Texas Wool Week started as a one week retreat for friends and has transformed in to a working farm experience with fiber and arts vendors, musical entertainment, day trip adventures during the week along with shearing days and more.

Whether you are a homeschool group, a group of friends or wayward traveler, this event has something for everyone. It's your turn to talk to the famers and ranchers, see what we do with our wool and dairy, understand the mechanics of shearing or how to skirt a fleece. Texas Wool Week is an immersive experience for any and all!

Our little Texas group originally hailed from Hockley & Shiner, TX. We have had the privilege of performing for many notable and historical events. We are in our 10th+ year at the reenactment at The Alamo in San Antonio and truly enjoy bringing history back to life especially in such a sacred place as our Alamo. We specialize in playing "period Americana music" (dressed in period clothing of the day from the 1700s-1900s) for Texas events, private parties, weddings, museums, Scottish, Irish & Celtic festivals, area school historic programs, Texas Renaissance Festival, Historical George Ranch & Liendo Plantation events, Dickens on The Strand & other Civil War reenactments. During the 2020 season, due to Covid-19, (& we moved to more Central Texas) we all reconfigured our lives.... Mel and I decided to continue our "historic music vignettes" as a Duo. We greatly appreciate Mark & Mary Shafer's contributions and friendship in our prior time in the band.
Our band members are:
Mel Peters on fiddle, pennywhistle, guitar, jawharp & vocals
Betty Peters on percussion (Bass Box), spoons & Dancing Limberjack
