Ken
Gaines &
Wayne Wilkerson
Featured in Mississippi Coast Magazine, writer
Max Biedenharn describes Ken Gaines as: “A
singer songwriter with a beautifully clear voice
and articulate guitar accompaniment, Ken has played
and studied a lot of music, but it’s obvious
that he’s also studied himself and his craft
|
|
|
and is committed to finding what’s original
and at the same time, universal in his experiences.”
|
| |
"Together,
Ken and Wayne are Houston's premier duo
for folk from the heart. Ken's styling provides
the foundation, while Wayne adds just the
right amount of spice to serve up a rare
ambrosia for your soul." ~ Texas

Fahl
& Folk
The
band Fahl & Folk is the newest vehicle for
David Fahl’s music. The basic sound
is the traditional folkie vocal, acoustic guitar,
and harmonica, with Michael Farber’s electric
bass adding a groove that turns up the energy
level way past the cliched mellow associated (often
in error) with the folksinger trip. This pair
is frequently augmented by Jimmy Deen on acoustic
and electric guitars, and Chaz Nadege on keyboard
and snare drum.
|
The
Fahl & Folk sound is both familiar and innovative.
The instrumentation is simple and familiar-sounding.
The songs hit comfortable grooves and go places
where folksingers are seldom heard. Fahl’s
songs come from a perspective that uses all the
traditions we hear around us and twists them into
new combinations, telling stories about lovers,
murderers, and the helpless schmoes who just have
a hard time dealing with life in this bizarre
new millenium. When the band does a cover tune,
it’s rarely one from the standards of ‘classic
rock’, and it never sounds like the way you’re
used to hearing it.
So come hear for yourself!

Rhett
Butler
How often do you see someone play two guitars
at the same time?
Musician Rhett Butler is renowned for his ability
with the guitar - the University of North Texas
grad can play two instruments at once with greater
ease than most can play one. Butler has built
a reputation for his innovations in guitar and
he is best known for playing two guitars at the
same time.
|
| |
"It's
not jazz, it's not new age, it's not classical,
but the techniques are. It's obsessive-compulsive
guitar music." ~ Rhett |
|
Without
a record deal, the Texan has managed to sell more
than 12,000 CDs of his instrumental guitar music.
Reviews have heralded him as an instrumental genius,
incorporating sounds which stretch across genres.
We are honored to welcome this traveling troubadour
to the JPHH stage.

Guy
Schwartz & the New Jack Hippies
Texas' premiere blues, rock, hippie jam band, led
by singer/songwriter Guy Schwartz and often including
his sidekick/co-writer, Roger Tausz will be jammin'
out right here on the JPHH stage.
|
|
Schwartz
and his merry band of musicians, the New Jack Hippies,
can match the enthusiasm of any band. About 30 great
musicians make up the core of this band but more than
300 claim membership in the collective, which he describes
as a "Texas blues rock hippie jam band."
Some play regularly -- like keyboardist Chaz Nadege
and Schwartz's long-time collaborator, bassist Roger
Tausz -- while others just show up for gigs from time
to time. The gigs they've played for the past year
have had anywhere from 7 to 18 musicians, of which
3 - 5 are leaders of their own bands. "I never
intended to have the responsibility of a band,"
Schwartz says. "It was an accident."

Guy
has played with Muddy Waters, Lionel Hampton, John
Lee Hooker, Sam 'Lightning' Hopkins, B.W. Stevenson,
Jimmy Reed, Blaze Foley, Roy Head, Sonny James, Little
Joe Washington, Trudy Lynn, Fever Tree, Freddy Fender,

Owls, Big Daddy Gumbo & the Sheetrockers, Chip
Arnold & The Terraplanes, Heath Spencer Philip,
Sandy Hickey, Gerald Gray, Michael Williams, Steve
Radney, Don Sanders, Ashton Savoy, Opie Hendrix and
Gloria Edwards.
His
band has opened up for or shared the bill with Todd
Rundgren & Utopia, U2, Eddie Harris, Duran Duran,
Ramones, Delbert McClinton, Sparks, David Lindley,
Little Feat, Huey Lewis and the News, Eric Johnson,
Carolyn Wonderland, Muddy Waters, Rush, Golden Earring,
Johnny Winter, Romantics, Jeff Beck and ZZ Top.

Shake
Russell
From Bar Harbor, Maine to Santa Fe,
New Mexico; from Los Angeles, California to Nashville,
Tennessee, one can mention among Texas songwriters,
the name “Shake Russell” and be virtually
assured of interest, pleasure and joyful recognition.
If
you’re a true Texan, then Shake Russell’s
music has touched your life in some way. If you’re
not, it happened without your knowing it. Seventeen
million copies of this Texan’s songs have
been bought while being recorded by the likes
of Clint Black, Ricky Skaggs, Waylon Jennings,
and others.
We
are always thrilled when Shake chooses to play
our humble establishment. Tonight he will be making
a rare solo appearance. Please help us to welcome
him to the stage at JP Hops House and join us
for what promises to be another great "shakin"
show.

Travis
Mitchell Band
The
TMB is a result of what happens when you combine
a huge Texas Music fan, a couple of Heavy Metal
hipsters and a Music Scholar with a degree in
Jazz. We don’t know why it works either,
but we’re just glad it does…
The
result of all these varying backgrounds is
|
 |
|
a sound that’s as original and upbeat as
the great state they represent. While this band’s
roots are planted firmly within Texas Country,
their Live performance is a mix of heart pounding
rock with a country flare that is unmistakable.
This young band has accomplished much over the
course of a year, and for them the path ahead
is clear. Continue making truthful down to earth
music, and sharing it with everyone they can.
