about The Keeper of the Plains Band plays red dirt country and southern rock for audiences all around the DFW area.
After making his presence known to the Music Row Country Breakout Chart with his single, “Keep on Rollin’” at a well-deserved #36 and over 100K streams, Michael Gutierrez with Keeper of the Plains is stepping back up to the plate with a new single. “Lovin’ and Lettin’ Go” has been released to the Texas music scene.
Lead singer Michael Gutierrez says he “hopes ‘Lovin’ and Lettin’ Go’ will touch your soul with this tune that is sure to give us that feeling we’ve all felt before.” He says, “Past relationships always help us to grow and become better at creating that perfect kind of love. It’s always best to try and work things out instead of ‘Lovin’ and Lettin’ Go.'”
The single is written by Gary Hannan who has had his music performed by the highest selling solo artist of all time, Garth Brooks, and superstar talents Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Joe Nichols, Montgomery Gentry, and Chris Young just to name a few. His songs have received the BMI Million-Air Award for reaching over 6 million radio airplays.

about Originally formed in 2013, The Selkie Girls have firmly established themselves as a mainstay in the North Texas folk music scene. With dozens of music and art festivals under their belt, as well as numerous television appearances, the band has toured throughout the States, never failing to captivate audiences with their unique instrumentation, lush harmonies, and dynamic arrangements.
Their debut album, The Parting Glass (2013) has been well-received both critically and commercially, with the title track garnering international attention. For their sophomore effort, Long Time Traveling (2015), the band expanded its sound with more intricate arrangements, further pushing the envelope of contemporary folk music. The lead-off track, “The Gaelic Song,” won the Celtic Radio Music Award for “Best Song of 2015” in the Roots Traditional category. For their third album, The Pirate Queen (2016), the band focused on strong female historical figures, including Grace O’Malley and Princess Louise, and continued to refine their sound, amalgamating more influences—both modern and past—in yet another distinct sonic expression of melody, harmony, and rhythm. All three albums have received rave reviews—from both fans and press alike—and have sold steadily at live shows and online via iTunes and Amazon, with numerous tracks receiving airplay on stations throughout the world.
