For its second year at bat, Beyond The Pines Music Festival moved to a larger venue at Sam Houston Race Park with headliners Ryan Bingham (“The Weary Kind,” “Southside of Heaven”) and L.A. power-soul rockers Vintage Trouble. The August 5 concert in Houston included performances by Nashville soul singer Anderson East, Austin honky-tonk troubadour Jon Wolfe, Venice Beach neo-glam rocker Stevie Starlight, Polaroid Summer, Shotgun Rider and the Madisons. A portion of the proceeds benefited D.A.W.G. Foundation, which helps place service animals with wounded veterans. All photos by Tracey Makwakwa.
