Texas Songwriters' Showcase
Some of the best singer songwriters from around the state of Texas grace the JPHH stage on
the second Friday of each month. The featured band for this evening's showcase is a favorite of the house, The Fowler Brothers. Each monthly showcase also includes Michael and Willie.
The Fowler Brothers: Steve and Jim Fowler together with Tony Kozel offer a great example of laid back, entertaining Texas music. Their well-matched, smoothly harmonizing vocals, paired with the trio's complementary guitar work and original material is always a pleasure to experience. Jazz flair, country influence, ballad carried, and lyric driven, the diversity of The Fowler Brothers is evident.
Michael Pope: Co-founder and co-host of this showcase, Michael has been writing songs for a couple years now. Many of his original's are open tuned, 5 finger picking, folk jazz instrumentals, but his lyrics are strong and reflect his life's experiences. Michael is currently recording his debut album.
Willie B: Willie describes himself as a bluesy guitar player, but he is so much more. He is a gifted and diverse guitar player who writes and performs in many musical genres. Willie writes and sings songs around the people in his life. He has won "Song of the Year" and "Songwriter of the Year" in HFBSA. Willie has recorded four albums to date.
The Texas Songwriters' Showcase always fills the stage with vast musical experience, guaranteeing that the show will be an exhilarating musical phenomenon! Come experience the phenom!

Opie Hendrix & the Texas Tallboys
Awarded as Best Roots Rock/Rockabilly band at the 2003 Houston Press Music Awards, Opie's musical well runs too deep for him to be easily pigeonholed. Renowned throughout the Lone Star State as an electrical live performer, Opie has built a solid repertoire, and a reputation for his unique songwriting with genuine passion for his craft. He plays from the heart, not a set list, so whether you're a redneck or a Deadhead, a punker or a biker, a working stiff or an undergrad, a churchgoer or a barhopper, you'll find something to dig in the Opie Hendrix experience.
  "One source described his music as 'Willie Nelson meets Elvis Costello;' pretty accurate, but even that can't sum up the wealth of talent in this tunester. Opie's song writing takes tradition and distorts it into innovation." ~ houstonheadline.com
