Dana Jones

OYOU's Volunteer & Workshop Host 

Mind, Body, Spirit, Writing Workshops

Dana Jones was born in Texas and has devoted her life to growing, loving and learning (most often the hard way!). She's been a jack of many trades, a homeschooling mom, and currently spends workdays as an Office Administrator for a commercial HVAC company. In her spare time, you'll find her day drinking with her husband, writing, reading all kinds of books, listening to music, bragging about her grown children, talking with her spirit guides, reading cards with friends, loving on dogs, dreaming of more boots and more jewelry, and doing all she can to throw more positive out into the universe.

Kim Kyle: Strength, History, and Heart 

OYOU Workshop host, OYOUth, Teaching and Performing Artist

Kim Kyle is a brilliant Texas songwriter and cancer survivor whose life and music are woven deeply into the fabric of the state’s music scene. A longtime fixture of the Houston music community, she is a powerful and seasoned performer and vocalist who began her career more than four decades ago in a trio with Marie English and Lisa Morales, opening for luminaries such as Chris Isaak and k.d. lang. She later fronted the band Kim Martin & Mustang and spent years as a dynamic lead vocalist in various cover and country bands across Texas and Oklahoma, playing legendary venues from Houston’s Mucky Duck alongside Houston great Jack Saunders, to performing in the house band at Tulsa’s storied Wormy Dog — a pivitol venue that helped shape and establish the Red Dirt genre and sound. These days, she continues to perform in a variety of ensembles, including alongside longtime sideman and frontman Willie B in his cover band, Tacocat.

Beyond the stage, Kim devoted herself as a caregiver to her mother — a role that reflects the same strength, grit, and heart that define her music. After stepping away for a time, she returned to performing with renewed fire, continuing to bring authenticity, soul, and Texas spirit to every stage she graces (Website https://kimkylemusic.com/)

Susan Warren 

Assistants:

Val Crevaling & Cecily Howze

Susan was born in Texas and raised in Round Top and Houston. She's currently living in San Marcos. Creating art has always been part of her life. Shae says she has a kaleidoscope brain, and has always been on the lookout for objects to reclaim for different purposes. In 1972, she attended Texas State University to pursue a degree in Commercial Art. During college she designed advertising for a local record shop, that was then used in the University Star. She then began working at Texas State University in the Travel Office, where she designed the logo for the VP of Finance newsletter. Retiring after 28 years, the same year, she began working at the San Marcos Farmers Market. The Market allowed her more time for creativity. She later began experimenting with Mosaics and Cement art, and developed a love for both.
