showcases a different performer from a specific genre each month (songwriter, blues, jazz, country, world music, alternative, rock). Previous performers include Terri Hendrix, Joe Shaver, James McMurtry, Tish Hinojosa, Tom Russell, Steve Young, Debbie Walton, Shelley King, Ruthie Foster, and many more.

• Texas Oral History Project. A collection of over 500 taped interviews with musicians, songwriters,
performers and club owners.

• Texas Music Photography exhibit.

• Wayne Kennemer Scholarship Fund. For Hill Country-area students pursuing a course of study in some aspect of music.

• The Music Connection. There are nineteen free-standing nursing homes in the seven-county service area of the, Texas Heritage Music Foundation, with a total bed capacity of 1727 individuals. Performances are scheduled for Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Bandera, Boerne, and Comfort nursing homes. Additional funding is being sought to continue The Music Connection throughout the Hill Country and to provide performances to assisted living facilities as well.
