Milam & Co. has carved out a niche when it comes to creating free live music series in Austin and across Texas. Teaming with venues, radio stations and sponsors, Milam & Co. is able to present the best of live Texas-centric country, rock and pop music outdoors in family-friendly settings for free. Starting 13 years ago with the wildly-popular "Unplugged At the Grove" music series, sponsored by 107.1 KGSR, Milam & Co. has evolved a model that benefits host venues, radio stations, entertainers and music fans alike. These long-running, popular, weekly music series have become eagerly-awaited seasonal events in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Fort Worth. Our partners are top-rated radio stations in each market including: KJ-97 in San Antonio, KGSR, KLBJ-FM and KVET in Austin, KSCS The Twister in Dallas and 95.9 The Ranch in Fort Worth. Milam & Co. has also promoted and produced such one-off music festivals as 95.9 The Ranch's Birthday Bash, Kevin Fowlers Yallapalooza and Reckless Kellys Wild West Music Fest.
In addition, Milam & Co. Public Relations has helped promote and publicize releases for artists including No Justice, Seth Walker, Asleep At the Wheel, Jimmie Vaughan, Bruce Robison & Kelly Willis, Malford Milligan, Caroline Herring, Jennifer Hansen, Mark Nessler, Harris & Ryden, Freddie Krc & Shakin Apostles, Damesviolet, Grady and the Lucky Tomblin Band.
