Details
​
Great music! Wonderful musicians, great volunteers and a great cause. Proceeds from the Susanna's Kitchen concerts go to help people in our community who are in need, through Barnabas Connection, Wimberley Community Assistance Fund, and other Wimberley-area nonprofits, plus scholarships for pre-schoolers at Bright Beginnings.
Great food! Delicious pies, tamales, pizza, coffee, and soft drinks available. Doors open by 7:00 pm. Concerts start at 7:30 pm and are held in the Fellowship Hall at Wimberley United Methodist Church.
Great Cause! We all benefit – those who come to hear the best music in Wimberley, those who have a great time volunteering their talents to produce the concerts, and the people who are helped by our donations. Mark your calendars for every Third Thursday year round.
Tickets are sold ONLY AT THE DOOR. Tickets range in price from $20-$25 depending on the musician. Cash and checks are currently accepted. Students under 18 are $5. Concerts are not appropriate for small children, as there is no childcare.
To ensure a good seat, and as some concerts sell out, come early! Ticket sales begin by 6:30 pm. Arrival between 6:30 pm and 6:45 pm is suggested, especially for very popular musicians. Doors open by 7 pm. and performances are in the community room (Fellowship Hall). Come early, enjoy dinner with us and enjoy the concert experience in a small, intimate environment. Oh, and don't forget that Susanna's Kitchen Concerts take cash or checks at the gate, but not credit cards or other methods of payment.

"Jeff Black writes songs that call to mind Greg Brown, Bill Morrissey, and Townes Van Zandt. His voice can make time stand still and his lyrics are some of the finest in the land. This latest…continues a tradition established on earlier albums…, the tradition of an artist delivering songs that are damn near perfectly crafted and filled with the wisdom of the ages.”
~PopMatters
​JEFF BLACK was born in Kansas City, Missouri and is now based in Nashville, Tennessee. "His words and voice hold down center stage with a craft so deeply in the artistic pocket that it obscures anything outside," (music magazine No Depression).
​
Sam Bush has recorded many of his songs including "Same Ol' River" and "Gold Heart Locket." Jeff co-wrote the title track to Sam's Grammy-nominated album, Circles Around Me.​
​
His songs appear on recordings by Alison Krauss, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Douglas, Dierks Bently, John Oates, Blackhawk, Joel Sonnier, as well as the soundtracks of The Thing Called Love, the acclaimed PBS documentary The Appalachians and Sundance Film Festival's Grand Jury Prize Winner for Best Drama (2006), Steel City. Black also appeared on Iris DeMent's 1992 debut album Infamous Angel, lending backing vocals along with Jim Rooney and Hal Ketchum. BlackHawk's cover of Black's song, "That's Just About Right," was a Top 10 Country single. Boston WUMB listeners voted Black one of the top 100 Folk artists of the last 25 years.
​
Black's first album, Birmingham Road (1998), was recorded with the members of the band Wilco (minus lead singer, Jeff Tweedy) and produced by Susan Rogers (Prince, David Byrne).
​
A master songwriter and troubadour, his soul-driven live performances of songs from his vast catalog are not to be missed. Jeff Black's latest, the 2025 collection Anthology, a retrospective of songs selected by listeners from albums released since 1998, features Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, David Jacques (John Prine), Dave Roe (Johnny Cash, Jake Bugg), Will Kimbrough (Jimmy Buffett, Emmylou Harris), Jody Nardone (Brian Setzer, Bret Michaels), Kenny Vaughan (Lucinda Williams, Marty Stuart).
​
Don't miss Jeff Black at Susanna’s Kitchen on Thursday, October 16. Doors open by 7:00 with the performance starting at 7:30. Tickets: $25 (sold only at the door, cash or check) for adults, $5 for students 18 and under. Come for dinner: pizza, tamales, nachos, pie. Concert is located at Wimberley United Methodist Church, corner of RR 12 and CR 1492.
