The Brush Country Music Jamboree is a three-hour musical extravaganza which is held the first Tuesday of each month at the Live Oak County Coliseum beginning at 7 p.m.

The house band currently consists of Gary Carriger of Corpus Christi, steel guitar; Bob Miller of Beeville, lead guitar; Larry Sellers of Mineral, bass guitar; Joe Nixon of Devine, fiddle and mandolin; James Skidmore of George West, drums; and George Norris of George West, rhythm guitar.
In addition, Jim Warren of George West is the stage manager; Bill Dragoo of Sinton is the emcee; Dale Cavallin and Dan Reagan of George West handle the sound system; and Jerry Retzloff of Three Rivers is the talent coordinator and publicity chairman.
The Jamboree offers a wide variety of music, including country and western, polkas, waltzes and gospel. It is sponsored by the Live Oak County Fair Association and all net proceeds from the shows go toward its youth scholarship fund. Admission is $3 per person.
