The family band, The Warman Trio, will be bringing their old rock-n-roll and more to the Valley Star Awards stage on Tuesday, February 12. The group, who have been doing shows and special sock-hop parties at the parks this year, are thrilled to be a part of this year’s show.
The Warman Trio is a 1950s family band and show comprised of a father and two daughters that add their flair to the rock n’ roll and country hits from the 1950s and 60s.

The father, Rick, leads the band on the electric guitar and vocals. While the eldest daughter, Presley Jewell, slaps and dances with her doghouse bass (Rosie) and manages the group. And last, but certainly not least, is the youngest, Jessica, the heartbeat of the band bringing incredible energy to the stand-up drum kit.

Rick leads the family and has been in every type of band there is from 90s to country grass, to oldies rock, to 30+ years as a worship leader. He also has performed all around the world from Siberia, St. Petersburg, and Moscow, Russia, to Amsterdam, to the good ole USA from CA to TX to TN. In 2016, Rick started teaching his daughters music in church, Presley the electric bass guitar and Jessica the cajon box drum/percussion. As they say, the rest is history. Since then, they have, as Presley says, followed where the Lord has led them as doors keep opening for them along their path of playing music for others.

Let’s go on a tour

The Go...With Jo Tours are beginning to pick up. So, get your friends together and lets go traveling...for a day, for three days, for a week or more. Whatever your heart desires, let's make it happen.

Just please, please help me with one thing. Please remember that when I am planning a tour, I enter into a contract with the bus companies, the hotels and the restaurants. All those entities have deadlines when I have to cancel or turn in numbers and pay up. Airlines have a deadline when we can cancel or cut back seats and get our money refunded. Go past that deadline and the deposit will not be returned. Generally, their deadline is about two months out. Hotels are a little different. They generally want a rooming list and a deposit at least thirty days before the day of arrival.

However, one hotel wants the rooming list and a deposit 15 days before the arrival date. And just guess which hotel that is...the Lucky Eagle in Eagle Pass. For some reason travelers going to Eagle Pass want to wait until the week of to make the decision. I am sorry but I must honor the contract. We can't wait to see how you feel or if the sun is shining. So please help us out and register and pay as soon as possible.

If you do get sick or there is an emergency and you can't go, we will refund your money. Just watch deadlines which are always listed in the trip description and read due dates carefully.

The world has changed since I was a little girl. At one point, a verbal contract was all that was needed. Those promises were as good as gold. But now not only does it cost more to live, but your word is also not good enough. The promise must be written and often even witnessed or notarized. Many look on these changes as progress while others might consider the changes as regression.

There is one thing for sure none of the Casinos are going to gamble on the customers intentions. However there has been a drop in what they charge per room. We have passed that reduction on to you. No doubt we are all feeling the cost-of-living increase with food, shelter and clothing taking priority. Travel has become a luxury.

Rest assured anytime I can pass a little savings on to you, I am going to do so. We will do the best we can to offer you the best tour possible. As I plan a tour, I try to see myself as a passenger and imagine what the passenger wants to do and see. We will continue to give you as much as we possibly can in the cost of the tour. And that's a promise.

Hope to see you soon!
