Island Texas consists of a wild combination of friends and family from the Austin/New Braunfels area who like to sail, scuba, fly and play music. Each "Crawdad" (a reference to the old band name) brings their own individual music abilities and background to the group. From acoustic guitars and mandolins, to Caribbean steel drums, congas, trumpets, and even Scottish bagpipes, from rock and roll electric guitars to Texas style steel guitars, it is not hard to find variety in Island Texas. Folks bring their friends and entire families out to have fun with Captain Burko and the group! Captain Burko and the Island Texas play their own fun variety of what they call "Texas Country Surfin' Caribbean Reggae Rock & Roll Island Music" that appeals to a wide range of audiences. Original music, old stuff, new stuff, fast and slow, Island Texas plays it! Lots of Buffett too......... This dynamic and diverse band is great for private events, weddings, Texas country dance halls, Buffett style island parties and everything in between. Island Texas must be the only band to include Scottish bagpipes and Caribbean steel drums. What a combo! Fans love the bagpipe tunes. Everyone has a great time at an Island Texas show.
