Movin' Target has just released their new CD, UnPegged, which has been in process for almost a year. Fueled mostly by the writing of Jim Wyly
In 2004 Movin' Target won best Americana Band and Best Songwriting at the "Texas Music and Entertainment Awards" in Arlington. Movin' Target has the blend of genres, vocals and new material that will keep your patrons locked in from the first song till the last. The smooth vocals of Mike Arterbury, the flexible and acrobatic vocals of Mark Arterbury, stylistic performances of Jim Wyly and Eddie Penix, some tasteful Fiddlin’ by John Christian, the somewhat hard edge of Eddie Penix on the bass, the Harp from Riley Hickerson and the creative drum spins of Gerald Lowen, keeps the sounds fresh and interesting through out the evening.
Catch a Ride on the Movin' Target Train.
Movin’ Target performs in several different formats. You might find Jim Wyly doing a single singer songwriter act, or Jim, Mike and Mark doing a trio or several different acoustic variations, besides the main band performances..

Anything else...?
We really don't know what genre we fit in. Thus the album was named, "UnPegged", for that very reason.
