Steve Hahn
Proficient in classical, jazz, rock, and fusion styles, Steve Hahn excels on four instruments -- trumpet, bass, guitar and a relatively new instrument called the Chapman Stick®.

"Steve Hahn . . . is one of the most amazing musicians in the area. He plays a unique instrument called The Chapman Stick. . . . While playing bass with one hand and guitar with the other, he blows into a trumpet mounted on a microphone stand while controlling the valves on the trumpet with his feet. It's absolutely astounding, something that you must see to believe!" ~ Paul Caruso, Entertainment Scene Denver, Colorado 12/1995

He has performed in such famous venues as Carnegie Hall in New York City; London, England's Royal Albert Hall; and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the White House, and Constitution Hall, all in Washington, D.C., among many others. Come join us in welcoming Steve to JPHH; we are thrilled to be presenting an artist of such renown on our humble stage. Tonight's opening set to be performed by fellow Chapman Stick player, Jim Kam.

Texas Songwriter Showcase
Some of the best singer songwriters from around the state of Texas grace the JPHH stage on the second Friday of each month. January's showcase will feature Gary Seber and Tom Tranchilla. Gary Seber: When you first hear Gary play, you may find it impossible to believe that you're hearing just one musician! He has studied the innovative style of Preston Reed with it's percussive, two-handed fretboard attack. Gary has composed original material and has completed his first CD. Tom Tranchilla: Tom has been writing and performing acoustic music for over 30 years. He performs a variety of styles including folk, ragtime, and blues. His guitar work will astound you as he is a "finger-picking fool". Tom already has one CD under his belt and will soon release his second CD showcasing his talents.
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 stage will be filled with vast musical experience and the show will be an exhilarating musical phenomenon! If you don't play guitar, this show just might inspire you to pick one up and start learning.
