Songwriter and musician Bill Carter will return to the Red Bike for a show at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

Known to rock with other supercharged names such as Keith Richards and Lyle Lovett, Carter is also pals with Vashon’s Ian Moore. When Carter played at the Bike last August, Moore dropped by for a surprise visit, according to music promoter and Vashon Events co-founder Pete Welch.

“Ian Moore stopped and played for a while. With a lot of music history between them, these two boys from Austin lit up the stage together.”

Welch said fingers are crossed that Moore will again join Carter for an unplanned jam with his musical buddy.

“I can’t just say Ian will be there, but it’s always an open invitation between Bill and Ian,” Welch said.

Carter, who played in the band “P” along with Johnny Depp, has been a pillar of the Austin music scene, helping shape the city’s rich musical history along with his songwriting partner Ruth Ellsworth.

Over 200 artists have created hits based on the songwriting of this Texas troubadour, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Counting Crows, Waylon Jennings and others. There is no cover for this show, which is open to all ages until 11 p.m., then only 21 and older.
