The 8th annual Lone Star Luau happens once again March 27-30th at the Margaritaville Lake Resort in Montgomery, Texas.

Started by hit songwriters Thom Shepherd and Coley McCabe, Lone Star Luau is a music festival that includes singer songwriters, Texas music acts, Beach Country and Trop Rock musicians. 

This year's headliners are Django Walker and Jesse Rice. Django is the son of the legendary Jerry Jeff Walker, and his songs have been recorded by Pat Green and Jimmy Buffett.  Jesse Rice wrote the multi-platinum selling song “Cruise” with Florida Georgia Line and has produced 6 albums called “The Pirate Sessions” that highlight his love for country music with a tropical twist. Jesse is making a rare full band appearance with his group The Americaribbeans. 

Other featured acts are Trop Rock Music Association Entertainer of the Year Sunny Jim and multiple TRMA award winners Donny Brewer, Erica Sunshine Lee, John Patti, Aaron Scherz and Eric Erdman. 

This year's festivities will include an appearance by Tex the longhorn, and a live chainsaw carving by musician and artist Doug Moreland.

Lone Star Luau also raises money for two charity organizations, Red Guitar Campaign and Operation Song. The Red Guitar Campaign donates guitars to Fisher Houses, an organization that provides free lodging for military and their families when they are in the hospital, and Operation Song pairs songwriters with veterans to turn their personal stories into songs.

Can I bring pets?

Pets are allowed in the Margaritaville Resort Hotel rooms but not in the festival area / conference center.

No, the entire event is held indoors in the Conference Center building. Except for the Duck Race, that is outside at the Lazy River. Weather permitting, some performances will be outside during the day.

Where do I park?

When you pull up to check in at the main hotel tower, they will instruct you where to park.

Do we bring chairs?

No, there are chairs provided in the ballroom.

Is this a 21 and up event?

No, you can attend if you are under 21, but you can’t enter the Boathouse venue. However, most of Lone Star Luau is a listening event. Small children are definitely not encouraged to come.

Anyone disrupting the event will be asked to leave.

Can I talk the whole time people are performing?

And you’re coming to a music event to… talk the whole time, distract all the people around you and not enjoy the music ? Maybe this one’s not for you.

You can talk quietly but please RESPECT the MUSICIANS and HAVE FUN!

The Boathouse part of the festival is our designated talking and listening area

The Paradise Amphitheater is definitely a listening room experience.

Do I have to stay at the Margaritaville Resort to attend?

Definitely not - you can stay where ever you like
